Blazing Beaks

I feel like this game is super well balanced for an indie rougelike, also it is very addictive, the more artifacts you get the more loot you get, and that makes you want them more, which makes more runs end, absolutely genius. Only bad thing I have to say about the game is that the controls in menus feel weird(can't use mouse)

very cool pixe game i love it

I played the game for a while now and I like it for the push your luck aspect you have with the items. How many debuffs can you take to the next shop to get more loot for it? Thats the main selling point of the game.
Unfortunetly there is not a lot of enemy variety on the same floors, but I never made it very far.

But I dont understand why some people give a review after just an hour of play or less. You will not understand the game if you don't play a moment. Buy it on sale (at the moment) if you are not sure.

Weak gameplay

better than roblox

its pretty good

bulet hell temasını anlıyorumda düşmanın içine spawn olup dungeon'a girer girmez ölünce hiç bir anlamı yok. beş para etmez bir oyun.

The gameplay is pretty good

but the visibility of some of the green enemies is low because they blend in with the background
and each stage has only one boss which gets boring after a while

Wicked fun game. First purchased Blazing Beaks on the Switch, after a while I was at the point where I could consistently loop, and had several runs under my belt where I looped over 30 times. I mentioned Blazing Beaks to a coworker, and we looked it up on Steam. When my coworker purchased the game, I decided to buy it here as well (it was available at a very reasonable price), and I've enjoyed the Steam version even more, given the Steam Workshop integration! I highly recommend Blazing Beaks.

Cool roguelike, but short, many items give debuffs, characters from the community workshop are too strong.

It's pretty fun solo, albeit very hard and super random.

Where it really shines is in in Co-op mode. There are much more options for optimizing builds and strategy there, and many ways a run can go.

Recommended for hardcore Roguelike players, or to anyone that has the chance to play it co-op!

realy good game very hard to beat but all and all good game

Local co-op is awesome

A really cool concept, but has too much working against your investment in a run.

If you aren't aware, the big thing this game has to offer is a risk management system in a run. The "artifacts" you pick up are actively harmful and increase your risk level. Rack up a ton of risk and make it to the shop where you can cash in all the bad artifacts for a lootbox of random helpful passive items. It's got a lot of potential but the game is a bit too brutal for its own good.

Pros:
- Risk management system has you picking your poison and pushing your skills to the limit for a (potential) big payoff
- Really interesting variety of items and artifacts
- cute art
- difficult
- quick runs?

Cons:
- Coins seem kind of useless? The main use seems to be for buying other guns in the shop, but many are lackluster. If you like your gun, coins don't seem to do much for you. Also buying a gun completely replaces your current gun, so it's not like it affords you some flexibility
- Everything is excessively RNG-heavy. Loot drops, artifacts, and cashouts. this normally isn't a problem for me but in this game it's just a buzzkill. You can survive a gauntlet of levels with 6 risk, meaning you've been playing with something like your gun having a chance to not fire, no ability to heal, reduced move speed, and shooting an enemy causes bombs to fly at you, and the reward can be a payout of items that DO NOT HELP AT ALL.
- 0 power fantasy. Your character starts out very weak and the main "power spikes" of this game seem to be just getting rid of artifacts to return to your base kit. From what I've seen the actual rewards rarely compare to the benefit of just not having artifacts.

Ultimately the game undermines your agency as a player and is more interested in ruining your day than presenting you with a fun challenge. The levels are filled with too much danger and not enough of a reward. I'm pretty shocked with how many times i've revisited this game that steam says I've only given it 3 hours. I guess it's the opposite of "time flies when you are having fun?"

I would love to see this game's most interesting mechanic explored in a different, more fun game. Even just having some choice via rerolls or whatever to get different rewards for your risk would make this game so much better. As is, I don't think it's worth another 10 minutes of my time.

pretty good top down shooter

this game makes me extremely mad but i like to play it when i'm bored

beaks

It's just Nuclear Throne but made for 2-player co-op and that's amazing. The curse system for gaining artifacts is engaging and creates unique experiences between teammates. Just PLEASE let us play 4-player co-op with Steam Remote Play. I AM BEGGING YOU. I want to trick my Steam friends into picking up the ghost leaf!
p.s. ignore my play time. I have this game on Switch where I have like 40 hours but bought it on Steam to support the devs

Fun Game

Verry good game, love it start to end, lots of fun challanges and quirks 10/10 would recomend

very yummy 10/10

It is addictive, I've been playing on the switch for years and needed it on pc just to make a custom birb.

Blazing Beaks is a funny action game where you play as a cute duck and shoot enemies. The pixels graphics are great and the ambiant is really funny. I recommend it!!! 💚🦆💚

Nice fast paced Nuclear Throne alike.

The only issue is that the controls feel off; for both KB+M and controller schemes. The game should also allow player-centric aiming for the KB+M. For the controller, the aim-assist should be more reliable as it isn't so even at 100% aiming assist.

Verdict: Mixed, but slightly leaning toward not recommended due to controls.

This is not a bad game... Can be quite enjoyable too......... And very, very, very frustrating lol. I mean... It's all luck based anyway, whatcha expect?

I was wondering where this "PVP" comes from and then realized that it all depends on whom you co-op with. You see, there are "cursed artifacts" in the game and if you get the right ones, you can seriously hurt the other player. So if you ever wanted to play like a butthole... You now can! (Back to solo for you!)

You need said "cursed artifacts" to get good ones. But uh... Some of them have seriously bad side effects: that black cube (I think) will literally insta kill you. Aha. Okay. Guess it goes towards being a "burden/butthole" to your co-op buddy.

Anyway, the birds are all cute, the game play can be interesting and the soundtrack is pretty good!

The problem is with............ Apart from luck.............. Is if you co-op. Unless both of you are SUPER coordinated and have the same thought/brain and take same actions... One of you will have to carry the other. And through later stages? Phew boy!

Although we never looped once (that's reaching the end), there were still fun times. Weapons especially: the Void Gun, the one that unleashes a bunch of Saw Blades (Cally's Caves anyone?) and The bouncy ball one.

Hey and listen, if you get lucky? Like really, really lucky? You might have one hell of a good time with this one. *Might* Heh heh.

Still thank you and thank you to my co-op buddy for all that you had to suffer through and all the rage you had to bear with. ^^"

:D :>

A bunch of the guns flatly suck to play with, so much so that the only runs that are at all enjoyable are those where the player lucks into one of the game's few fun firearms. There's a hundred better roguelikes on Steam, don't waste your time with this one.

Boop! Gets a bit repetitive if you mod yourself a strong character, so dont do that, other than that, LOVE IT

perfect balance between fun and difficulty
great modding community too

The game forces you take debuffs so you can gain powerups and while you can negate them with a shop room, sometimes a shop won't spawn for the entire floor and you will have to fight the boss with every debuff you have.

Its a lot of fun really, but the game heavily relies on rng, makes me wish i listened to the negative reviews.

Always loved the music of this game and it's replayability is also great

the pinnacle of human intelligence. destiny has led us to create this gem. this is the reason we were made

To bad this game got abandoned, but good game with clever mechanics.

ok

quite nice

this Bird has a Gum 🔫 in its wig,

||----------| [0/10] Not fun!

Silly bird, silly gun. I love this game.

It's fun, but there´s no story or characters with any personality. Best with friends, but probably easier alone.

Crazy good, but frustrating sometimes lmao

the beaks are blazing.

Great game with lots of replayability.
