GEM
Fun game
Game has a lot of potential.
Really wish it was a complete game.
please add sex 👍
High octane and stylish, a very cool game with loads of potential.
Gameplay and visuals are awesome, and the story is ambitious. If you're a fan of action games like what Platinum makes, then you'll enjoy this.
Highly recommend as it's looking competent, despite its flaws, and the devs need/deserve the support.
Funny thing is my name is Nello, but it's pronounced Nelo, so whenever I hear Nelo, I think their really talking to me. (It's hilarious)
OUTSKIRTS LEVEL WON'T COMPLETE
I've played through it several times and yet at what I believe to be the final room, after beating all the enemies I just remain stuck there.
Please fix this, I wanna try out later missions
Aside from those annoyingass technical issues this is a pretty fun game which brings some cool ideas to the table and impresses with its ridiculous speed. I do however have some issues with the field of view on the top down mode to still be too low for it to properly give you an overlook over the battlefield, and enemy fire being seemingly impossible to avoid because of that a lot of the time.
However due to my hardware being "lacking" to say the least I can't give an all too trustworthy assessment of that (was playing at like 15/20fps the majority of the time)
I actually really like this game quite a bit and wanna continue to see it flourish, but judging by how, for at me at least, that bug that makes progress beyond the Outskirts impossible, and how there has been no update in a year, this game seems to be pretty abandoned by its devs, I can't exactly recommend it in its current state
Really hope it eventually gets worked on some more idfk
Just got back to it & I have run into a glitch where after the difficulty select screen it goes back to the intro credits scene. I just want to play the game. atm its way too buggy and the sound design can use some sprucing up. Once it has a massive patching & debugging, I think it'll be a great game.
It's like Warframe and Vanquish had a baby and it's got ADHD, and got addicted to crack at 13.
It's a hot mess and needs work.
I like it.
I've been trying to play this game for about 2 years now, I thought it was weird at first, but because it was still in early access I set it aside and thought I'd come back later. But about 2 years have passed and it feels like nothing has changed. Don't get me wrong, I peek at the patch notes every now and then, and am aware that they are still updating the game. It seems that with time and patience, you will eventually understand how this game works, but for me, all I can honestly say is that this is the Dwarf Fortress of hack and slash games. It is very hard to understand what is going on during combat, enemies move too fast, there are too many of them, there is no visual support to tell who is attacking you and when. Maybe this is all intended to happen, but I cannot tell because the tutorial only tells you basic controls. I run when it tells me to run, I shoot when it tells me to shoot, I punch when it tells me to punch, I try mixing that all up, but I still get ganged up on and die, in the tutorial.
Half baked, full of ideas but a lack of polish.
Still has potential however, getting picked up by a publisher could be what the game needs, as a 2 person team can only do so much
I wanted to like this game from the start. I REALLY wanted to like it. The look is amazing, the feel is unique and the worlds vast and impressive. But its the gameplay that dragged it down.
I am guessing they built the combat to be very intricate, and that may have hurt it. You have a shield that works for about a second to block attacks or lasers. You have a pick up and toss enemies attack but it means you have to remove all 4 of your guns and then re equip them to shoot again. You have very simple weak or heavy attacks and no real combo system. You just sort of mash buttons and hope the problem resolves itself. Keep in mind you have new enemies constantly warping in, and are expected to deal with between 10-30 at a time. If you manage to reach a high enough combo then you can surge and damage enemies in the area. At the same time you have a burst attack that takes EXACTLY the length of time for an enemy to shoot and interrupt you. So you either have to run to a clear spot and hope they dont shoot you, or dont bother using it at all. Your guns don't do much damage compared to melee for some reason. So its expected you are going to just punch for the most part. IF they had made it so you can keep punching and shooting that would have made it better. If they had given your 4 guns AI to shoot enemies so you can deal with punching that would have been fine too. But what happens is you just get tired of mashing buttons and it gets boring fast.
Then you get to run and explore the world a bit. That made me interested in the game again. But then you have to seek out crafting materials to craft keys to open doors. Why not just have the keys lying in spots if your just going to store all the materials in one spot for them anyway? it just adds on more confusion to an already overly complicated game.
But what made me just quit this game was after you get into the game there are big carrier ships that patrol. Not if but WHEN they see you, pray you are near somewhere you can hide from their gaze or not only are you going to have a fight encounter locking you in an area it will rain shots on you so you Have to move if you dont want to get hit. And they patrol the main areas. So its almost impossible to avoid them unless your taking the back alleys and no longer exploring. And if you encounter an enemy it calls she ship. Another lock down. So after moving maybe 10 meters and having had 8 fights the combat is not only boring, you hate it. And thats 60% of the game. But ultimately I finished all the side paths, crafted the key, and lo and behold I need MORE keys to advance the plot. They expected me to search the city while getting constant combat I cant avoid or destroy AND the make my way through it. This is supposed to be a game where you are moving at mach 2 speeds before you have to stop and fight. its very contradictory.
