How it feels

A frantic top-down shoot-em-up where you blast enemies and planets in chaotic bullet-hell combat.

What players say

Players are split on Asterogues. The core bullet-catching combat is praised as clever and fun, drawing favorable comparisons to Enter the Gungeon. However, many say the 1.0 launch feels incomplete, citing unresponsive controller support, a buggy local co-op mode, and performance drops from item combos. The short run time and lack of visual clarity also come up as downsides.
