Polygod is a rogue-like, randomly generated, single & multiplayer FPS with a brutal difficulty curve!
Blending a fast-paced, Quake-esque feel with randomness, difficulty and our handcrafted power-up system, Polygod is a hardcore gamer and speedrunner's dream. Only the most skilled and strategic players will defeat the Trial of the Gods.
You are a Faceless One: a one-armed, gun-wielding assassin of legend. The seven deities of Polygod will test your skill with randomly generated arenas of hostile minions, followed by a boss fight against a ruthless Holy Champion.
Each of the arenas features five Altars of Worship, offering you Blessings in exchange for Souls you have collected along your journey. Blessings combine and stack to create unique gun effects, but each has consequences, so choose wisely if you wish to survive each wicked challenge. And don’t forget, death is permanent in this purgatory of the gods!
The art style is inspired by the meta-physical surrealist artist Giorgio de Chirico who is famously revered for his eerie mood and strange artificiality of cityscapes.
Main Features
- A UNIQUE, RANDOMLY GENERATED EXPERIENCE EVERY TIME. Randomise the levels, blessings offered and enemy placement with our seed system, or challenge others on specific seeds! Polygod offers full leaderboard support using a universal daily seed.
- GUN CUSTOMISATION WITH 100 UNIQUE BLESSINGS. Each seed will offer you a different selection of blessings as you progress through the levels. Strategically combine and stack them to fit your personal playstyle. Ever wondered what it would be like if your bullets were bubbles? Well, what if they were bubbles AND proximity mines? And you shot 3 of them at once? AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT? The options are endless! Do you choose a lethal sniper build, or a bullet wall of death? How will you survive: lifesteal, jump-strafe dodging, tank-like health? How do you want to navigate the environment: double jump, helicopter boots, teleportation?
Additional Features
- Online co-op
- Splitscreen co-op
- Versus multiplayer
- Integrated controller support
- 35 unique enemies
- 15 unlockable playable characters
- 7 epic boss fights against Holy Champions

I have a love/hate relationship with Poiygod. It's a frustrating game, fraught with balance issues: not just in the way certain Blessings stack and the seeming expectation that the player will make use of these in a way such that the bosses are beatable, but also in some of the smaller enemies' design. It's possible to buy a blessing that ends your run instantly, because it decreased your maximum hit points below zero (why is this even an option)?
The combat itself is clunky: you can circle strafe around enemies trying to hit them in a sort of chaotic melee dance; the low Polygon count makes it an experience unlike most others.
Despite all this, I am nearing 20 hours of playtime; I've gotten my dollars' worth from this title. It is engrossing, and engaging.
I like this game. Sure, it has flaws, some of which are really big. The gameplay is fun, and that's all I need. Fun rouge-like, sad to realize that the developers/publishers went under. Would recommend if it were for sale.
Decent FPS roguelike. For how low it's priced I can confidently recommend it, though you do get what you pay for. For example, i had a combination of blessings (upgrades to your starting gun) that rendered me unable to defeat a certain boss, and it does get a little same-y after a while. However, it does feel great when you get a completely overpowered and insane combination of blessings.
i want more of this game. i truely hope there will be updates in the future and new content, i truely am in love with this game, x.x
super unique shooter, haven't had this much fun with an indie game in a long long time. the goofy dreamlike environments and enemies is super refreshing instead of the usual demon or humanoid looking enemies, and the gun modifier system works great at keeping gameplay fresh. very fun, very customizable to what you want, very worth the price
Polygod promises a "fast-paced, Quake-esque feel" but instead delivers on a simplistic, methodical, repetitive experience: it's easy to avoid being hit by simply not standing still; rewards shooting enemies from far away (who won't even bother to react); enemies are either too easy or too insanely hard; procedural generation is limited even for a single level (let alone multiple playthroughs); power-ups aren't interesting and don't make me want to play to unlock content.
Cool game concept but Polygod does not deliver. There is a bug where your gun won't fire some of the time and sometimes it will randomly lock up and fire forever. If you're looking for a FPS that doesn't even do "click left mouse button to fire" right, Polygod is the one for you.
I've played many versions of this game and to watch the development and progress that the developers have maade up until release has been impressive. Polygod is a FPS rogue-like shooter in which levels are randomised and agility is key. If this sounds interesting to you , then this is definitley a must have addition to your steam library and your completed games checklist!
