Im using an iphone 16 pro max ### 3/5 — Solid foundation *2025-12-24, version 1.18* Not a bad find on the app store. Lot of positives, but I do have some minor complaints. Positives: easy to pick up and mess around, good crafting system, easy to unlock multiple game modes to try everything. Complaints: crafting EXP is going to take way too long to reach even the second or third tier of rarity let alone the fourth rarity, sometimes game modes show that they count toward a daily task and they don't, sometimes enemies just won't be targeted even though they're the only one on the screen, the search function isn't bad but I'd love multiple filters like element and rarity simultaneously. Otherwise, solid foundation of a game. With a little polish, will happily change this to 4-5 stars. ### 3/5 — Too busy *2025-08-07, version 1.18* Honestly, the interface is just too busy for me. If you like games that have unique names and systems then this is right up your alley; don’t expect your hand to be held. It’s just not for me. ### 3/5 — Crafting *2025-07-09, version 1.18* So, in order to craft things, everything is locked behind level requirements. To craft a ‘commonly dropped item’ requires level 10! And the only way I have found to increase the crafting level is to scrap casters… and they only give small amounts of crafting xp. Is there an issue in the game? Or is it not explained better? ### 5/5 — Nice little game *2025-06-24, version 1.18* Concept and atmosphere are really cool. Lots to figure out and discover. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2025-06-23, version 1.18* I love upgrades and bullet hells and odd eldritch twists to stuff, but a lack of real explanation to anything really puts a cramp in the style of this. Plays well, explains nothing and makes it a bit too tough to really enjoy in the beginning. ### 4/5 — It’s great and has potential. *2025-06-15, version 1.18* Loving the game. There’s some things that I believe aren’t working properly like when trying to put in a new implant, replacing the current one, it will destroy the currently equipped one but will also destroy the one I try to put in. It’s happened multiple times now. Another issue I’ve had is with a totem where I’ll try and use it and it will not prock. There’s a skill that reduces cooldown based on either kills or visions in area (can’t remember) but it looks like it adds on to the current cooldown making it take longer. Just three things I’ve run into. Great game so far! ### 5/5 — Mature Euphoria *2025-06-13, version 1.18* Mind blowing, delayed review multiple times with a grin for hours ### 2/5 — Cant play *2025-05-22, version 1.18* No enemies and the load out page repeatedly closes automatically. ### 5/5 — Unique and fun *2025-05-12* I play a million of these types of games. So nice to have something new and refreshing! Great game so far ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — game does not work *2026-01-20, version 1.18* game literally does not work. You can not play. All of the reviews are bots. ### 1/5 — Bugged *2026-01-15, version 1.18* I literally can’t play, I am able to go out of bounds, the squids don’t move, I don’t fire anything, my loadout on the main screen exits the second I click it, and if I take damage once I can’t take damage again. Literally nothing happens over the course of 10 minutes. There is no way to get a caster without spending money. It looks fun but I am unable to play it and won’t until things are fixed. ### 1/5 — Ai slop *2025-10-10, version 1.18* This is clearly ai vibe coded slop, it didnt even function ### 1/5 — Unplayable slop *2025-09-11, version 1.18* Every single positive review you see for this game is a bot, you can’t actually play this game, sure you can load in, move your little guy around, look at the enemies, but for a vampire survivors clone you can’t even shoot. This game says it a rouge lite meaning each time you “fight” you get stronger right? Not with this one because you can’t fight to begin with. Looter though? No fighting means no loot, so it’s this cycle of loading the first level, waiting 5 minutes while nothing happens, and then an infinite enraged state where more enemies spawn, but don’t do anything. And shooter, you have no loadout when you start, you cannot open the loadout menu, you have nothing in your inventory, you cannot shoot, you cannot loot, you cannot roguelite. ### 1/5 — 0 stars release a working game please *2025-08-17, version 1.18* Kindof stupid that a game can hit the market without working once so ever. On the first level and like someone had previously said no enemies are spawning i tried to delete and redownload and still nothing ### 1/5 — *Not free to play* *2025-07-31, version 1.18* Clearly states free to play in the description, although you have to purchase 3.99$ stimulant to activate a loadout. Not sure if it’s a bug but it looks deceptive that you write free but then have to pay2play. Need to fix that or be clear. ### 1/5 — Game doesn’t work *2025-06-30, version 