“Very addictive and fun, like a less gory/disturbing Binfing of Isaac mixed with classic NES shmup vibes. DUNKEY YA DONE IT AGAIN”

“the first bullet hell game that I actually like and isn't made exclusively for hardcore fans of the genre”
“if you like shmups you gotta play this game. It's a great bullet hell shmup rougelike with fluid combat that just feels great to play. Can be very difficult but in the bullet hell genre I'll say its on the easier side…”
“Imagine if Enter the Gungeon had more consistence and handled like a dream! With all the quality of life aspects that should come standard. For example boss fight replays, multiple game modes, and challenges. If you…”

“Any roguelike bullet hell is always going to have a tough time impressing me because I have to ask "Why not play Gungeon instead?" Fortunately, Star of Providence is one of the few that had a compelling answer.…”

“I keep coming back to Star of Providence. The sheer variety of bosses and ennemies in there, the cool megaman soundtracks, the slick controls. This is a well baked pie!”
“I've put many hours into this game and I still can't get enough of it. The movement is super snappy and the combat feels fair. You get a ton of cool weapons and builds to mess around with, and even when you die, you…”

“Extremely similar formula to Enter the Gungeon, so it has all the same flaws and just doesn't have the same replayability that I've come to expect in more modern roguelites. Does do the gameplay much better than EtG and…”

“Step 1.- Design, program and bugfix dozens of different weapons with varied modifiers and attributes for variety Step 2.- Give them extremely limited ammo so the player never gets to use them Can you guys stop doing…”
“Really cool fast paced bullethell with great music and a good aesthetic. Not to deep in terms of mechanics and nothing ill ever be very good at probably… But i did make it past level 5!”

“The things this game expects you to do to defeat its final final final final boss is absurd and for absolute sickos. Unfortunately, I think I'm one of those sickos. This game is hard. Like HARD HARD. I don't think I've played something that not just expects, but demands this…”
— a player, Steam review · 42 hrs played“The best way to describe this game is a mix between Enter the Gungeon (a game that I love) and an arcade shmup (I genre that I suck at). The first hours playing was the typical roguelite experience, learning by dying. But after a while I reached a point where the game demanded…”
