Black Future '88 Reviews
The novelty of the 80's throwback aesthetics makes Black Future '88 worthy of a purchase, if not also for the fact that it is the best shooter I have played in 2019.
By focusing the game around risky play and speedrunning, SUPERSCARYSNAKES has made Black Future ’88 one of the most exciting and best-designed roguelikes to release in a long time.
There’s so much to Black Future ’88 that makes it more than just a typical roguelike. Each run presents new challenges and different items at the player’s disposal, but the game does a bad job of explaining its features to the player.
GOOD - Stunning visuals and a rapid-fire gaming experience give Black Future ’88 a distinct edge in the roguelike genre.
The gameplay is good and the music is fantastic, but the lack of variety and a failure to really stand out among the stiff competition hamstrings Black Future ‘88.
