I received this game via Steam Curator Connect. Thanks!I'm no stranger to roguelike bullet hells and Void Raiders is no exception. Void Raiders is a mix between Nuclear Throne (a game I have reviewed in the past ) and Risk of Rain, both of which are games that I deeply enjoy.Void Raiders is a top down pixel art bullet hell and the graphics are decent. The levels are really well done, the environment is nice and the lighting is great. Unfortunately, you won't have time to enjoy the scenery due to the hordes of enemies shooting you. The enemies look nice and, depending on the map you are on, change in accordance to the theme (Alien, Human, Robotic). The three playable characters however aren't nearly as well done as the levels or aliens, which is unfortunate because they are the centerpiece of the game.The audio department of Void Raiders is mediocre to say the least. Certain tracks are pretty good although most are mediocre at best. The theme of the music does fit the overall theme of the game and does sound like it belongs in a futuristic spaceship. If you enjoy heavy Drum and Bass electronic music, then perhaps you'd enjoy the soundtrack for Void Raiders, however it just isn't my cup of tea.I actually had quite a bit of fun playing Void Raiders. Like I mentioned earlier, I enjoy bullet hell rogue like games such as Nuclear Throne, Risk of Rain and Realm of the Mad God, so Void Raiders is no exception. However I found the three playable characters; Tina, Boris and Gudrun, to be quite lacking. During my runs in the game, I almost exclusively played as Gudrun, the only good character out of the three. Boris is mediocre and Tina is absoultely atrocious to play as. On the other hand, I really enjoy the permanent progression you gain by playing a character more so there is incentive to maining a character.Before I move on, Void Raiders does not have a Tutorial and it took me a while to really figure most things out. Luckily, I have played my fair share of Nuclear Throne so my first couple runs were decent. If you're new to the genre, be warned as the game drops you in the middle of numerous enemies and chances are you'd be dead before you knew it.Sadly, there is no storyline to Void Raiders. Honestly, it's a shame because the game can be perfectly set up for a decent story if the developers had just written exposition. There are 3 characters who are all completely different who could have interesting backstories and every few levels there are bosses who could provide exposition as to where you are, why you are there and what your goal is. Unfortunately, none of that exists.In the end I enjoyed my time playing Void Raiders. If you're going into the game expecting the Holy Grail love-child between Nuclear Throne and Risk of Rain, you'll be disappointed. However, if you're looking for a cheap and fun alternative to the aforementioned games then look no further than Void Raiders.Rating:Graphics: 6.5/10Audio: 6.0/10Gameplay: 7.2/10Storyline: N/AOverall: 6.6/10
