SNKRX

The game is cool, the units are diverse and synergies are interesting.

Then you reach NG+ and realise none of that matters anymore. There's a limited set of viable units and even then sometimes the elite will just run straight into you deleting half your units and your counterplay was to just play a different game. Beyond NG+2 you are paper and the enemy is fire, there is no playing around it unless you always build warriors which makes you wonder why the other synergies exist beyond the near mandatory gold generation of mercenary.

When it comes to items the stark contrast of 'ranger arrows have a 10/20/30% chance to seek and pierce 1/2/3 times' compared to 'when a voider dies deal its DoT damage to all enemies for 3 seconds' feels awful. Why does one group get consistent damage and the other only gets value when dead? So many items are way too restrictive and will not have any synergy with your current units, quite often forcing you to pay the mandatory 5 gold tax in the hopes of finding something not complete garbage.

As others have also mentioned the dev has expressed posted his marbles to anywhere but here so run away, save yourself and play a better game. The pain isn't worth it.

It's very, fun and the music absolutely slaps but one thing is the difficulty was more punishing than I expected, some people love that but I didn't the most at the time ( part of why I don't have the most time playing the game). Saying that it's overall a great game with an amazing soundtrack.

game was fun until i tried to alt-tab out and it crashed my whole ass computer lol. also the other reviews are not lying the dev is a little unhinged

Visually pleasing, fun, lots of replay value, great value for money. I would be nice if it had built in controller support, but it works just fine with steam controller support so it's not a huge problem. I think that persistent progress would help the game a lot.

snaek

FIRE game

Is fun

Underdeveloped Abandoned game. Really neat concept but you see what all the game has to offer within the first 2 hours of playtime. If it was more furbished and the developer wasnt MIA this would be a positive review and I wouldnt have refunded the game. Great concept, bad execution.

Not my type of game. This is Snake x a roguelike, but taken down a level to the point where it's just a roguelike lol. I guess this is worth the price for when you like these types of games, but otherwise, not that much. Still slightly fun though!

There are two things you need to know

1.
an absolute banger of Immune system simulator
builder + swarmer build made me feel like a mother in current economy
cool achievements


2.
mages are absolutely and utterly garbage if you don't know how to read
I had difficulty reading some of the text because it glitches out of the f screen

Simple, easy to play but challenging enough to be fun. A game you can put down after 15-20 minutes. When you don't have a lot of time but you really just need to play a game, this is a good one to play.

Google snake if it was actually good.

Minimal instructions were initially befuddling, but it was actually fun to figure out the subtleties of control and snake design. Very satisfying to build a nice overpowered snake with stacking abilities and items.

It's a fun little game and for the price of a mobile game? Absolutely the sufficient content to match. Solid replay-ability through testing different builds and strategies.

This game is a really nice simple roguelike but for some reason text scaling is completely broken for me and I cannot find a way to fix it permanently so reading any of the text is really difficult. I don't know if this is a common problem so I'd still heavily recommend it 😊😊😊😊
I Had Just Written This Review And Opened The Game And I No Longer Have The Problem No Idea What Was Causing It.

bought because i said in a discord server "say, what if there was a game like slither.io but with roguelike mechanics and you could build your snake out of synergizing segments?" and was recommended this.
a truly underdeveloped, unbalanced and all around flawed game. all luck, no skill. unclear UI that i only started to understand almost 7 hours in. the core gameplay of fighting enemies is unsatisfying and unfair due to controls that do not facilitate the game design. or perhaps the other way round? who bloody knows.
Please do not buy this game, there are other games similar to it that are more worth your time IMO, the closest thing is Brotato and despite not having the snake gimmick thats practically a benefit since the snake gimmick is this games biggest fumble

