Games N Moorer's Joseph Moorer took some time out this week to check out Godstrike, which he refers to as a "speedrunning boss rush" game. In Godstrike, players take on a series of bullet hell-style bosses, but they are on a timer. Even worse, every time they get hit, the timer loses a few seconds.
With some buttery smooth dual-stick controls, players lose and gain time as they play, even using time as a currency to buy new abilities. Joseph prepped before the stream to familiarize himself with the first boss. "I died a lot of times," he says, heading into the first fight, before proceeding to (barely) beat the first boss on his first try. Beating a boss fills your time meter some, and grants new powers. This all makes for some very clever gaming mechanics, and one extremely difficult-looking game that is a ton of fun to watch.
Godstrike is now available on Nintendo Switch and Windows PC for $14.99.
