Had to uninstall the game due to a lack of self control. Do not play this game if you have stuff you need to do and can't say no to "one last run".

The kind of game you can use to actively avoid engaging in critical real life responsibilities. :')

Not bad. Be warned, this game's "humor" is "quirk chungus" style. If you'd get annoyed when the game says things like "you ded - maybe him skill issue?", then this game is not for you.

I don't really like games like Vampire Survivors. Like, they're okay, but not totally for me. This game is like if Vampire Survivors was Risk of Rain 2. Which I do like. This game is good. It's so good that I played it on my brother-in-law's Family Share copy for so long that he just gifted me the game, because I forgot that I never actually bought it myself, and I was accidentally stopping him from playing on the copy he bought for himself. If you're reading this review, David, my bad g. But yeah anyways, that's how much I enjoyed it.

The more you play the more you realise this is a mile wide and an inch deep. It has the bones of a solid game but the majority of items need a re-balance as most are useless. You can't get a good run going unless you use the 'meta' items, If you don't have the meta items the stage 3 boss is a joke. It just needs a really good balance pass throughout. It's something you don't realise until the novelty has worn off and you're deep into it.

>wanted to play something before bed, saw this on sale >end up staying up extra 2 hours >make skeleton guy go so fast the game crashes >10/10 would recommend

Amazing first impressions. Super fun and addicting game. Then once you reach tier 3, it all falls apart. The balance is a mess, or should I say, the game has so many guardrails to prevent you becoming very strong because it seems that the devs are terrified of you becoming overpowered. If I posted a review prior to reaching tier 3, I would easily recommend it because the game is genuinely super damn fun at the start, but now that I've gotten deeper into the game and its systems. Honestly, I would not recommend it until further updates address these issues.

Just when you already think the game can't get any cooler you suddenly unlock a skeleton who rides a skateboard named Calcium.

This game is just like our country, Iran. If you want to get stronger, you have to raise the difficulty. But instead of increasing it yourself, you open a chest and, of course… it gives you some useless item with super low rarity that says “Difficulty +7%.” Feels kinda good at first. But the scary part is when you suddenly check your inventory and realize you’ve got 15 of these, and without any real benefit, you’ve made the game 96% harder—yet all you got in return is just +1 damage. ---{ Graphics }--- ☐ You forget what reality is ☑ Beautiful ☐ Good ☐ Decent ☐ Bad ☐ Don‘t look too long at it ☐ MS-DOS ---{ Gameplay }--- ☑ Very good ☐ Good ☐ It's just gameplay ☐ Mehh ☐ Watch paint dry instead ☐ Just don't ---{ Audio }--- ☑ Eargasm ☐ Very good ☐ Good ☐ Not too bad ☐ Bad ☐ I'm now deaf ---{ Audience }--- ☐ Kids ☑ Teens ☑ Adults ☐ Grandma ---{ PC Requirements }--- ☑ Check if you can run paint ☐ Potato ☐ Decent ☐ Fast ☐ Rich boi ☐ Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Game Size }--- ☑ Floppy Disk ☐ Old Fashioned ☐ Workable ☐ Big ☐ Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive ☐ You will want an entire hard drive to hold it ☐ You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data ---{ Difficulty }--- ☐ Just press 'W' ☐ Easy ☑ Easy to learn / Hard to master ☐ Significant brain usage ☐ Difficult ☐ Dark Souls ---{ Grind }--- ☐ Nothing to grind ☐ Only if u care about leaderboards/ranks ☐ Isn't necessary to progress ☑ Average grind level ☐ Too much grind ☐ You'll need a second life for grinding ---{ Story }--- ☐ No Story ☑ Some lore ☐ Average ☐ Good ☐ Lovely ☐ Absolute Cinema ---{ Game Time }--- ☐ Long enough for a cup of coffee ☐ Short ☐ Average ☐ Long ☑ To infinity and beyond ---{ Price }--- ☐ It's free! ☑ Worth the price ☐ If it's on sale ☐ If u have some spare money left ☐ Not recommended ☐ You could also just burn your money ---{ Bugs }--- ☑ Never heard of ☐ Minor bugs ☐ Can get annoying ☐ CyberPunk 2077 release ☐ The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ ? / 10 }--- ☐ 1 ☐ 2 ☐ 3 ☐ 4 ☐ 5 ☐ 6 ☐ 7 ☐ 8 ☐ 9 ☑ 10

