Roguelite - where too much greediness can be fatal. A colorful world with armed birds blazing their way through piles of mutants, monsters and creepy creatures. Lots of mysteries to unravel, secrets to discover and levels to explore.

No online multiplayer on a game that highly encourages multiplayer and versus? who even thought that was a good idea?

I literally only bought it to play with my friends who live far but now i discover i can't play with then because the game doesn't have actual multiplayer.
Reading some more i discovered that not even modding allows multiplayer, nor ir can be played through steam remote play unless all but one of the player have game controllers. Horrible

Wow, this game is such a fun game to play with friends, it also has “Remote play together” which means you can even play with friends far away, now to the point, the reason I recommend this game is because it’s a great rogue like game, you can play the story with your friends and you can even PVP, there’s also some fun things and interesting concepts in this game and I highly recommend you try this out, I’ve been playing this with my cousins and friends and it’s been so fun and a great time!

I hate how bad I am at it.

Good game, I'll beat it eventually, I'm sure :3

The Artifact system that this game has is very unique and special, it's in my opinion what makes the game fun. Artstyle is cute and the game offers a challenge. However I felt like content was missing from the game. For example you are always fighting the same bosses (the only choice that you have is between the desert and red mountain). The store is empty and the world of Blazing Beaks feels dead. In games like Enter the gungeon there are plenty of NPC's that give you either quests or mini games during your runs. There is an attempt of that here but it's poorly executed. I had fun playing it was great but it's a shame how much wasted potential this game has

A joy to play - the sound design is amazing, the visuals are gorgeous and the limitless possibilities for each run just bring me back every time. Lots of challenges to try, love the risk-reward system, and whilst RNG can be infuriating at times it just makes it all the more gratifying when you overcome it. Intend to play a lot more, love it

I like this game a lot. It is basically nuclear throne, but infinite fps and you play as birbs. The game has a lot of potential, for improvement, but it is still definitely worth a shot. I just wish the devs added more bosses and secret stages.

Honestly, I can't recommend this game. While the aesthetics and the vibes of the game are pretty neat, the game itself is unbalanced and frustrating. The damage enemies deal is over the top and all the items are just stat improvement, nothing game changing.

cool mechanic, gameplay is good, but the game is way too unforgiving. getting killed by random bs is incredibly frustrating. characters have too little hp and enemies hit too hard for even early levels. the main mechanic, picking up debuffs and trading them in for buffs later, is a great idea, but the trade stations are too far apart. its not worth it to grab any debuffs after the first boss because you might not be able to get rid of it for 5-6 levels.

This is one of the most unexpectedly good indie games I've come across, I picked it up on my nintendo switch after a friend suggested it, I thought I would play it for an hour and then get bored, Well now I have 65 hours in the game on switch and still haven't unlocked everything, And I'm happy to be able to play on pc now.

Blazing beaks blazed breaks through the peak of the beak with beautiful action, as you bombastically blaze through bountiful levels, braving brilliant obstacles and barriers alike. 15/10 would blaze through blazing beaks again.

Wish it had online multiplayer, kinda wished I checked before i bought it. Kinda gonna sit dead in my friends and I's gamelist dead till it does. Love the game, has great potential. But is a computer game that encourages 4 player, and DOESN'T have online? All my Mutuals/friends live in different states, how am I supposed to play with them? Remote play sucks man, it lags to all hell.

this game is not popular enough. I love the artstyle especially, and the gameplay is challenging, with much trial and error, but still remains very fun.

Dreaming Prince
Dreaming Prince

well.. uuh.. its just more annoying than fun. you start out with like 2-4 HP and theres traps and acid pools all over the place so you can die real fast and half the time all the enemies just kill themselves.. the default character is kinda useless, his gun has like 2 meter range, but the chicken PC can just snipe all the enemies from anywhere so why would i play any of the others? Game seem to work well tho and i got it on sale with 75% off, id say at that price its mabye worth it.

