(Build 16621194 Update added)
Impale monsters with magic spikes in this 90s-inspired arena shooter! Impaler is challenging, rewards movement, and each run feels different thanks to rogue-like elements. Overcome the increasingly difficult hordes of monsters by upgrading your weapons & abilities. Impaler has a retro art style, a great soundtrack, and a custom engine for extra smooth frame rates. It’s perfect for the Steam Deck and has full controller support. Impaler is easy to play but difficult to master!
Overall, you can unlock everything pretty fast. Movement is fast, and snappy, and using the spikes to sort of “rocket jump,” we’ll use lightly, is a nice mechanic on top of, obviously, skewering enemies for health drops. The soundtrack is awesome, and honestly, we wish there were more songs just because the composer absolutely destroyed it, we couldn’t stop talking about the music when we were streaming it.
our only real complaint with the game so far is that it’s a really easy game. we are no FPS veterans but we’ve played a good bit of shooters in my day, and there’s not a whole lot of challenge to be found, especially with the final boss which we actually found to be easier than the previous few waves. Personally, we’d love to see more content to the game, we’d totally be down to buy some DLC, but again, for $3, we can’t really complain.
Pros of Impaler:
- A custom engine made in pure C + OpenGL. No bloat.
- Dynamic lighting and fog
- Soft particles and volumetric effects