Risk of Rain meets Vampire Survivors. Super fun and addictive. The only thing it's missing is co-op.

I'll start by saying that the game caught me by surprise, I played about 9h straight after I bought it, and have unlocked ~70% of the unlockables. It was more fun than I thought it would be from the videos I saw, but ultimately fails to deliver on what you expect from the survivor/roguelike genre. I would recommend this to anyone that is new to these types of games or has little knowledge on the genre and its potential (though I'd rather recommend better games), and won't recommend it to people that have played many games of the genre and are big fans of this type of game. Now lets begin. - Music: I'll start with my biggest glaze, the music is amazing, catchy, and really complements the game as a whole and the chaos that happens in a run. I am a huge fan of it so big applause, I can see myself listening to it outside of the game. - Weapons/Characters: Slightly better than I expected. There are a looot of weapons taken from vampire survivors but with much more boring designs. Sword is whip, firestaff is water wand, rocks are the bible, aura is garlic etc. Not much to criticise here since pretty much all survivor like games have these weapons in them, but if you are looking for some innovation then prepare to spend a couple of hours playing with the same thing you've probably played with for hundreds of hours. I will give credit to the rest of the weapons you can unlock, I like that projectiles bonce with the revolver (and some other weapons), I like the poison flask and poison character, Robinhood scaling with gold is also an interesting concept which I liked. My biggest complaint is the lack of weapon evolves and that there is seemingly no weapon lvl cap. This goes hand in hand with game balancing but I will talk about it further on. Lack of weapon evolves makes this game feel a lot more bland than it should be, there is no choice between taking a bad tome (utility) but having the payoff of dps increase with a weapon evolve, or simply go for dps stats and brute force your way through the game like that. Every decision is pretty much a stat check. Every ranged weapon wants +projectiles and projectile speed with attack speed, every melee weapon wants raw damage, size and another stat (Except katana and dexecutioner). Makes the combat feel very old very quick with little to no room for creative/fun builds, so very big let down here. Having no lvl cap also means that realistically you will have 1 weapon 10 lvls ahead of the rest, 1 in the middle, and the rest sitting at lvl 1/2 doing barely anything in the background, which is also very disappointing. This could be easily fixed if the game had an endless mode (which to my knowledge there is none, but more on that later). My suggestion would be to have a minimum level required for a weapon to upgrade (lets say 10) and then having a chance of it upgrading when opening a chest with the chance increasing with your luck for example or weapon level after 10. Some weapons will also have questionable upgrade options, such as size for projectile weapons. It is painful to waste a level on such a useless stat and many weapons have this problem. Another complaint is the lack of transparency on how each stat/weapon scales. Does duration make bullets bounce more since the projectiles would last longer? Does luck affect crit chance? I think this is easily solvable by adding a library section where you can check each weapon and how each stat impacts the scaling of your weapons and your character. Less importantly, it would be nice if chests could give you more than 1 item and have it scale with luck, it would dramatically help with the lack of power you have from stage to stage. Tldr: Weapons are okay, very bland and get old very quickly. No weapon evolves, but some weapons are fun to use. Slight letdown. - Enemies and Balancing: Oh boy, where do I start. Enemy design Each level has 3 tiers, with the same enemies, the same minibosses