The Serious Sam roguelike with gameplay inspired by that of popular roguelikes such as the Binding of Isaac and Nuclear throne. In terms of fun factor, Tormental is high on my list of favorite roguelikes despite the fact that I find the early game still way more punishing than it should be and constantly go between loving the game and hating it with a passion that burns harder than the hatred I feel when I die in Dark Souls. This little teeter-totter I'm on just makes me wish there were more permanent unlockables in this game that I could earn even if I end up dying a lot early on and then use as I please with some of them of course making the game harder, some making it easier, and maybe some simply being cosmetic if you could find a decent way to do that in a top-down shooter like this. Now I don't think we'd be seeing unlockables like that at least for a while because of a multitude of reasons. (I expect probably a lot of people would put these reasons in the comments followed by the phrase "Git gud, [WORD NOT SUITED FOR COMMUNITY]" if I enabled comments on this review.) What I usually like about roguelikes I've played so far is learning to make good builds from that random loot I'm given when I have the ability to choose 1 of X items/upgrades, but in Tormental all the builds seem to feel the same to me except for the ones that allow you do shoot yourself and take damage. Again despite my beefs with the game in its current state, it has all the other stuff that makes a good roguelike, I still find some enjoyment in it, it may be worth your time, and hopefully I'll have less to dislike about this game and I'll edit my review between now and the day after Tormental comes out of Early Access with or without some change or addition from the devs. I will be checking out each update to the game as they're released.. Changing the review to reflect information I obtained through the dev.as it is right now, this is a promising start for a dual stick roguelite.The visuals are well done, it's unique enough to not look liek anything else ont he market,m and it has the serious sam combat you probably expect - only it's delivered throutgh top-down aesthetics instead.You get a main wep - as of now, it has infinite ammoand a serious wep - these have limited ammo, and are generally better stronger weps.There's a bunch of secret stuff I noticed right off the bat, such as an area where an entity wants TONS OF KEYS for goodies.There's 3 chars, and they each have their own special attack sam does a jump, the er, robot girl has a black hole, and the other dude is a bomber. he probably bombs stuff x3there's a roll, but it is NOT A DODGE ROLL. there actually is no dodge roll in this game.might change, but as it is right now - none.Some mior performance issues, but that's top be expected when in early access.keep in mind any of this might change in updates ( the devs have done some drastic changes so far ). frustrating, unfair, badly balanced and not fun!small enemies do as much harm as big enemies you go dead with 3 hits not fun and one can not save even if it should be a rogue shooter in any case because Serious Sam's Bogus Detour had done better even if you try it 5-6 times you do not come to the next world, start all over again not a fun gamei had expected more beautiful and i'm disappointed, sorry croteam. Serious Sam: Tormental is like the Dark Souls of Rogue-Lite/Bullet Hell games. It's a fun combination of Enter the Gungeon and Serious Sam.This isn't much of a first impressions review, as I've played quite a bit. I love this game. I saw a negative review because you die quickly and it's hard, but it's called Tormental for a reason ;)Tormental is possibly my favorite game currently (I'm a sucker for Bullet Hell games, and a sucker for Serious Sam.)I played this game quite a bit so far, and I will DEFINITELY play more!Pros:-Fun-Easy to Learn-Hard to Master-Original voice actor still voicing Serious Sam, still a plus imo, he's a nice guy.-Multiple playable characters-Hard bossesCons:-Only a few rooms per area, I personally want more rooms like Gungeon.-Sound Design for music and such is not goodBugs I found-Bombs spawn on me during the Rodeo boss (fixed)-Dodging doesn't work (fixed, I think)-My cursor didn't work in game (fixed)Overall? This game is a 10/10 on my part. I can see hundreds of hours coming from this game, but let's have more areas to explore, better sound quality and a few more varieties of Serious Weapons. :). WON IN A GIVEAWAYWhile the game in enjoyable it feels lacking in boss fights. Each zone has a specific boss atm unsure if this will change, but after fighting the two bulls 30 times, i am getting pretty tired of it. I let this pass for the time being as well it is early access.I haven't had significant bugs messing up the game.The thing is I said I would do a review once I make a single loop, but I have unable to do that. I am just so used to dodge rolling (i.e. pressing Shift) in these sorts of game that the idea of pressing spacebar to jump over bullets feels somewhat alien. I think if I could get around that issue, then I would be able to loop pretty easy as it not super duper hard.. Thay said: "Created by fans of Geometry Wars, Nuclear Throne, Binding of Isaac, Serious Sam and Enter the Gungeon. <3" and it is true. I want a little better sound design and more cool synergy builds, but game already has been perfectly playable and enjoyable. Sry 4 my bad english..

The game is really fun and it really feels like a Serious Sam game, even though it's a top - down twin stick shooter. The gameplay is fast paced, fluid and responsive - exactly how you would expect it to be from a team that comes from the Croteam incubator.. I know that this game is in early access but c'mon, look at this scenario:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=162PJOaKaEoI couldn't even play this game because of bug that wouldn't render next level.... It's like Nuclear Throne but better. I would have liked to have seen more of the classic Serious Sam enemies - I didn't recognize any of these guys.
