Just play it.
As soon as I found out this had local coop I had to try it.
Its super fun. If you played "enter the gungeon", "binding of isaac", etc... You sorta know whats coming.
But this game have something special about it.
Buy it.

The only portion of the game that feels complete is Story Mode. Wich is arguably the mode in wich you will spend the less time. The cinematics are truly a highlight in the game. That being said, I found very dissapointing that there is no "final boss", the final fight was against a character you even used before, and the difficult doesnt go up whatsoever, its just a normal fight and its done... Having a massive portal that merged every timeline, they could just throw a massive enemy from a different timeline, some sort of monster that combined every power and strenght of every character... It might sound silly but it would be more fun than that lame final fight.

Invasion mode should be called "come here and waste your time lil bro". I 100%ed it in a few days, And I swear 90% of the time I was looking at end-match cinematic and stats, inventory bs (like recieving too much useless items, and having to deal with full inventory), "ambush fight" aka "facepalm moment", "secret fight" aka "you love wasting time fight" (and the announcer even congratulates you when you go into secret fight like its a good thing). And 10% of the time I was fighting the most easy IA ever, the only fight that took me a couple of tries was the subzero boss, every other fight took me 1 try even the final boss and every fight behind the fire stone. Its super lazy compared to MK11 crypt... SUPER.

Towers are ok I guess. Truly "classic" tower feeling. Nothing special just a couple of fights.

Tutorial is pretty good like MK11. But for some reason they removed the option to pin the inputs you want to learn. In mk11 you could choose a couple of combos and special moves and have the inputs visible during training and even fights... That was really helpful, now I have to pause every 5 seconds to check different stuff...

Online modes are OK and they work (I havent got much problems, only some fights I get a black screen until me or my opponent leave, I usually wait and get points like I won a match that didnt even start :P), but there is a BIG balance issue. Some characters have to really work and think to get something going on a match, while others just spam the same 2 safe moves until you die because those moves are safe and go into combos everytime (just to mention 1 aspect of the balance issues).

The store is kinda broken and the "refresh" timer doesnt work. So I never know when there will be new stuff. Most characters have pretty cool skins and colours, meanwhile reptile for example is left with default and the most ugly skin in the game aka "power ranger looking ahhhhhh". Truly goofy and colours are ugly too... its insane. Then scorpion already have 4 skins with awesome colours to give you an example. And there is always a yellow dot trying to tell me I have some new item to check but I check everything and the dot wont go away... annoying.

The main menu looks like a "survival crafting game" menu... there is nothing in the menu that says "this is a MK game" or even "this is a fighting game". I dont like the main menu at all compared to mk11 and previous mk games. And it takes too long to go into any game mode.

Trasure room is a waste of time, for some reason it takes a lot of time. I went into it with 35k gold one time and thank god I have a second monitor because otherwise I would ve fallen sleep. I also completed the trasure room and there is still a yellow dot trying to tell me I have something left to do there and when I press on it it says "its completed"... pretty annoying.

More competitive players have a lot of complains about online play, like the player 1 advantage, netcode, etcetc I wont get into that.

The game is still fun and Ill still play it. But it feels empty and lazy compared to mk11. character Animations and graphics are superb.

RE-REVIEW: Ok so they are charging more than the base game for a crap story dlc and the second combat pack... They are selling those togheter as a pack, because obviously noone would buy the story dlc, so they force you to pay enormous ammounts for the combat pack because they force you to also buy the story dlc (wich obviously should be free). Bad practice from the publisher team or whatever... they just keep making more players to leave the game.

This is peak in pvp shooter.

Best game I got into in a loooong time. Alpha gamers only. Betas will quit after a couple of games and even in the tutorial. Only alpha gamers will stick and conquer the killing grounds.

Too bad the game servers and code is so messed up. Trade kills happen way too often, monsters spawn right in your face, you get D/C for no reason... etc.

Those things wont bother you when you are learning the game. But as time passes it gets really annoying.

