Anomaly President

For those of you wondering what kind of a game this is, It's inbetween Rocket League and Dark Souls. Or not idk good game tho.

Fixes all of the gameplay issues I had when playing Anomaly Agent. I was having a lot of fun playing this when the early access end of game notifier ruined my night. So far, an absolute blast and one of my favorite roguelikes so far, pretty even to dead cells. I also like the little story bits that appear when playing a level over again, gives good replay value to the levels. Right now it's an 8/10 with potential for higher in full release. Definitely keep your ear out for full access

What's the most important thing of rogue-lite game genre? Players plays the same few levels, so it is easier to develop and game provides a longer playthrough when compared to a linear video game. Bruh, really??? I literally don't care how developers develop their game. I just look at the product as a gamer. The most important thing of rogue-lite genre is GAME CYCLE. Because of rogue-lite games have the "new run -> die -> new run" cycle, each run has to give brand new fresh gameplay. Or else each run gets instantly boring. Unfortunately, Anomaly President is one of them and gets more boring after each run. So, we should ask: How can each run feel unique and why Anomaly President don't have it? A rogue-lite game should be able to let players to try different builds. In Anomaly President, each run you make almost the same build. You can choose different anomaly power-ups but they are just visual not functional. Also each run you play the same mini-games. Fortunately, they are optional but you have to play them to gain resources. Elemental power system of the game is not good. They just increase the damage and change visual, not effective. There are lot of weapon types but difference is just range, damage, speed, posture damage etc. They don't affect the playthrough that much, they just change stats. I can say that character building system is a little problematic to be fixed. Anomaly President is more fit for few enemy quantity because Anomaly President uses parry system. When enemies are crowded and with the power-up animations and the elemental colours, the battles become chaotic and you can't parry them all. Enemy variety is sufficient for this game. Boss fights are very enjoyable but you fight exactly the same bosses in each run. There is no boss variety. Game's name is president but it's not focused on being a president. It is just a game about saving your dad from bad guys. Story is told by dialogues and dialogue choices does not affect the story. Also there is no lore of the game. I can say animations are quite good. Enemy animations, weapon and character animations are quite good. But when you execute an enemy, character uses katana executing animation although you are not equipped katana. It might be fixed already. Music are not bad. Game has cute elements and gore elements mixed that is quite confusing. All things said but this is an early access review, many things can be changed in the game and many things can be added. I said many negative elements but that does not mean I didn't enjoy the game. On the contrary, I really enjoyed the game. Thank you Phew Phew Games. However, I played many great games from rogue-lite genre but Anomaly President is not one of the great ones in its genre and game bored me at some point. Anomaly President could be a lot better game if it was a linear game like the first game. Game needs a proper president story and dialogue options should affect something. But it is still a solid good game though.