SNKRX is a rougelite arcade game in which the goal is to complete 25 waves of enemies without losing all of your units. You play a crew of various classes that move around a play area like a snake, with only two keys for movement, and no way to stop your movement. This system gets very complex very fast as your enemies are tiny colorful pill-shaped creatures with a variety of powers that demand you think on your feet. You'll find yourself having to figure out how you'll approach enemies and what you'll do if a hero falls in combat. Typical strategy is to pick off enemies from afar with one or two Ranger classes, though you can always build a team of Forcers and breach through enemy lines and throwing them across the room. I personally have gotten a lot of mileage out of using Zoner classes like the Sage and the Psykino to disrupt enemy movement and hit them with psy orbs floating around the snake, similar to a challenge run in Binding of Issac. Heroes have a set number of hit points and cooldown on their powers, and losing enough HP boots them out of your snake, You get any fallen heroes back after every stage, as well as a shop to spend money you've earned on upgrades and new heroes. You get a maximum of 7 heroes, and not all of them are guaranteed to synergize well with each other, so making money decisions with whether to hold your cash or reroll the shop could make the difference between a winning run or a quick run.

this game feels like something fresh off the itch.io griddle, like, this is an idea of a game. Not a game. despite the updates it's gotten it feels like the dev just polished a demo. I feel like the game should straight up be free? dev is also not working on it anymore, so in its current state i gotta say just skip this one.

p.s. the youtubers will enjoy it more than you because they get paid for it xD

A 8 out of 10 game.

Easy and fun to play through like Balatro in many ways, at less than 20% of the price. The sound-effects are also cute and equally pleasing in that same vein.

Upgrades at the shop, along with re-rolls happen after every round, and any/every round/level lasts no longer than 30 seconds, thus turn-arounds and pivots at the shop happen in pretty quick succession, multiple times a minute from the get-go, allowing you to quickly build/draft your set of fighters from something or nothing at any point during a run. After about every 5 levels or so you also get to choose 1 global enhancement for all the respective fighters you've collected. It's that simple along with boss encounters and minimalistic controls, with practically no learning curve.

There's no b***s***'n with tutorials or any story line before you start. It takes less than a minute to directly jump into the game after purchasing.

Everything is there in front of you, short and sweetly after that; ready for your 'full attention' & low-friction neuron-activating enjoyment with a steady, unbroken stream of combat and rogue-like choice-making gameplay.

A simple game where you build your snake from segments that all have their own "class." Activate powerful class bonuses by having enough of the same type. It's a neat little game with tank controls which feels kinda weird at first but you get used to it.

I love playin' with my SNKRX!

I've put a good 40 hours into this game. Its just fun. Its 3 bucks. Get it. Its mindless fun, cool mechanics. I wish it would open up to the workshop or the creator would make another game one with more heroes. Very fun overall.

Always come back to it, great game to have a few rounds on when youre burnt out on other games.

It's a fun game for fun gamers.

Amazing game creative heros and items that make you feel incredibly powerful yet somehow maintain balance

And so much variety that sometimes your actually happy when you die because it means you get to try a new build

wiggle wiggle

phenomenally done game with a simple concept. It is absolutely worth 3 dollars. Took me a while to beat NG+5 (new game) since I was being stubborn but I just decided to do the easy win route, which is a warrior build.

By the end of it you can only play one or two builds by NG+4 to consistently win. So if you only want to play builds you enjoy just stick to difficulties before that.

this game is like if they took risk of rain 2 and then extracted the part after you start looping where you just kill everything and get unlimited infinite dopamine. it fuckin rules

Considering how much this game costs, it is extremely fun. If you are playing this game I recommend going for the achievements as it makes the game a bit more challenging and engaging to play. The synergies between the items and classes are well done and the 'boss' fights can actually be pretty difficult sometimes.

é os guri

awesome upgrade to the original snake game we all know and love.

