A tightly designed, fast-paced, top-down roguelite, Synthetik will no doubt entertain for hours. With the release of the new Legion Rising free update, there’s even more to enjoy.

This shooter is a pretty good surprise, since it adds some unexpected tactic elements to the gameplay to offer an interesting and not-so-arcade experience.

Anyone who gets a kick out of rogue-lite gameplay, who’s not afraid of a challenge, and who digs sci-fi shooters may find serious satisfaction within the first few minutes.

Fun rougelite that is challenging, but not as rewarding as others in its genre. Perhaps I'm just not good enough to beat it on the recommended difficulty. Has the issue of RNG making or breaking a run, and often times getting one-shot by an enemy that's only just entered the screen. Fun, overall, but can be frustrating.

Things I Like: - The mechanics of the game are not only sound but also sets it apart from all the other top-down shooters on the market today - The gunplay is one of the best in the industry - The gameplay is top-tier - The sound design and music are very good - The game has a pretty good sense of progression Things I dislike - No Full-Screen Borderless Windowed Mode Conclusion: This game is critically underrated and deserves way more attention.

Gripping top-down combat with a retro feel. Better shared with friends, just wish it could be more than one.

Gunplay, upgrades, classes, artstyle, bossfights and a lot more. There is a lot to return for in Synthetik. It's masterful execution of a roguelite with tactical elements. Highly recommended to all fans of the genre or people who like experiencing all kinds of games.

A smartly designed Twinstick Roguelite with tactical gameplay, fun classes, motivating meta progression and an awesome weapons system. I'd give it a 9, but that 1-point review from a user who gave Dishonored 2 a 1, Dark Souls II a 2, Hollow Knight a 4 and The Witness a 4 needs to be countered.

Долго не мог определиться между 7 и 8, но тут скорее 7. Первое впечатление - сложное, второе - увлекательно, третье - как то однообразно.

the Worst game ever! - Boring graphics, sound. - Awkward UI and weapons, items... - Why they separate the reloading action into 2 parts, eject ammo clip and reload. Stupid idea.
SummarySYNTHETIK is an unforgiving shooter rogue-lite in a world overrun by machines. Battle from floor to floor, defeat relentless robotic forces, experience the next level in gun-play and shape your own experience by experimenting with powerful items and modifiers. Can you defeat the Heart of Armageddon?