Sorry developers. You killed the fun and the speed with the lock down, and the combat is just a chore. Love the world, hate the gameplay. This is likely why there are also no Youtube walkthroughs beyond the first 2-3 chapters.
The game has been abandoned, and since it'll now be a permanently unfinished game, I have to change my review to "not recommended"
--------------------------------------------------original review------------------------------------------
They promised lightspeed bullet hell, insane character action, and sci-fi DnB vibes.
THEY DELIVER ON ALL OF IT! This is truly the FASTEST game in the world.
No frame issues at all! This game runs better than some AAA games I've played, and its still early access.
Imagine the DOOM guy, a Xenomorph, Masterchief, and 2B had a child spliced together:
Thats how NELO feels as a character.
I admit there's work to be done, and there are some pain points, but they're indie devs
Nelo Early Access review: There is such a thing as too fast
As much as I would like to recommend Nelo, I just cannot in this game's current state.
I enjoy speedy action, but there is such a thing as being too fast. Combat does not feel responsive, it is difficult to tell if your attacks are landing or if you are being hit, and there is no discernible difference between light and heavy attacks as enemies die in about three hits of anything.
The platforming is a bit all over the place, or rather my character is all over the place, because, as mentioned, the game is too fast for its own good. The reason why other spectacle fighters with fast combat such as Nier Automata, Bayonetta, and Zone of the Enders 2 got away with stylish combat with breakneck speeds is because the controls, interface, and enemy interactions were perfectly displayed for the player to know what's going on. Dodging in Nelo, rather than being a quick emergency evade, sends you hurling across the map. Enemies hit you at any moment with ranged weapons that give you no time to dodge or even perceive what happened; part of what makes other character action games like Devil May Cry, Bayonetta, and Neir automata fun is that enemies have "tells" which alert the player when they are going to attack, but the enemies' shots are so erratic and quick that getting hit doesn't feel fair. Enemies also teleport around the arena, making it virtually impossible to keep track of how many enemies you are dealing with and what the best course of action is. I never felt like I accomplished anything whenever I win a combat encounter because I never felt truly in control of my actions, and rather I just pressed light attack and zoomed around the map enough times for the game to say "good job".
It hurts me to not recommend this game because the effort certainly is there, but in its current state, there are still some things that NEED to be ironed out. Bear in mind that going fast is only one factor of what makes character action satisfying, the rest is down to the controls and enemy behaviours, which this game needs to improve. I will continue to keep my eye on it however, and hope that once it's all finished, Nelo may become a character action game on par with the genre staples.
one of the best indie games developed in the world, really ambicious and cunning, it still need polishing but give it time and it will shine brighter than most common triple A's. BUT FOR GODS SAKE MAKE IT HAVE A 1366 X 768 RESOLUTION I CANT PLAY IT PROPERLY AAAAAAAAA
For being in alpha this is impressive. It's hard as hell on higher difficulties, but damn. They sucessfully made a 3d metroidvaina. Top down weapon mode is cool too for certain areas. Music is solid. Love this.
Recommended to me by a co-worker who knows the developers. Super fun game. I love twitch movement and it is pretty easy to get lost in. Just a few suggestions:
Fluid movement: Your melee combos get stopped by dashing, jumping from wall to wall after wall-running is kinda clunky, losing all momentum when running into a wall is kinda janky, and dash and sprint should be two buttons.
UI: It's not bad, but it's no explained at all and has no HUD resize option so it takes up way too much space. Also, I use a PS4 controller and the Xbox button layout makes no sense to me.
Gameplay: Everything is a little dark, but playable. The environments are surprisingly fleshed out for having been made by two people, but it seems like the bossfights (if there are any) are too far and few between.
Blemishes aside, this game gets a solid 8/10. Can't wait to see more work go into it to polish it further
The core mechanics are rich and overall look promising,
but the fact that the ennemies don't actually move is quite unsettling.
Because of this, and the fact that everything is more or less the same dark greyish color while the effects are super bright,
it's hard to tell what's going on during combat.
Cannot recommend it at the moment, although I'll keep an eye on it.
This game is absolutely brilliant! A lot of love from two very devoted people. The speed of the game is astonishing allowing for amazing combat systems that can only get better (especially when you figure out all of the different things you do during melee combat). This game is something I hope gets more popular and can definitely say that it is one of my favourite games ever made!
Edit: So its been a couple years now and I still stand that this is really good and still has the amazing potential sadly updates have indeed stopped, however I have heard the devs are working on the game part time because they ran out of kick starter funds and now have to work part time jobs, so they are not working on it as much but the next update will be the full game apparently.
Great and amazing visual graphics, could use some more fine tuning in tutorial lessons since it seems to be stretched so far and some minor bug issures but it has great potential. Plus the soundtrack is Amazing! honestly fits in with the fast pace movement.