and boss in all of them. It is absolutely criminal the lack of variety, especially in minibosses and bosses. The game tries the ror2 approach of having a boss portal to progress stages, but fighting the same boss 3 times in a run, with the same lazy, boring moveset is insulting. There is a lack of creativity when it comes to the design of these encounters which end up being a chore to progress rather than a moment where you might feel some tension and face a challenge. The minibosses are the most forgettable whatever things in the world, in the forest chunkham only has 1 forgettable move, Stone and sand golem are exactly the same, with the same boring moveset that is copied from the forest boss. The only semblance of creative direction with these encounters is in the scorpion miniboss and anubis, they actually have a decent and somewhat tricky moveset that will put you in an uncomfortable spot and pose somewhat of a challenge. So credit to these two but the rest are a massive let down. There is so much more room for cool bosses with the 3D vampire survivors like twist to it, a mecha skeleton with a bullet hell mechanic, a dragon that shoots fireballs at you, a giant sandworm, Chunkhams drunk dad with a giant machete, like anything is better than what's in the current game. Lastly, and I think the most insulting part of this game, the final boss is a joke. The final boss is yet again a reskin of the same boss you already fought twice, with the same moveset but an absurd health pool. Usually your crits will be shy of 1k dmg, maybe slightly more depending on your items and run, and the boss has around 8M health. Not only this, but you can only use your starter weapon as the rest are disabled. I genuinely cannot understand what the thought process in here was. Started playing sword character but ended up having good rng for a poison flask build? Well now you are completely useless in the final encounter. The game is pretty much telling you to only invest in the starter weapon of each character and anything else is irrelevant as it won't help you complete your run. RoR2 also has this mechanic in one of the final bosses, but it occurs during the second phase with a large enough window to outdps it before you lose all your items. Ultimately a very big lack of understanding of what makes the games megabonk draws huge amounts of "inspiration" from good, and feels more like a sloppy collage of both that quickly falls apart. If it is the game's direction to have you only use 1 weapon for the last encounter then don't bother giving the player slots for more. Balancing Terrible to put it short. Again, lack of understanding on what makes roguelikes fun. The difficulty increases very sharply from tier to tier instead of an exponential increase that eventually leads to chaos, in 95% of your runs you never feel strong, maybe you'll feel somewhat strong at the end of tier 1 and in tier 2 feel like you started your run from scratch with abysmal damage and crazy health scaling on the enemies, but most notably the boss and minibosses, and the same from tier 2 to tier 3. There is no power fantasy to be had since the runs are so short and the enemies scale so hard that it becomes a sysiphean task rather than an enjoyable experience. Price on chests could also be slightly decreased as they get absurd later on. It feels like the game is actively fighting against you and preventing you from having success and fun. A very easy fix is to have an endless mode with a more exponential increase in difficulty and disable silver gained on the final swarm as I can see people farming huge amounts in very long runs. If not then have more stages and smoother scaling. To finish, the game could use more levels, with more interesting and creative stages and boss encounters, better balancing to make the game fun instead of a chore to complete. Huge wasted potential, with an early access feel rather than a complete game. If there was an endless mode I wouldn't mind pouring hundreds of hours into it tho.

