Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
40 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
Exophobia is a retro-styled first-person shooter that tries to blend the intensity of old-school corridor combat with the layered exploration of a Metroidvania, and the result is a distinctive hybrid that feels both familiar and surprisingly ambitious.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
23 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
Combat is mostly fast and furious, with new abilities being unlocked as you play.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
But overall, I had a great time, fantastic graphics and a good amount of fun all throughout Exophobia!
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
10 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
For the low asking price I can safely recommend if you want a very basic open world shooter with a decent plot device.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
10 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
I love everything so far, the graphics are great and easy to read even in the middle of a fight, the game is a joy to control (the slide is super satisfying) and it is pretty much a Metroid-like as an FPS.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
8 of 108 sampled reviews raised it
The difficulty feels absolutely right, not too easy, not too hard, and there's even a cool feature (that you can disable) with the map having a limited battery outside of save rooms: better make sure you quickly see where you need to go!
