  Great fun and value for money even at early access. Not like vampire survivor, you get 4 abilities, a basic attack, a secondary spell that has no cool down and 2 other spells that have cool downs (all spells consume mana) Your spells and basic attack are things you need to aim.

  An awesome Rogue-like gem! The game feels very well made, the animations for spells especially are really good, the artstyle, arts for the enemies and particles, musics, sound effects are really well as well. I was absolutely hooked to this game after 5 minutes of playing. The game has stats like Crit Chance, Crit Damage, Attack Speed, Speed of your character, Ranged and Melee Damage Resistance etc. which can be upgraded after you finish a map. There are also Basic, Expert and Primary Skills and those skills have elemental effects. I could find Arcane, Fire and Lighting but there might be more because I just started playing. There is a level system which unlocks certain features, weapons and emblems/perks. The elemental side of skills are really cool and you can have some awesome builds combined with Emblems. Emblems are passive skills that help you with your skills, survivability, stat boosts etc. Combining everything and you get an really solid and good gameplay. I had an awesome run where I went with a lighting elemental damage/skill build. The emblembs are really well crafted where they go really good with the spells and enchances them. For example, in my lighting run, an emblem makes it so that lighting based skills has a chance to stun. I combined this with an emblem where stunned enemies take a percentage based damage over 3 seconds. And I combined these with an emblem where I heal based on the mana I spent. This was especially really good for survival and my lightning skills all spends mana. To cherry on top, I got an emblem where for every 10 mana you spend a random enemy gets stunned so this chained so good with the other perk where a stunned enemy gets damaged. This is one example of how great the game synergies emblembs with spells. Of course these emblems are randomly given to the player and the player has the choice to choose one out of 3 so I was a bit lucky with my lighting run but this is one of the examples on how the game lets you have these crazy builds which are really fun! All in all, this game is really solid especially for it's price point. I would totally recommend this game if you like rogue-like games. I honestly cannot wait for future updates and it's early access is to a really great start for me!

  Cool game but no permanent upgrades or any other sense of progression so you can just pass the game in <1 hour

  A decent arena roguelike that is in need of more content.

  Another day another arena roguelike. These things have been a dime a dozen since the success of Vampire Survivors, but Neophyte actually tries to set itself apart rather than trying to ride on VS' coattails. You take a much more active role in Neophyte, moving around a small arena with four spells at your disposal. The game is wave-based with each of three stages having unique enemies and a unique boss. Each time you complete a set of waves, you level up, allowing you to select emblems (power ups), stat boosts and switch out your equipped spells. I haven't counted, but I think it's the fifth set that has the boss fight and once you get through that you move up to the next stage. Beating the game will net you gems that unlock new emblems and spells for you to find in your runs. Now for my actual opinion on the game. Initially I was impressed by the clean visuals, snappy animation and easy to pick up combat. The gameplay is definitely fun and trying out different combinations of spells and emblems is enjoyable. Unfortunately the game really falls down in the overall content department. Yes there are a decent number of spells, and lots of emblems, but the three stages are always the same. Same enemies, same bosses and same small arenas each time you play. It gets pretty dull and the challenge modifiers you unlock make the same content harder, rather than opening up new content. At the end of the day, it's a $3 game and the gameplay is fun so it's not the end of the world, but I would really like to see more content added (alternate stages would be particularly nice). With all that said, if you're a fan of arena roguelikes a la Vampire Survivors, this is definitely one of the better ones and I'd recommend checking it out. Kemo's Corner.

  I had a lot of fun for the hour I played in this game, but I was able to beat the game on my second run and there just isn't enough content for me personally. I like the mechanics of being in a bullet heaven that's not just standing around and letting the game do it for you, but the lack of content doesn't entertain me enough. I understand the game is priced very cheap, and I would gladly pay more if the game had more content to sink my teeth into.
