This is a twin stick shooter.

I couldn't quite wrap my head around the feel of this game at first.

It did not feel like a loot arpg or a hack and slash or any of the hybrids.

It does have a souls like feel to it but then it hit me.

It's a twin stick shooter with a skill tree and sparse loot.

Maybe the game can market it as such.


I know the sales might dip if you call it that but it would be the most honest way to describe the game.

And poe1 is pong but you can make your paddle extremely massive.

It's not though

Ranged builds can benefit from the second stick (and pre-early access stuff talked about that play style a fair bit) but even then it's entirely optional whether to use that or stick with auto target

Event then it doesn't behave like a shooter because you can't just hold down shoot and spin around killing everything

Postal - look it up if you did not play this gem in '97 :)
