It angers me just looking at it!Īll of this is to say, Post Void is great… if you’re into this kind of game. Post Void is a relatively short game in theory, with just eleven levels to power through, however, it’s also procedurally generated, meaning each run is just as frantic as the last, adding another layer of chaos to an already maddening experience. There’s no memorising your way through this one either. Headshots are the way to go, but lining up such a precise shot feels near impossible when you’ve nary a second to breathe. This game values speed above all else, and there are times when you’ll have to weigh the consequences of pausing to kill more enemies or simply pressing on.ĭue to the incredibly stressful time limit enforced upon you, every move counts. None of this is without its caveats, however. The only way to replenish said juice (I regret my word choice) is to kill every enemy that stands in your way whilst dashing to the end of each level. You cling to an idol that contains your life juice (not quite as disturbing as it sounds) but that juice is quickly draining away. One of the most refreshing things about Post Void is that it’s a very simple game. The visuals come with a warning before you start and it’s definitely needed. It’s a frenetic, exhilarating thrill ride that absolutely scratches that “one more go” itch and its design philosophy ensures that rings true to the end. As an action roguelike shooter, Post Void stands among the best of each of those genres. Be it the gameplay, the visuals, or the price, Post Void is an all-in-one offer that’s hard to beat. Not just because it’s a mighty fine showcase for the genres it inhabits, but because everything about the game coalesces to make it this way. Post Void, I would argue, is the perfect game for a very specific type of gamer. For me, Post Void somehow manages to be both of these things and even now, I struggle to decide exactly how I feel about it. Other times, it’s hard to determine exactly what you feel. Sometimes, you play a game, and everything just clicks.
