“A building strategy at the beginning of the new year is not a bad idea at all. Although it resembles the legendary game Pharaoh - or maybe because of that. However, it doesn't bring anything that we haven't seen before and the technical condition is not exactly the best.”

The soundtrack is truly incredible, and the game's immersion is so easily achieved with the plot. The cutscenes are magnificent, and I really liked the overall storyline of the game.

“All things considered, this is a rare moment where an indie game blows away fans of the 2.5D retro shooter genre. Thanks to its twisted story, intense and violent action in an anime-style 'erotic-gore' aesthetic, and excellent weapon and acrobatic combos, you're getting a short but highly entertaining game that genre fans will definitely appreciate.”

It's also true that the game doesn't offer a variety of gameplay, so after a couple of games, it becomes clear that it doesn't offer anything extra.”

“Banebush is a remarkable achievement in indie horror storytelling. Its striking visuals, haunting soundtrack, and expertly crafted narrative come together to create an experience that lingers long after the credits roll. For fans of visual novels, horror, or anyone looking for a game that blends artistry with emotional depth, Banebush is an unmissable gem. At its modest price, it offers tremendous value, delivering a haunting tale that challenges, scares, and captivates. Banebush proves that even a short, simple game can leave a lasting impact when executed with creativity and care. Whether you’re in it for the scares or the story, this darkly poetic journey is worth every moment”
