The characters are good, the music is calming and somehow fitting, the mechanics are easy to understand, but the recall makes it too easy, you can always recall and you get full life and you can grind the first level to unlock all the new stuff. maybe recalling could cost money if its in a room full of enemies. or maybe not restarting the enemies once you cleared the room.
also, having to battle against mechanic and organic enemies is a good idea, but the organic enemies should give something, maybe a new "coin" to unlock even more stuff, like, a way to cure the heart.
over all, its agood game, from the idea, mechanics, the music and the visuals, but it need polishing.
Reviews for "GRIEVOUS"
In my years of playing Game Jam games on Newgrounds, this has to be one of the best ones I've ever touched, it's clear you guys have some great understanding of level design, combat choreography, and experience with both roguelikes and bullet hell games.
I'm glad to have played this, and am excited to see what you'll do in the future!
Wow! Great controls, unique story and it all runs smooth, with great background audio! Excellent
Soothing soundtrack, clean artwork, clear objective, straight-forward controls.
Grievous will leave you wanting for more.
It's difficult but I love the art style and how the game works. The controls feel great, not too float-y and just works really well. Thank you for making such a great game!