Risk of Rain and Vampire Survivors in a BONKtacular fusion. Strength of both, weakness of neither. 10/10, would bonk again.

If Risk of Rain 2 and Vampire Survivors had unprotected sex, this would be the result. This game is wonderful. Buy it.

Look, the gameplay loop is great, but this game suffers from the primary flaw of its genre: the more stuff you unlock, the harder it will becomes to make a viable build. Still worth throwing money at the dev if you enjoyed the demo and don't mind leaving most of the unlocks locked. ETA: Right after I posted the original review, I unlocked a feature that helps mitigate that issue a bit. ETA2: Apparently there is a late game unlock that allows for full control of what items can appear, per a user in the comments. Once again, please give the dev some money.

Every positive review is true and I genuinely enjoy the game, but they fail to mention how bad the balance is. Once you hit tier 3, you'd better hope that the RNG gods are with you , otherwise, finishing a run is pretty much impossible. Tier 3 boss is also bs, seeking orbs that you can't escape, plus he regenerates while being invisible and you CAN'T lifesteal off of him

Not my genre of game so I refunded but the game itself is objectively solid.

Game is good - would be MINT if it was co-op like RoR2, but the game is good! Edit: Game is REALLY good..

I see you trying to talk yourself out of it...scrolling the negative reviews huh? Stop it. It's great. Do Bonk. Buy it. Support the dev.

It's really tough to say I "recommend" Megabonk. I actually kind of don't, but I think I have to. I don't want to be over here saying "oh yeah, you should totally get addicted to a mindless frustrating time-sink" with my whole chest. I'd love nothing more than to complain about how it's a derivative contemptuous stew of memes and gank-bait, whose most noteworthy contribution to the survivor-like genre is "fall damage". I am chomping at the bit to complain, at length, about how this game disrespects you, your time, your joy, and your patience, with the bold audacity of a supermodel calling you an ugly loser dork during a date, because they know you'll still pay for dinner. I swear I could go off on one for a full minute about how particularly bad the speed and movement mechanics are, knowing full well there's gonna be a clutch of white-knights so normalized to YouTube tutorials and fan-made wiki guides that they think it's normal to have to do an hour of research to figure out what well-timed button sequence is required for basic movement. I'd love to, but I can't. The devs locked in on the secret sauce recipe that makes these games so engrossing, left plenty of room for experimentation, and let the physics engine create some genuinely hilarious late-run moments (at least, until the spawn rate and wonky camera turn your screen into an incomprehensible miasma of colors, numbers, and migraines). And, considering we are in an era where rage-games made "frustration" a feature, some people actually want games that make you a bit angry and frustrated and flipping your monitor off while blurting out a series of expletives & caveman gibberish that translates to "I've no idea how I was expected to avoid an elite scorpion spawning directly underneath me". May this game find them and annoy the living night-soil out of them. If I have what I'd qualify as valid complaints, it'd be that the game would benefit from a "quick restart" feature, and possibly some UI tweaks. For example, having the "current gold" & "cost of next chest" UI items on opposite sides of the screen defeats the latter's purpose as a quick-reference. This is not a game that forgives a moment of lost attention. Also, while it's fun to discover stuff in this game for yourself, you WILL eventually need to consult online guidance, because several item descriptions do a terrible job explaining precisely how they work. That one I suspect will get ironed out in future updates, as I have observed the devs are still actively and enthusiastically working on the game. And honestly, that kind of support will ALWAYS get a recommend from me. So, thumbs up for that if nothing else. But I hate this game and I'm probably gonna hate it for at least another several hours. I think it needs to be explicitly said that "addicting" doesn't mean "fun". Ask a cigarette smoker how much fun they're getting out of their habit. I wish I could quit you, Megabonk. Well, most of you. The hoverboard guy can stay. He's pretty rad.

After several months of waiting, the MegaBanger is finally here! I left my wife, my children, my job just for this GOTY 2025. This game inspired me a lot to make my game Vampire Cat. Thanks to Ved and his team for this great game. We will all be waiting for GigaBonk 2026.

Very fun rougelike, dont even send guess buying it.. do it, wont regret it.. Spent 6-7 hours a day playing, its addicting and fun

Idk, this game is simply insane. Addicted af, did all achievements, couldnt stop hearing "Bonking in the forest" theme in my sleep. You can pretty much go (mega) bonkers with broken type builds. The only thing it needs right now is to nerf/remove difficulty/xp tomes so it wont be mandatory in every run, but that goes only for ladder pushing.

This game really came out of nowhere and is probably my GOTY over E33 and BL4 even, just on fun factor alone. It only being $10 is wild. If they update this regularly I could see this being one of the top survivor-likes if not the top.