The motivation for this review is mostly that i just died from the 2nd boss, he's rolling around like a billiard ball, bouncing off walls. So you'd think the angle he hits the wall is gonna decide where he rolls next? Well, do you?? LOL NOPE f"#¤! physics ima just bounce the wrong way and roll over the player this one time haha BRRRRR

Also, like others have menitioned, the upgrade system where you have to gimp yourself all the time to (mabye) get anything is also kinda annoying, to put it mildly. Got the one that makes you unable to shoot for 7 sec alot.. and the one that makes you invisible for 4 sec, so they kinda cancel eachother out while you have to stand around and wait it out on every little screen.. real fun. I tried buying a new weapon a few times, you can have only one, and theres 3 to choose from in the shops, but you cant fire in the shop and you cant go back so theres no way to test it except just buying one and leaving the rest. And everytime i got a worse weapon than i started out with.. what?

The title song is kinda groovy tho.

do not be fooled by the artstyle, this game is just as hard as other rogue like shooters (yes, I'm talking about the gungeon). have most of my hours on coop games on friends machines and confidently say that it's casual fun game with a lot of replayability for those tryhards among us :)

the game is fun but needs way more polish the damage that certain enemies do is insanely garbage and you will usualy die in one hit the second you get to the second area. the artifacts value is super out of whack an artifact that takes all you coins away permenantly gives less than half of an artefact that takes all bushes away. the characters are barely different and there is such a lack of actual guns and abillities their are like ten guns in total that yo can get before you get to like the fourth are where you get no coins to get said weapons its a decent way to distract yourself for an hour or two bt not worth the price tag and should be in early access.

If you are interested in this game go check out enter the gungeon instead. Etg has around 5 times more items and after you beat etg there is so much more to do. In blazing beaks once you beat it, you just do the same thing over again but more difficult. ETG has secret floors, a variety of unlockable guns/characters and fun modes. The challenge modes in blazing beaks don't seem very fun to me. While the modes in Etg are a great way to spice up the game. Etg also is more detailed with curse, coolness and other things to watch out for. Blazing beaks doesn't have anything like that. Another major flaw in this game is that you cant have an ability and a dash. I would have used the active item however I stuck to the dash since most of the active items don't work on bosses. I think if the dash didn't count as an active ability the other active items would be used more. So basically what im saying is you shouldnt waste your time on this game and just go play enter the gungeon.

There is a lot of upside to this game, but I have to leave a negative review since steam allows for no 'mixed' and I'm bored after 5 hours so there's that.

This game screams for having mods and being more open to customizing things more and unleashing more possibilities. They do allow for custom characters, though.

The main problem is this game does balance and scale poorly. It is way too easy to die in the first few stages because of the extremely low starting health pool. But it is also almost difficult TO die at the end as your character gets overpowered. If I beat the 2nd boss it is rare that I don't go on to win the run.

If this game had more difficulty settings, that would be good. The stages are also very small so strong weapons are important so you can urgently clear a section so it is safe to stand in.

The core mechanic of picking up BAD items temporarily to trade them in later at a shop for GOOD permanent upgrades is really nice and a commendable idea to balance risk/reward. But the game doesn't inspire enough the rest of the way. The tiny levels, if double in size, would feel less cheap if you die. Only ever really die due to ghosts or tight quarters.

It is kinda-sorta fun, but that doesn't cut it for long term play.

I really like this game and have had a lot of fun with it so far. Though it can get a bit repetitive at times, the characters are all unique enough and the selection of guns large enough for it to feel like a new experience if you play a bit differently. Overall, I think that the price range is fair as this is a very cute but also challenging dungeon crawler style game.

I love this game, it has a really small player base and community but almost everyone who gets it likes it, just like me. It's interesting and fun to play.

Little roguelike, shooter that offers couch coop up to 2 people. Main meta gameplay loop is collecting negative-effect passives (called Artifacts) that you trade in at shops for Items that give positive effects.

-10 Beak-related characters that are all very distinct and enjoyable. [penguin is the cutest :3]
~15 Abilities, active items that give u temp benefits on cooldown.
-60 Weapons ranging from amazing to comically bad.
~80 Artifacts
~80 Items

Managing your horrible combinations of Artifacts. while crawling to shops in attempt to make your perfect build, is very fun and keeps each run feeling unique. Would recommend. :D

It's an OK game, but there are better twin stick shooters with loot and repeat mechanics.