I 100% completed it and i don't regret it definitely a good time waster and
exciting when going for achievements or even new game+

music is amazing to i feel zoned in would play all over again 10 snakes out of 10

this game makes me see shapes when i close my eyes

no

An amazingly addictive game, great for when you want to pass some time; build possibilities are extensive, NG+ opens up for new possibilities and the more you explore the more you'll be wowed by the options. Considering the price, this is a MUST BUY if you like roguelikes!

its a quirky little rougelike, great value stuff even if your not on a budget

SNKRX

This is probably one of the best small rouge type games I have ever played. It's simple, easy to understand, and overall super easy to have fun playing. The combinations of classes and their types makes for a really fun experience that allowed me truly enjoy the little time I sometimes had on my computer. I got a solid 48 hours out of this $3 game, and that is a serious WIN for me. Like most people, I stopped playing this game due to the developers decision to stop updating it, which I understand. Personally, I really do not think that the lack of development is a good reason to not purchase this game. Trust me, its good.

In case the developer sees this

This is a rare game for me, and it is sad that the developer has decided to not update it. But whats even more tragic is that (as far as I understand), the developer has no plans on creating games in the future. There is so much potential in this kind of small project, and I can respect if he just lost passion for game development. However, if the decision to stop creating games is solely on his worry of overdeveloping, I really pray that he decides to make more. Get some testers (willing volunteer right here), experiment, fail the experiment, and make a solid game for people looking for these kind of gems.

Enjoy

I don't get the absurd amount of complaints this game gets.... Its cheap, has a simple mechanic (Snake with combat).
Games are not forever, this game is complete and fun for the price point. Development has stopped and that is ok, devs are not beholden to eternal updates.

Grab the game, have 5+ hours of fun gameplay, go eat something and that is it.

for the price, snkrx offers an insane amount of content... I'm amazed at how much it achieves with minimalism and simple art style

Good, made by a small dev, very fun to play

Can get frustrating because the game isn't well-balanced in some aspects, I find it very fun though. I missed the game a bit when I finally got everything done. The soundtrack is an absolute bop.

You get what you pay for. It's good for a few plays.

It's a really solid (short) roguelike; the best feature is the NG+ mechanic that allows you one extra length to your snake for every run won, which allows you to make more combinations

It's fine. Starts off fun. But in 5 hours of 30 minute runs, I have won many, but had 0 builds really come together. I play for critters, get zero passives. I play for merchants, get zero of their passives. I play for warriors, get zero of their passives. Usually roguelites lean towards giving you gear you can use vaguely. Not here. The visual style is simple, and so it the RNG. Great minimalism that looks clean, but plays quite boring after a short while.

SNKRX was a fun game while it was being developed. Although the depth of mechanics is somewhat lacking, figuring out the puzzle of what works and what doesn't was compelling. Unfortunately the developer abandoned the game in early 2022 and in its current state the game is not worth the purchase. The developer does not seem likely to produce games in the future, which is a real shame.

fun time waster type of game with amazing soundtrack and som pretty cool synergies to make.
the shop system is very similar to autochess games so if youre familiar with them you should have no difficulty getting into this game

this game looks simple but it has no tutorial and the symbols on the classes and their synergies are very unclear. i don't want to read a wiki before i can enjoy this game :/

forgot i bought this

The orange enemies are really annoying and overpowered and one shot for no reason. Very, very obnoxious. I want to build a build and I get none of the classes I want because they are so rare, which is annoying. This game also just needs a workshop so it doesn't get stale, its legit made for that kind of thing, but doesn't have one???

Update: Sadly I learned the dev doesn't give a shit about this game and is letting it die off I guess over NFTs. Kinda sucks. It really sucks getting one shot by nonsense like the hard to see mines or the hard to see orange enemies, really ruins the experience when one of my units dies from something I can't see due to all the visual clutter.

All and all, game feels like a prototype. Just not enough to keep me playing IMO, really generic and has gotten stale for me, mainly due to the fact I can't go other builds because of the rarity of certain body segments and how builds like the sorcerer get one shot by the orange enemies.

This game does one thing, and it does it really well. A master class in how different classes can make themes of units, which synergise with each other to make for cool outcomes. I recommend it to anyone interested in game design, or anyone who wants to have fun for $2.

Great little game well worth it.