Edit: 3-17-20
The sprint glitch is gone! The game works better than it did last time I played. I even made it to the same spot I was at from a fresh start in one try instead of 50. Then I got stuck in a hole.
Still in development, but still enjoyable. You'll still be paying the developers to continue developing, as opposed to paying for a finished product. But I really like coming back to it every so often, like visiting an old friend that I haven't seen in years.
Revisited: 7/4/18
Edit: This game plays quite well with a controller. I recommend it even more than before if you are into early access games. If you need it to be finished on a schedule, just wait until it's done. If you want to dive in and see what's happening as it grows, buy it and enjoy.
As for gameplay, the ability to react and flow have high emphasis. Platforming, shooting, shielding, meleeing, racing at high speeds, and various combinations of all of those aspects are regular in this game. If you like speed runs, you've found a good game for them. Set your timer and give it a go. The more you play the faster you get.
Difficulty settings are intense. Lowest is a decent regular experience. Second is difficult, but still quite playable. Third you're getting pretty hard. Fourth is too much, but it just so happens there are fifth and sixth options as well for those of you that enjoy punishment. If you want a game that is too hard, put it on the highest settings and suffer a while. If you just want to see what the game is about, the second or third setting will do you fine. I'm sure I'll move up the settings over time just due to the learning curve. So I can't honestly say they are impossible because I haven't actually put enough time in to know what that learning curve enables or fails to enable.
See old review below for more details. My recommendation still stands. Even if you aren't a scaley or however they spell it... It's a fun game.
Old Review:
Nelo is super cool, and I enjoyed every moment I played so far. Be advised it is a small dev and a super early access game, so there is no telling what bugs you will run into. It can go any number of ways as the devs move forward, and if you buy it now you are basically donating to a project with the return of a piece of the game at a time as they finish it. That said, the updates have been regular, the communication has been great, and the game is pretty sweet so far.
Graphics are quite good. The level of detail is enjoyable in the brief moments you have to actually see it in between rains of enemies and bullets and whatever else decided to kill you at that moment. The voice acting is acceptable, and the story is catchy. The sound and music are well done, and the voice to music ratio is balanced.(and customizable) I'm putting a thumbs up for now, with the hopes that the devs keep up the great work.
Also I couldn't resist the mention that scalies will now have new characters to put on their body pillows for those long lonely nights.
This game is both very good and also incredibly shitty.
Ill list the pro's and con's and you can choose whether they warrent a purchase.
Pros
-Its like several genres mixed in 1
-Each plays very well (hold the platforming)
-Soundtrack is incredible
-Gameplay is super tight and can be challenging but becomes so worth it once you get the hang of it
-Certain enviroments are stunning for the fact like 2 people made this
Cons
-The platforming is some of the most infuriating shit I have ever had to deal with
-Some of the controls seem to lag or simply not respond. (this is one of the reasons platforming makes me want to kill myself
-Enemies can sometimes spawn in the sky and instantly do their charge attack on you or start firing and thus getting hit almost unavoidably
-FOR SOME REASON IN THE 'FIRST' AREA YOU CAN GO BACK INTO ROOMS YOU ALREADY CLEARED, TO WHICH THEY LOCK ON YOU AND YOU NEED TO DO THE WHOLE SECTION AGAIN
This game makes me want to keep playing but also refund it.
I have hope that one of these will be removed by the time its fully released
Review of Nelo at Day 1 of release.
From my initial impressions, the game is like a love child between Vanquish and Nier Automata. It comprises of swift paced, bullet hell, hack'n'slash gameplay mechanics.
For me personally, this is one of those scenarios where Steam should introduce a 'Neutral' review option rather than having to choose between 'Yes' or 'No'.
That said, I find myself more leaning towards recommending the title because I am hopeful of the potential it carries if worked upon, perfecting it through an 'open ear' to all constructive criticism made by users.
Some of the issues from my intial playthrough were, clunky controls, lack of a 'lock on' system, no tutorials, deficient instructions, lackluster story ( just about enough to float the boat ), bugs here and there that happen to not be too attrotious and neither achievements nor trading cards included.
Nonetheless the game is extremely fruity, with a variety of different offense stances ( can voluntarily switch from standard 3rd person to a top down designed bullet hell mode to deal with enemies ), flashy graphics, pleasing soundtracks, defining atmosphere, lightning fast movement and 4k compatibility.
Nelo so to speak, is yes indeed half baked, but that doesn't mean its unplayable. The price is justifiable and is at early access ( means it will get updates from time to time and would be improved upon).
Coming from a dev team of merely two individuals is indeed an impressive feat. Supporting them for the game would help them improve upon the quality of it.
Indicated by their site, they too happen to be a couple who are extremely passionate about their game and you know what? This yet still is a better love story than Twlight.
