EDIT: Please read the comments in the review for further context. This game is quite an enigma. The game itself, is alright. Considering the description and store page is completely redacted, I will provide my own paraphrasing what the game entails below. You control a droid that's armed with a unique "socket" system so that they can manipulate different elemental spells to eliminate physical manifestations of despair. To do this, you delve into people's minds and survive through waves of enemies in an action-2d roguelike state, powering up your spells by inserting different elements into spell sockets so that you make up spells to completely dispatch enemies. This is a really cool concept, that's also been explored in the previous games made by Lunar Penguin Media. While I mention it being a cool concept, execution-wise, the game kind of stumbles a bit. Considering that the game has been taken out of early access, I must therefore review it as a "completed product". It is very per...

About This Game
Though Angel Droid's development is incomplete, the game is still enjoyable to play as an experiment borne of passion and wonder. The game has been priced at 99¢ because that is the lowest price that can be listed on Steam without making the game completely free. I, the developer, never cared about the money. I don't want this game to show up on free game playlists. This game was not meant to be played by the masses. This game was meant to serve as a love letter to all the devs, musicians, and artists I respect (albeit being incomplete and quirky in the game's current state).
No popular game was created by one person.
This game is no exception, but it comes pretty close to being completed by a one-man-army. With the exception of the Angel Droid's concept art, and the 3D model of the Angel Droid, everything seen, heard, & coded into Angel Droid was created by one person. Angel Droid was developed in 10 months, and the development was halted because I found out my wife was pregnant.
Luna, if you're reading this Steam page, I love you, and I cannot express how excited I am now that you're finally here. You probably won't have fun playing Angel Droid when you're a teenager, however I hope Angel Droid shows you how much fun I had developing video games before you became my ultimate pride and joy.

The game has potential, but the scalings don't line up very well. The music and backgrounds are cool, and the enemies can be interesting, but there are some issues. You literally cannot play the game when starting Fire, because the starting enemies all have resistance to it. None of the attacks feel very satisfying, and all of the scalings feel just okay at best. I recommend speeding up animations, giving attacks more oomph, and not being afraid of the player getting too powerful over time. The ability to change crystals would also be cool, and is already balanced by the fact that if you swap out 9 fire with 1 water, you still pay for it. There's a lot else I could say, but I don't want to just drone on, and I really think this is a good first draft of a game with some potential under the hood. The game feels like a first project, which is fine, I simply recommend the dev take some examples from other games in the genre. Risk of Rain, Hades, and Nova Drift come to mind as good example...
The only thing good about this game is its music
