What is GRUEL?
In this single-player first-person shooter, you enter an endless temple to collect gold and fight monsters through a changing sequence of rooms. Guns have limited ammo and can break, while artifacts improve your abilities as you push deeper.
For you if...
- +you like fast arcade shooting over tactical gunplay
- +you enjoy adapting when weapons break or run dry
Not for you if...
- −you want objectives beyond fighting through rooms
- −you need bosses and a clear sense of progression
What players say
97% of 107 reviews are positive
Players praise the quick start, punchy combat, and art style. One player says the room-to-room fights grow repetitive without bosses or more progression.
