33 of 145 sampled reviews raised it
Halftime Heroes is a Bullet Heaven/Survivors game with some interesting mechanics and customisation across the board.
Characters
Players who bring up Characters mostly praise it.
10 of 145 sampled reviews raised it
This hands-off combat style might feel simplistic at first, but the layering of power-ups, gear modifiers, and class synergies adds surprising depth as each run progresses.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
4 of 145 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay is fluid at a stable 60 FPS, I've had 1 single drop in FPS and it lasted a few seconds, even with hundreds of spells at once on the screen.