[Early Access title, things stated here are subject to change]
[No review score will be given, this is merely a discussion about a few main points]
Polygod is the closest we've gotten to an FPS roguelite that has variety in the runs. Most FPS roguelites seem to either focus on solid gunplay instead of variety, or they try to have variety but fall short. Unfortunately, instead of sacraficing variety for gunplay, Polygod does the opposite, and gets rid of good gunplay for decent run variety. The gunplay is at the very least passable, but some issues I will state later end up making it worse. And when I say decent run variety, I mean that it has some difference in runs, but isn't an Isaac level of variety.
I don't think this genre will ever hit that perfect middle mark of getting solid gunplay and great run variety. You kind of have to pick and choose what you would rather have. This game focuses on the run variety, other games (ie Strafe) go for the gunplay. I know that the reason for this is because of technical issues / difficulties, but it is kind of sad.
One of the things I like in this is the open ended level generation. It isn't room-based like most roguelites are, each level is a medium sized open area (sometimes less open with some maze-like paths), which is something that feels fresh, and makes the moment to moment gameplay not feel too stuttered.
That's not to say there is some issues with it though. In fact, Polygod has one major flaw, and that is you can cheese the heck out of the game. Due to the level generation being more open, you can shoot nearly every enemy in the map from a large distance away, which means that you aren't in much danger if you choose to play like this. That fact alone can completely ruin the game. The way I play, I try to not cheese it, and play the way the developers intended you to play, which is the only reason I'm able to enjoy it as much as I do. If you can force yourself to not "cheat", then it's enjoyable.
Enemies are varied, and each area has it's own set of baddies. Most of them are oriented around bullet hell, throwing tens of bullets your way. I do not have much of an issue with the enemies in Polygod, I think most of them are fun to fight off and are well made. The big issue is that around 4-5 levels in, you notice that the enemy health scales faster than your damage, making the enemies become a bit tanky and annoying to deal with. Luckily, you don't have to full clear a level to succeed.
I have not tried multiplayer yet, so I have no comment there. But just make sure you buy this game for the roguelite parts, not for the multiplayer. Based on what I've heard, it has some issues that need to be patched up. Also there is not really a community here, so take that into account as well.
EDIT: changing review to positive for very obvious reasons, but leaving everything written here unchanged.
Incredibly buggy mess. Had multiple bugs that either immediately ended my run or simply wouldn't let me proceed. I also get noticeable input latency despite having 200+ fps. Received 5 random blessings and I suppose they don't run a check against multiple health reducing blessings and it instantly killed me without warning! Another example: Took Imbued Blessing, bullets cost 1 hp, landing shots restores 2. Went to fight Chad, and my bullet's simply didn't heal me! The bugs, and the input latency really ruin the game for me. I feel as if the game COULD be a lot of fun, but for a game that has been in Early Access for over a year, I would just save your $10.
Multiplayer was region locked because it uses Unity servers so unfortunately I couldn't experience multiplayer with overseas friends at all. I did contact the devs, and found that I could play with other people in the US, just not my overseas pals. Its EA so I can't give too much shit, but for a massively multiplayer update I was let down on that component entirely, and was the reason of purchase.
The other issue I have is the projectile amount, with certain loadouts the amount of particles are computer demolishing and there is no hard limit it seems to how many you can acquire. 2x, 3x, 4x 5x bullets, with more bullets that trail, that split into three, that have subsonic waves. The amount of projectiles and performance of them is really obnoxiously bad and left for some really awkward balance by my longest playthrough to the final boss.
The entire screen was filled to the brim and I could clear the entire map with 5-10fps destroying my CPU @ 4.7ghz on an i7. Definitely needs some balancing/tuning/performance work because for a rougelite fps the balance wasn't there at all it felt like, you either went mega-clear with high damage or you didn't.
I'd say wait a bit until it gets polished up, but avoid if you are looking for long-distance coop as its pretty much built in to not work, or show games half the time, and I'm not the only person who dropped into the Discord to check if the damn thing would work.
VERY enjoyable game... just needs a bit more substance and variety to it, maybe more levels and bosses as well!
i found this game to be on par with HEAVY BULLETS but this is a much better play
A little gem of a game that has already been improved so much since release. The developer is active and dedicated to regular updates, as well as being open and receptive to community feedback. All this game needs is to keep expanding the content and improving the overall experience, and it could become basically a cleaner, more colorful FPS version of Binding of Isaac.