1.18* I’m trying to play but no monsters spawn. Waited 5 minutes and it went to enrage mode but the monsters that spawned just stayed in place and didn’t even dmg me. How’s the first level completely broken? Saw a comment about adjusting loadouts and I can’t even get the menu to stay open. The moment I open Loadouts it closes so I can’t even look at it. ### 1/5 — Absolutely nothing *2025-06-27, version 1.18* So, here’s something fun: I can’t shoot, I can’t lose health, I can’t do any of the things this game promises! There’s absolutely no way to save my score, get items, anything! ### 1/5 — I wish it worked. *2025-06-22, version 1.18* Similar to other reviews, the game just doesn’t work for me. The loadout screen closes as soon as I open it, but in the moment I get to have it open, there appear to be no casters, which I would imagine are what I use to kill the visions. I try to play, but no visions spawn for quite some time, leaving me alone to wander the screen. Traveling into the red circles doesn’t damage me, which I’m thinking maybe it’s supposed to, and after several minutes, visions finally spawn at the edges of the red circle area just to sit still. Floating into one does 100 damage and seemingly gives me permanent I-frames, because I can’t be damaged again. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling as suggested by other reviews, but all that did was wipe my trade screen, so now even if I wanted to spend money to make this game work by buying some in-game currency and getting a caster, that isn’t even an option. This seems like a game I’d like, and if you can make it work, I’ll gladly return. But right now it is unplayable. ### 1/5 — Not able to play *2025-05-22, version 1.18* I can’t even play the game, I go in, my guy just sits there and nothing happens, try to open loadout menu and it auto closes, check my inventory it’s empty, go to shop and there’s nothing, it seems like it could be fun, but for now I literally cannot play it ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Overall good *2026-03-21, version 1.22* Quite sad there is no online access or any leaderboards But I love it ### 5/5 — Wild *2026-01-20, version 1.18* Cool game ### 5/5 — Unique and inventive *2025-08-25, version 1.18* I wish there was more community. Also there is a blade bug that crashes ### 5/5 — KEEP DEVELOPING THIS! *2025-08-18, version 1.18* I been looking for fundamentally different takes on the “bullet heaven”/survivor genre. This is one of them. The UI and UX combined with the lack of simple explanation for… anything… make it feel cold and alien. I really dig it, and it feels thoroughly unique. I _love_ just how different the game plays from others in the genre; there’s nothing close to it that I’ve found, and this excites me. Its onboarding process is a bit “0-to-60-in-10-seconds”, which I’m pleased with because I like From Software games, but it might be frustrating for the broader demographic of people. But man, I really really dig this game; I hope you guys keep developing this. You should be proud of what you’ve created. … Will this be developed further, like additional content? I have a loadout of Cosmics and Unreals and nothing can stop me. Excited for more! ### 5/5 — Awesome Find!! *2025-08-14, version 1.18* I’m so glad I came across this game! It’s a little confusing at first but you pick it up fast. ℒℴѵℯ The graphics and gameplay mechanics! I hope that there are more levels or expansions to come later! I did find one bug where if you’re playing with a blade loadout the game will randomly crash but other than that very stable and extremely addictive!! 🩵😈 ### 5/5 — KEEP DEVELOPING THIS! *2025-08-12* I been looking for fundamentally different takes on the “bullet heaven”/survivor genre.

You should be proud of what you’ve created. ### 5/5 — Old School Goodness *2025-07-04, version 1.18* Hellamental is like a classic PS1 RPG that you can play for hours and weeks and months, exploring how far you can go in an infinite dungeon. You have a team of five hallucinatory monsters that either shoot, drop bombs, or cast effects like slowness. You alternate between them manually. You can obtain new monsters as loot or by crafting them, and equip them, or sell them to other players in a marketplace. I enjoy this game like a sequel to “Lowlife”. Runs hot on my phone, so would’ve been great as a lower resolution pixel art game. ### 5/5 — Lots of potential *2025-07-03, version 1.18* Think it has a lot of potential to shake up a space that is popular right now. While adding its own features and still offering a game I can play on the go, and offline if needed. On top of all of that it’s free, and in app purchases are not required to enjoy the game. ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-07-01, version 1.18* My own opinion you need to up the advertising for the game ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2025-06-27, version 1.18* Really enjoying it🙂 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
