« Excellent 6DOF fun. Encounters are more than enough varied to keep the game fresh and challenging. Weapons are fun. Flying feels natural. Outside of Overload and Descent 2 it really doesn't get any better. »

« This game is already great and the developer updates it all the time to make it even better. Shooting and movement feel great, combat is readable, difficulty feels just right, great vibes even without a story. »

« First Desecrators gave me the six-degrees-of-freedom shooter I never knew I needed Then it gave me a flare gun and told me to explore a giant, completely unlit cavern This game is sick, and worth the price of entry for vibes alone »

« Take Descent, mix in a little Gothic weirdness from Forsaken and you get Desecrators. They've really nailed the controls and overall feeling of motion. Sound design is punchy too. Great on a Steam Deck (or at least Bazzite on a Legion Go)! »

« I highly recomend this game to fps nerds who have a passing interest in mech games. The flight controls are smooth and robust, dodging energy beams in corridors is so much fun. I hope the developer makes dlc or a sequel. »

« This game is really fun. It looks a lot like the 90's shooter called "Forsaken" but it's a rogue like with procedurally generated maps and randomized loot drops. »
