A promising gritty roguelite shooter
Make It Count is a post-apocalyptic, top-down shooter developed by Sky Games. Designed for 1-3 players, it combines roguelite elements with cooperative gameplay, challenging players to survive in a world overrun by zombies. It also has a free demo for players to try.
Make It Count offers a promising blend of roguelite mechanics and cooperative shooting in a gritty, post-apocalyptic setting. Its continued development and community support help it evolve into a standout title in its genre. Moreover, the different paths of each run make it fun, filled with action and strategic gameplay.
A zombie roguelite with familiar gameplay
Make It Count emphasizes strategic resource management, particularly regarding ammunition. While ammo isn't scarce, players must use it judiciously, often resorting to melee combat to conserve bullets. Each mission features randomized routes, ensuring varied experiences across playthroughs. A notable feature is the "fog of war" mechanic, limiting player visibility and heightening tension during exploration. Players can return to a hub to upgrade weapons, enhance character abilities, and customize their base.
The roguelite structure, with its randomized missions and variety of trinkets, provides a degree of replayability. However, the current lack of extensive content and limited player feedback indicates that the game's longevity may depend on future updates and community engagement. While the game's concept is compelling, some players have reported performance issues, particularly on controllers, which limit the devices you can play on.
The visuals in the game are dark and dire yet readable while delivering a gritty feeling. Gun selection and customization are also fun and accurate, delivering a good strategic experience and fun for gun enthusiasts. The graphics are also simple and clean which allows it to run on most devices, but it can also be too simple for some players.
A promising start with undead potential
Make It Count offers a gritty, engaging roguelite shooter experience with satisfying co-op gameplay and strategic depth. Its fog-of-war mechanic, randomized missions, and weapon upgrades add tension and replayability. Though still in early development, it shows strong potential if supported with more content and polish. With community involvement and performance tuning, it could rise as a standout indie title in the zombie roguelite genre.