RE-REVIEW:

So they fixed latency and delay issues in most cases, even trade kill issues. So now its a 10/10 PVP hardcore shooter. And tons of new content added and more to come. AMAZING!

1896 RE-RE-REVIEW:

1896 made me come back to the game. And its fantastic. The map is amazing, the graphics improved, the UI is modernized. One of the few.. if not the only game that makes my body pump adrenaline... truly a game.

Its just a fun addition to your screen. You can adjust the space of the screen the pets take. There are a lot of pets to chose from and more are added in updates.

Also Its free, so try it out. Have in mind the software is being developed and a lot of QoL updates and features wil be added.

You can get the DLC to support the dev and get capibaras and other pets. I have a capi and a turtle now, thats my favourite combo right now.

You have nothing to lose and little cute pets to win. So try it. I recommend it now that the dev showed he cares and will be updating this.

NEGATIVE RE-REVIEW:
This went for PAID only version, and I lost access to the software. I even bought support pack dlc when t was avalable when the software was free. and Now I cant use it anymore. And the dev wont respond. So I gave him money and supported the project for nothing, he took the software from my hands lmao

Me comí una salchipapa
Ay que cosa tan sabrosa
y se me quedó en la garganta
porque no me quedó para la gaseosa

Este juego es realmente único.

Siempre me gustaron los Pinball, nunca me imaginé la mezcla entre Pinball y Metroidvania. Y este juego no solo mezcla esos dos géneros si no que también lo hace a la perfección. Al principio cuesta un poco engancharse porque parece que te estas perdiendo y como que te abruma el mapa y todos sus pasadizos. Pero después de un par de sesiones todo encaja y ya se disfruta al máximo.
El arte visual tiene personalidad, la música también. El gameplay es ingenioso y requiere habilidad y reflejos. Los momentos fuera de las secciones de Pinball, las de exploración, son igual de buenas. Muchos personajes por conocer, muchos objetos por recojer, batallas de jefes, secretos, aspectos que encontrar, atajos y herramientas para comprar, etc.

No hay otro juego para compararlo. Así que por lo que es: 10/10

This might be the best rythm game on steam. There are some cool ones out there, but the visuals and gameplay in this one are too good... and the soundtrack definetely is the best on any rythm game on steam.

Played for the first time and I was enjoying it a lot. It has a cool deep vibe to it. And the controls are tight.
BUT, I dont like at all how ladders work. I can think of a few better implementatios but no one will care. But basically ladders ruin the experience for me. Specially the one you encounter facing a 90° direction. I will definitely reach the top tho

I mean... no, but yeah.

most of negative reviews come from people annoyed by some company/payment management regarding some audio tracks in-game... I didnt and I dont care about reading about it. But this is not a review for the company's management. Its for the game. And its awesome. It doesnt feel like doom, its like playing chess against monsters and you need to grow some extra fingers to pull all the crazy gadgets and weapon combination this has. But if you are willing to learn deep mechanics (not doom-like at all) while also being a violent demon slayer then you will enjoy this game A LOT. Thats exactly why I didnt buy this game on release. I loved 2016, it was reaching with a few extra mechanics but it was OK. When I found out ETERNAL was that multiplied by 5 in terms of mechanics and tactics I refused to buy it because it was obviously not a "DOOM" game... I got it now full with every dlc highly discounted and man its good. 10/10 fps, the lore doesnt botter and its basic and cool, music literally rocks, graphics makes your head spin (it gets insane and fast), gunplay is superb, when you get used to its "rock paper scissors" nature you feel like a machine.

I played 32 hours now. Only now I can honestly say im getting somewhat good at the game. Combos, quick switching, resource management, prioritization, movement, etc. And this has to be the best SP FPS experience ever made. I think about combos and my finger movement while trying to fall asleep. I want to get a good night rest so my brain capacity it high the next day to perform and get a little better the next day. Its just awesome. I wish everyone undestood what this game is really about.

10/10
