The Bullet Hell Of Isaac: Deathstate
Deathstate: Abyssal Edition - contact@rockpapershotgun.com (Adam Smith)

Deathstate [official site] is dangerous. Set in and around Miskatonic University’s library, it’s part Binding of Isaac and part bullet hell shooter. As anyone who’s ever tried to check a flesh-bound tome out of the stacks at Miskatonic can tell you, the areas ‘in and around’ the library include several shuddering dimensions folding onto our own reality. You’ll move through them, controlling your chosen character with a single stick while they automatically launch magicks at any monstrous sorts that approach. It’s packed with unlocks that have delicious flavour text and it’s a dangerous game because I want to spend all day playing it and that is not what today is for.
