Yo! I LOVE your game. I picked it up thanks to this review. Quick question - I am confused by the inventory system. It seems like some items can be dropped/swapped, and some can't, but it's unclear to me which and when. For example, when I swap a main gun from my inventory, it swaps the dead (out-of-ammo) one back into that slot, but sometimes when I attempt to switch a sidearm in, it "drops" it instead? For some reason, it's confusing me during gameplay. Am I an idiot? I have a two-year-old in the house (for the record I only play after she's in bed lol) so maybe my brain is just on low batteries...
@MoreDracula Жыл бұрын
@@montanaknox1066 Yeah you right, sidearm can't be switched from inventory, we figured you don't really need to do it, because it has unlimited ammo, while switching normal gun on the fly makes sense. We'll see if this can be improved somehow.

Been following this game since it was called “I, Dracula - Genesis”. This developer is super humble and knows this game doesn’t have a lot of coverage, which is BONKERS because HOLY CRACKERS, HARRIET, this game is GOOD. If you even SLIGHTLY enjoy roguelikes or twin stick shooters, BUY THIS, and then tell all your friends so the dev finally gets the recognition he deserves!!!

I kind of liked the title "I, Dracula - Genesis" better. I understand it's probably technically worse for sales because it sounds too weird and cryptic, but it fits the game better compared to the generic sounding "Doomsday Hunters". Oh well. I hope the rebrand helps get the game the attention it deserves.
@brett84c Жыл бұрын
This is probably the best roguelite/like I've played since Risk of Rain 2 and is easily up in the S tier with the likes of Hades and Dead Cells. This game will definitely be compared to Enter the Gungeon but I find it WAY more fun and replayable, especially due to the metric ton of unlocks and emergent gameplay based on the myriad of different weapons and side perks you can get like leaving mines behind when jumping or summoning death circles when taking X amount of damage. The meta progression is super satisfying and there's so many cool little secrets and things to discover on each run. I really hope this game takes off because the devs clearly put a ton of care and love into it. Spread the word, people!