A disappointingly shallow experience once you get past the front door that fails to learn from its inspirations. -Fails to overcome the issue many roguelikes have where progression and unlocking items becomes more of a punishment than a reward, causing congestion to the pool of available options mid-game as you continue to play. There is, technically, the ability to unlock a feature that can disable items. However, this does not apply to items available at the beginning of the game, which means you will always be punished for adding newer items to a pool with items that you will likely never be using. -Majority of items and weapons are boring, uninspired, and in multiple places poorly balanced. This is not helped by the use of random stats for item leveling. Its something neat in theory, but being at the mercy of rng can lead to runs turning into restart streaks because the weapons you've chosen wasted several levels on stats that contribute poorly such as projectile speed or duration. Melee weapons suffer greatly from the 3d space, failing to reach a point where they can safely clear enemies due to being locked to a single fixed direction in a game where enemies can exist in a space above or below you. Weapons also have a bizarre issue when it comes to choosing targets, with most attacks outside of fixed direction weapons firing indiscriminately. There is an option to choose the closest enemy in proximity, including a goofy "random target" slider, but it either doesn't work or operates not as advertised. -Characters are equally unimpressive in design. Majority of the cast have passives that are single stat increases per level, with only a few having actual mechanical differences such as being able to hover or cause characters to explode on death. Combining these characters with lacklusters weapons and items only further divides what is interesting to play. When the most interesting to actually play character is a skeleton on a skateboard that gets faster the longer he's unharmed, there's a problem. -This brings us to the issue of balance. Currently, even if you're not looking at whatever the meta is for scoreboard hunters, there is a drastic divide when it comes to customizing your build. A sword swing or flurry of slashes, no matter how upgraded, will not come close to the power of a ranged projectile auto seeking a target. A character built to take damage means nothing against building enough damage to wipe the field constantly. Many of the starter tomes (which you can't disable) cannot outcompete raw damage increases when all they do is make a projectile a little faster or give a chance to dodge damage or jump slightly higher. It leads the player to choose the same, more effective, choices every run rather than feel encouraged to play around simply because most runs will quickly end before they begin. -This is not helped by the maps themselves. Currently there are two, the forest and desert. Both involve fighting constant waves of different monsters and interacting with randomly placed objects that give items or perform various gimmicks such as shoving items into a microwave to duplicate other items. During all this, you must access the boss teleporter and defeat the boss before the time limit reaches zero, which causes a horde of enemies to attack the player that drastically increase in stats very quickly. These maps are large, and the forest has segments with varied elevations. These maps fail to mesh well with the game's various elements. Enemies will slide up walls, or drop down on players when they spawn on higher terrain. Most characters start off at movement speeds incapable of traversing well enough to properly explore them. There are also a great deal of environmental props that catch on to player, threatening to doom runs simply because your character couldn't jump just high enough to get over a log. -Bosses and a small minority of enemies also have attacks that are designed with ridiculously accurate predictive targeting at an infinite range. You can be on the other side of the map at high speeds or jumping through the air, and discover that a giant tree has perfectly placed an attack right where you're going to be in the next couple seconds. You'll see in the forums people saying that its a skill issue when it comes to dodging these attacks, but the level of accuracy is downright frustrating to keep up with, and bosses in the desert have attacks that are downright horrendous to deal with. This is all exacerbated by the poor level of scaling which occurs at fixed time intervals. Bosses on the first map with 2k health will suddenly turn into 2m titans on the second. When not attacked by midbosses, which also scale poorly per map, there are swarms that spawn enemies in close proximity to you that basically act as major dps gates unless you have high mobility. I wasn't expecting this to be the next big thing, especially with it being a solo dev, but it was still pretty disappointing how little it was able to meet my expectations. Its a game that should, based on the homework they had available to them, been capable of taking the good parts of their predecessors and improve or build on them. Instead it learns nothing about what was bad, and is overall a bland experience with trailers of gameplay that are empty promises.