Also, Brontes is the best NPC character <3
Wow have I had fun playing this game, I now shall tell the pros and cons
Pros-
Regular updates
Devs are active in community
Tons of blessings
Tons of synergies to find
Lots of unlockables and achievements
5 levels and bosses
Postgame mode
Tons of content
Nice learning curve
And tons more...
Now for the
Cons-
Impossibly hard to queue up online pvp
Some bosses and enemies seem too unfair
Lore seems quick and lazy
Please make enemies smarter (it seems like you just made some enemies shoot a crap ton of bullets just to make up for this)
While I would normally say all of its bugs bear in mind that it is in early access so its not boasting a bug free experience
So all in all I would give this game a 9/10 and I would obligate the creator to make online multiplayer be it pvp or co op to please focus on it along with bugs please make a server list.
I want to like this game. I really, REALLY do. It has potential to be a fairly decent addition to anyone's library. But at the moment (2/10/2017) I just can't recommend Polygod. Let's talk about why.
The good
-Interesting "blessing" system where you purchase buffs to change your weapon in unique ways.
-The buffs can interact with each other, similar to The Binding of Isaac.
-Rewards high skilled players.
-Decent amount of content for a game at it's stage.
-Multiple characters to unlock and play.
The bad
-Certain buffs have massive problems with each other.
-Buffs are not explained well at times, making you expect one thing and end up with something much worse.
-While levels are randomly generated, everything in each level looks and feels exactly the same.
-Enemy variety is very poor.
-Why can we get on the top of the walls in the Garden of Gaia? Seriously, it feels unintentional but it's so easy there's no way it's an accident.
-The bosses are difficult beyond the point where they should be, and in a way that can be easily exploited with one or two buffs. And no, before you say it, I'm not just being a little bitch. Bullet sponges are not fun. Running around a sphere hoping you can run fast enough for 5 minutes trying to avoid infinite rockets is not fun. Trying to hit the first boss, which can fly incredibly quickly (and there can be more than one) with bullets that have a really, really slow travel time IS NOT FUN.
-Specific buffs take away any form of challenge to the point where if I don't have one or two of around 7 buffs by the first boss (OUT OF 75) I just start over, while the rest of the buffs are either weak, useless, way too expensive, or detrimental.
-Those fucking blue shrooms. Just....just no. That explosion radius is not okay.
-While some of the characters are interesting, it feels like the developer just thought up some random shit without thinking of deeper lore and slapped it in. There's just no depth.
-Some enemies have extremely annoying attacks.
-Lots of glitches, which is a weaker point as the game is in early acces.
-Enemy pathfinding is awful.
-Never found a multiplayer server.
-I'm not even going to say it has a tough difficulty curve because everything depends on your buffs. Sometimes you just get screwed.
-Every time you die you have to go back to the title screen (unless you want to play the same map over and over again which kind of ruins the point of a randomly generated game) and walk through a small hallway to actually get to the gameplay. Which sounds like I'm just nit picking, but when death is fairly common it should be a very quick wait to get back into the action.
-Some enemies are far too difficult for how soon you can encounter them.
-Sound effects are somewhat poor, but not awful.
-Going through the later levels just evolves to you standing on a high point and sniping everything you can see until you reach the boss.
-Boss fights are one of 3 things. You destroying them in 20 seconds, a long and painful fight that lasts 15 minutes, or them shitting on you because you didn't get anything good.
If someone asked me if I could recommend a game where the pro-to-con ratio was roughly 1:4, it would be absolutely not. So here we are. Ultimately, this game needs a major balance fix, more enemies, and a better UI before it should even be considered by anyone, even those who can appreciate a tough learning curve. However, should these issues be fixed Polygod will be a good game, perhaps even a great one. Keep an eye on this game, and be patient for the day when it is improved.
Final note, if I am incorrect or you have a differing opinion (or just want to bitch at me) please comment so I can edit this post.
Great fun! Good procedural maps and enjoyable bullet-hell style gameplay. Extremely challenging as well. Great variety of enemies, bosses and environments.
Main gripe however, is the AI. Needs work at this current state. Enemies often get stuck behind walls and seem to have no idea how to properly traverse the arenas. Hopefully that gets fixed soon. Also, a bit of balancing would be welcome in my opinion. The enemies on mission 2 are a fun balance, but by mission 3 they become bullet-sponges. It's quite odd to have such tiny enemies take a ridiculous amount of bullets! Combine that with some of their wild behaviours and it makes for some slightly frustrating gameplay.
