“This game really makes you FEEL like a chad 18th century doctor who kills pirates with his bros and gets superpowers from listening to phonk music.”
“I have genuinely played worse games this year from triple-A studios. Worse still, none of them included Dr. Livesey.”
“Imagine a Russian DOOM bootleg but it' actually kind of decent despite being a TikTok meme game. Worth the $0.50 I spent, I guess.”

“2D action game in which you control Dr. Livesey and his companions as they battle their enemies ✅The only thing I liked was the variety of soundtracks, which were quite dynamic ❌The gameplay is very repetitive and there…”
“Ummm... I have no idea what I just played, I have no idea about the cartoon this game orignates from, I barely know the meme and I'm not even Russian so I can't even understand it. What I do know, this is a meme game…”
“unironically one of the best roguelikes out there on the market, got this on sale for $0.65, yeah def underpaid for this absolute peak game. Soundtrack goes hard, the beat mapping is top tier and most importantly easy…”

“Terrible game in every possible way, apparently the art is only good because it comes from a public domain source material. I have played so many better free games. The game doesn't even have sound effects or item…”

“Half of the screen is covered by Dr. Livesey's character model and the other half is covered by the smoke and projectiles from your weapons, making it almost impossible to see anything happening. 10/10”
— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“I paid $0.65 for this and can hands down say without a doubt, this is the best $0.65 I have spent in the last few months. Best game ever. (Played 8 minutes tbf but still genuinely fun)”
— a player, Steam review · 0 hrs played“Expected shovelware, and some crappy platformer. Got a super brain rot boomer shooter, bullet hell type thing all in one and not really unique, but different than anything I played.
