Is it worth it?

[Garbeh]

Hey guys/girls
As in the title:
Is this game worth its (p)rice?

[Memph]

Hell yes.

[Rivll]

just finished my third playthrough in essentially NG + 3 had a blast once more.
the game rly shines with the bigger levelspace and diverse enemie composition compared to "normal" game.

So short answer yes and I dont have to go far to say its a steal even.
Its very well done, runs flawless, ultra fast loading times no crash whatsoever.

Gameplay is less bullet dodgy than games like enter the gungeon , nuclear throne and more about beeing quick to position yourself and engage right. Not to say you cannot dodge bullets here, you can but its more rewarding to pick the right angle for things.
Also you can decide how you wanna play way more than the forma mentioned titles due to bigger geometry and destructive nature of walls. Be methodic about it or go run n gun its up to you. ( sudden reinforcements and or missteps to mix it up thou ;).

Beeing able to prebuy the weapon of your liking, your ability and one starting cybergear is a nice touch compared to other games aswell.

So yeah I recomment it wholeheartly for sure.
I played NT , ETG and nearly every twinstick shooter there is and this is a buy!

[Brtzlmo]

the core gameplay, the weapons and the physics are very fun and satisfying. I am no big fan of the iOS graphics but I`m still totally hooked by the game. the price is more than fair I think.

[>-FISH-D]

If you like roguelikes and twin sticks then defintely yes! I'm having alot more fun with this than EtG.

[The.Th!ng]

I think it's a great game. Well worth the asking price. I haven't even managed to clear level 3 yet, but that hasn'r put me off at all and I love the art style with all the nicely detailed models.

[Johnny Fronthole]

♥♥♥♥ yeah, it is.

[BlackjackGT]

Heck, yeah -- plus you can see how active, responsive and cheerful the Finnish devs are here at the forums.

While I haven't made my own review public (when I can finally get my compilation gameplay video done and uploaded to YouTube, I'll link to it in my review and make it public), my laudatory lead is something like this...

A riproaring, chaotic, exciting sci-fi twin-stick shooter with procedurally generated levels and nearly fully destructible environments, from the developer of Crimsonland, If you love twin-stick shooters, then you should absolutely be playing Neon Chrome right now, instead of reading my blathering. :-)

I added a disclaimer towards the end that the "chaotic" part may not apply if you play as Assassin.

I'm a little flustered that quite a few pals on my Steam friends list have Neon Chrome on their wishlist but haven't jumped in. I'm a little hesitant on gifting though as I gifted Helldivers (when it was on sale a while back) to two pals and one never so much as installed it to this day :p, and the other put in maybe a couple hours or so and never played it again.

You can drag a gamer to water, but you can't make him drink. :D

[Garbeh]

Thanks for answers guys :D
I think that I'm going to buy this game now.
If people that played NT and EtG enjoyed it, I'll enjoy it too :)

[Tiennoux]

I just bought it on humble bundle to support the devs and played 20min, it looks awesome. I was especially impressed by the steamspy stats about the game, 12 hours median playtime is no small feat, it's a very positive data which tells the players enjoy the game a lot. Hopefully the game will sale better in the future..

If you have somebody to play with, I'd say yes.

Imo, these games are often better when played alone. There's nothing more frustrating than playing a roguelike in co-op where your friend gets in the way if everything - even if they are decent at the game.

Yeah, I refunded Enter The Gungeon for this. I'm not disappointed, definitely the better game of the two. Enter The Gungeon isn't a bad game, I just didn't find it interesting enough to keep in my library.

Something, seemingly not mentioned, is how well the game introduces new game mechanics to you. I have played a lot of games with heavy handed tutorials, clear "THIS IS A NEW ENEMY" introduction phases, so on and so forth. In Neon Chrome I was always intrdocued to a new enemy or mechanics gently but without a great deal of theatrics. Bosses were easy to learn because the core of the game runs well and its well played.

Im on Overseer 4.0 now, so I have beaten the game... 3... times? I've forgotten. All I know is once I start over the game feels as unforgiving as the first time I launched it.

One of the better games I have actually played. If only the Devs were funded well enough to do an online Co-op (lets hope this title gets them there)

[SomeTallDude]

It's absolutely worth the money. I enjoy this more than Enter the Gungeon, since it's not so much of a bullet hell game. The theme and graphics are also much more interesting to me personally, but the moment-to-moment gameplay is really where this game shines.

[BlackjackGT]

Not gonna spam my gameplay video compilation, just thought it should get a play in a "Is it worth it?" thread. It's a 1080HD vid so you might adjust the gear icon if it doesn't start that way; I think you can click the YouTube logo to watch it full screen at their site; or maximize the Steam embed player window for a better view.

-I don't do stealth/assassin. I'm sure a player who prefers to play that way would have a drastically different video compilation to share. :)
-Some of the initial vid is fuzzy because I hadn't adjusted the graphics options yet (filter et al).
-The video's about 10 minutes. The player says 16 mins 26 secs because I guess it can't show the "edited video length" for some reason.

I got it for $13.49 and prefer it over some titles that costed me $19.99-$59.99 over launch. It's simple but addicting and has more replayability than Enter The Gungeon without ever getting repetitive - if it does get repetitive, then you probably weren't really looking for a top-down shooter in the first place. Someone compared this game to Hotline Miami 2 in a review, while I thought it was silly at first, I thought about it for a bit. After a few minutes I finally got it. While Hotline Miami 2 is just a simple minded game (run and gun but do it carefully), it never gets dull or boring. Same thing with this game... it's just really well made in that very sense.

[Slipgate Tourist]

Yes