I know I've mostly listed cons, but overall the pros far outweigh them. It's great to hop on and blast away at many weird and wonderful enemies and bosses. Definitely worth picking up!
This game is quite honestly the most immersive FPS I've ever player, and I've even played CS:GO, so that's really saying something. Even still, however, I am obliged to list a couple of cons at this point since I'm stating the pros as well. Let's start with the many, many good things about this game.
Pros:
-Unique upgrade system called 'blessings'
-Bosses (dubbed Holy Champions) are very fun to fight
-Many different playable characters you can unlock
-More than 4 worlds to explore
-The same amount of Holy Champions as there are worlds
-"Boss Blessings" that give you unique abilities only unlockable or aquirable after beating a Holy Champion
-A varitey of enemies to utterly obliterate...or skip a few of them, I don't know, do what you want
-A brutal - AND I MEAN BRUTAL - difficulty curve (This can be a pro OR a con depending on if you like a challenge)
-And so much more that I can't even list it all!
Now, on to the cons...or rather, scarcity of cons:
-There is a severe shortage of multiplayer servers to join
-Those floating orb things in the Garden of Gaia that have turrets on all sides of them are the BANE OF MY EXISTENCE!!!
-It takes too much time to unlock something in the altars of Death (or whatever they're called)
-If you play Faceless the Feeble, you're going to have a BAD TIME ( https://memegenerator.net/instance/74060432 )
That's it!
If I had to rate this game on a scale of 1-10, I'd rate it a 9/10. This game is flat-out amazing and almost no cons exist in it. There are a few annoying things in it, however, and a couple of glitches I would like to report: If you use the Laser Shots boss blessing or the Dragon's Breath boss blessing before the next room of rest, it will say the cooldown's over, but you won't be able to use it at all, and for some reason when I used the Random Swop with nothing but Fall Boots, the effect of the Fall Boots lingered for a while afterward. Oh, and, I fell through the world one or two times. The creator might wanna fix that, but it doesn't happen often at all. That's all I have to say, and I wish you good luck on achieving godhood, my friends! :)
I'm just posting a quick positive "review" because the game only has like 10 reviews at the time I'm posting this.
This game is something else and that something else is awesome! The gameplay is really fast and easy to jump right into. You have one gun that you upgrade throughout a run and you can come out having some pretty crazy combos. You can also upgrade yourself with passive buffs or even more health. It can get pretty crazy at times because everything is moving so fast but the chaos is part of the fun. The game does have permadeath so if you die you start from the beginning. It is in Early Access but the dev seems pretty diligent about completing and making the game better.
So yeah I recommend this one for sure! :)
I have just purchased this game and my weekend is now totally accounted for. Initially it was the design and graphics that sucked me in, then the music, but as I got a little deeper an entire universe opened up. Something unique, mysterious and other worldly. This is not your indie-industry-standard run of the mill FPS rogue-like. Hardly! The layers, the narratiive, the design, the music, the power-ups, all come together to deliver a mind bending, brutally challenging, fun game. If you are looking for a truly immersive, addictive, unique gameplay (with multiplayer) then here it is. Pure genius all round. Truly Godly. Amen!
I had the privilege of playing this game a lot before it came into Early Access, including at a convention with the developers. Upon Early Access release, I was offered a free copy but refused, it deserved my money.
Roguelikes typically struggle to find the right equilibrium between hard and easy. Polygod manages to find this centre excellently, allowing it to be accessible while still challenging.
A great FPS and roguelike.
I appreciate the actions these Devs took for their collaboration gift support they did with BoI. Genius part on theirs! Support these Devs and this is a great start of a game as well!
I've not played too much into the game, but this style and gameplay is what I'm going for. I've played 1000s of hours on Binding of Isaac between PC, Vita, and PS4. I absolutely love these styles of random generated dungeon crawling rogues. This one give a bit of the fast pace feel that binding has. For this price I'd recommend a buy. Hopefully they will be adding more features and creatures.
Just beat the first boss!! Very hard but very rewarding game, sometimes it can be frustrating but its got this way of drawing you in with all the curious things you'll find next time you play! If you like that feeling after beating a hard boss fight I recommend this game.
