    Getting straight to it, I love Broodstar. I'm always searching for those rare gems that have near-infinite replayability, and this game has it. No two runs are ever the same (unless you want that, just enter a seed number) and the strategy of mixing and matching modules gives Broodstar so much depth. Want to upgrade your fire rate to insane speeds? Add a homing missile to your secondary weapon slot? Dash through…

    I feel like this game would have been better as a regular shmup. The research tree is incredibly bland (full of 1 and 2% increases to random things). Multiple games I found zero upgrades to my primary weapon so the runs just felt boring
