Had a great time with the demo, would have liked a bit more feedback on enemies taking damage though. Made all the weapons feel a bit weak and gave the impression that enemies had brief iframes after taking damage.
I love the design of the main character, the UI looks gorgeous, the music fuckin' rocks, and it feels so good once you get shmovin' with all the equipment upgrades. I also really like that you can throw temp. weapons to save on ammo.
Only somewhat negative thing I have is that I didn't really vibe with the Shock Gun and never really used it, but that wasn't a big deal. That, and I kept flickering my flashlight when trying to throw my weapon. I changed it to R, which was easier being closer to my index, but if the full release has reloading weapons with R that might be tricky.
Those are frankly really small nitpicks because this demo was great, it feels like Metroid from a different timeline.
Nice Abuse remake!
everyone keeps telling me about this game but i still haven’t tried it yet 😅
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Acrolyte is hands down one of the most immersive and innovative Demos I’ve played in years. From its stunning visuals to its engaging movement, it effortlessly hooks you from the start. The world-building is exceptional; every corner of the game feels alive and rich with detail, making exploration a joy.
The gameplay mechanics are fluid and satisfying, with a perfect balance of action and puzzle-solving. The combat system is intuitive yet rewarding, allowing for both tactical and fast-paced encounters. The skill progression feels meaningful, and there’s always a sense of growth as your character evolves.

A game made by The Real Mccad00 Studios. 100% guaranteed customer satisfaction or your time back via time space dilation. An incredible work of art, years in the making. Impossible to not enjoy unless you achieve skill deficiencies with your mouse and keyboard skills. Truly a masterpiece. 5.2/5 stars