ASTROCHRONIC

Cute aesthetic. Best I can say about it. Unforgivingly difficult with little to no reward. Gimmick is that all drops are cursed relics with only penalty effects, that you collect and then trade at the shops for good items. But none of these are that interesting and good luck even getting to a shop. You get two actions. Your attack and your special. With the one character I bothered with, your special is a dash move. So if you like having a dash move, you have to sacrifice it for any other special ability you might find. LAME AF. Your movement is too fast and sloppy making it very difficult to maneuver around the constant acid puddles that appear from about half the enemies and take forever to disappear... Looked fun, but looks can be deceiving.

Insane amounts of visual clutter make this impossibly frustrating to play.

In the heat of fast-paced battle I really can't tell which green puddles would hurt me and which are safe to step on. EVERYTHING is animated - pickups, artifacts, keys, coins, hearts, corpses, background details and much more. It is so god damn difficult to keep track of what actually presents danger and what is just a visual non-solid prop. No video settings to reduce this either.

I can't even judge how fun or balanced this game is because the first five seconds after entering any level is just pure chaos in which I may or may not get unexpectedly hit by something I assumed to be a non-threat. Honestly there's hardly any distinction between "active enemy" and "part of map detail" or "corpse". This sucks.

Oh and this comes from someone who actually 100%'ed Nuclear Throne. I was hyped for this game but no, no thanks.

This could be an amazing game (It's already fine, I suppose), but it's severely lacking in content, ESPECIALLY for the price. This could be partially amended if mods were capable of adding new content other than only characters.

The art style is amazing, the gameplay is fun and not mundane and repetitive as some other games of the same genre and the weapons and enemies are well made too. As far as the music goes i didn't quite like it but still enjoyed it. Great co-op game i recommend it.

One of the best rogue-lite games I've played, up there with Nuclear Throne and Enter the Gungeon. The game has a very interesting and fresh mechanic, where you collect negative passive disadvantages, to exchange them into positive ones later. Simply ingenious, and lots of fun!

The most fun I've ever had playing a local coop game on steam, challenging but very rewarding if you take the risk of keeping your stuff in order to exchange it for better loot. It's an amazing game and I wish for more people to discover it.
Not sure about full price but for under 5 bucks a total steal.

Great Rogue like. Blazing Beaks has an interesting gimmick, a fun game play loop and great art. I would have liked to see some passive items or more wacky guns and active items (like Gungeon) but all and all great game, with a FANTASTIC modding community. If you are interested in a fun rogue that is easy to mod check this one out. 3/5

Didn't love it at first tbh, but it's a really great game. Very smooth feel, nice sounds and animations. Really interesting concept with the cursed artifacts. It's always enticing to try to take them all, but really specific combinations or not getting a shop for awhile with some of them makes it extremely challenging and creates unique runs.

This review is coming from someone who has good amount of experience on this top down shooter genre. I got my first win on normal mode 1 hour in, got my hard and Egg win(the insta kill character) 10 hours in and got my Egg hard mode win after 18 hours in so probably did have experienced the game ideally to this point.

The good;
•A "roguelike" with a very sweet idea which goes around getting curses that makes your run expotentially harder for the rewards that are waiting for the player in the shop.

These curses can provide diffirent aproaches to the run and do cater to the replayability aspect.

•That's it

The bad or the horrible or the aeugh

•Artificial as fuck. Damage values are obnoxious. The characters has 2 - 5 hit points and in Normal mode(the intented game) you get 1 - 3 dmg on average which leads to massively quick meltdowns that doesn't feel like it was your mistake.

Especially the hard mode is comically stupid. It was as hard as the insta death character as the enemies dealt 2×(first chapters frogs deals 4, crows with pistols deal 4, the charging red lads deal 5, the pocket ghost deal 5 explosions deal 6 and so on) and there was a health pick up every 10 - 15 rooms( which means roughly 4 - 6 heart for the entire run so you can take 1 - 3 hit at most) which makes this mod a borderline no hit one. Difficulty is done with damage values, this is something we stopped doing this after NES games.

