ONE BTN BOSSES Review (Steam)

by Jim Smale · August 6, 2024

ONE BTN BOSSES Review, You pilot a ship that orbits the BOSS automatically. PRESS the button to change the ship’s direction. But the less you change directions, the faster the ship goes. The faster you go, the faster you shoot. The faster you shoot, the faster you WIN! Make sure to WIN before the BOSS gets too angry and wipes you out!

ONE BTN BOSSES Review Pros:

Decent graphics.
500.4MB download size.
Steam achievements.
Full controller support.
Video settings – resolution, color palette (light/dark/3 colorblind options) , and color animations.
Can remap the action button.
Shmup gameplay.
You do a series of tutorials on the map to learn about the mechanics.
Two game modes – roguelike, and campaign.
End of a level breakdown showing time played, hits taken, damage per second, rank, earned GP, and how many attempts.
World map level select.
A clever mechanic. You auto-shoot and pressing the button changes your direction on the current rail. The more you change direction the less you shoot and vice versa.
It’s a game that is so simple in practice but supplies a solid satisfying experience.
The maps have multiple routes and end with a boss fight at the end.
You can replay levels.
Enemies will always show their health bar and where they plan to attack.
The game is very reflex-heavy later on.
Earn GP from levels.
Learn new abilities and ways of playing as you progress.
Before selecting a level you can pick which new unlocked ability you take in with you.
The game is so well presented from the menus to the unlock tree and the game itself.
If you fail a level you get told how far you got in the fight.
Well written fun story.
The roguelike will give random level layouts, random boss fights, and after fights you pick from a few random abilities.
Online leaderboards.