•Horrible rooms. Rooms are enginered precedurely thus there is no room dessign. The rooms can be free or an insta kill for the player which nullifies all your work till that point which renders this game to be an offensive piece of shit especially in the hard mode.

•Horrible RNG. Sometimes you get the shop 2 times in a row sometimes you get it after 13 rooms(means you didn't even find one in the entire chapter chapter).

•Horrible weapons. This game has 3 coin weapons that are bad, 6 coin ones that are ok, 12 coin and so ons that are ideal. Some 12 coin weapons are exceptionally weak and deal no damage and doesn't even work against enemy crowds(razor blade gun works well against though). When weapons are this unbalanced you don't want to risk buying a new weapon as you can not even test it in the shop and also your current weapon dissappears upon purchase.

•Horrible content. Game has comically low amount of enemies, weapons, items, stages for the pricing. It feels like it should have been 33% of the current tag. I bought it when it was 66% off though yet still is a waste of money.

•Bad characters. You start with the duck which is far away from an accessible character. 5 HP is the highest(still very low for the grand scheme of damage values and health ups). His starting weapon is a melee weapon(but is called dust gun or something), when you buy a normal weapon its range is 50% lower so the character is actually a very daring one. Why would you make me start with this character? He is not even like Azazel from binding of isaac(short range, massive, piercing damage) he is just your average bird but exceptionally worse.

•Plathepus starts with 2 HP(starts dying in 1 hit and health ups are rare aa hell in this game), gets a lot of money and keys so can buy weapons more quickly but weapons are often not powerful enough to provide a peace of mind to the player. Not bad but inadequate as a character.

•Blue bird, 3rd one. The lad has 4 hp, has no downsides and when he is on 1 hp he takes the damage to his health up so he defies death. He is the most vanila and "relatively" forgiving character of the game. Play with him and ignore the rest.

•Chicken. Sniper, misses 80% of the time while moving which makes it insufferable to play with.

•Seagull. Pulls enemies close to him self while shooting so enemies just get a burst of speed coming towards you while being damaged which makes this character stupid difficult. When you get rid of the starting weapon traction is not an issue but this guy has 50% damage so good luck.

•Parrot. I don't know, never played with with him.

•Slacker. Idk, sounds like a horrible character. When he gets damage he slows down and when he hits enemies they become faster. Weapons are cheaper which doesn't mean anything.

•Egg. Dies in one hit, maybe 2 if gets a health up and full health. Deals 2×. Not bad because challange oriented.

•Bad bosses. First boss is exceptionally boring, second one is neat but his physics are broken as when he hits a straight wall he can perceive it as an edge thus can do an entirely not expected move(in this game you die in 2 hits so a big no). Third boss do spawn small insects and if you don't have a high fire rate weapon you are done for. Fighting with him is not fun. Fourth boss also spawns 1 hit enemies, low fire rate is death, his recoiling shots are as broken as the 2nd boss. 5th boss is also fine, has no flaws.

I bought this game to have some little fun. Wasn't expecting much and wanted to help the developer by not refunding after 2 hours. Unfortunately, I wish I have refunded it as I didn't feel like I was being respected due to the bad game dessign and overly priced product.

Has a neat potential that lies beneath. Hoping to see it reach to a good spot with a frenchise(an update won't do it) as that's a game many of us wanted to binge on but end up disliking it.

I've only played this game for an hour and I fell in love with it in the first two minutes, the fact that it runs so smoothly on my computer when I have so much going on it already is great, I don't have the greatest computer so a game that lets me run it at 60 frames on a monitor not fit for my laptop is great. Its animation and sprite designs are amazing and you can tell they put a lot of effort into creating this game. Its definitely right up my alley for something as a combination of Hades, Enter the Gungeon, and Moonlighter and I already respectfully love each one of those games. I've barely written any reviews for games but this one deserved this lengthy one.
