A Robot with Swagger
You are Roger, a robotic wanderer with all sorts of fantastical technologies including totally overpowered tractor-beam arms and legs.

Stylish Mayhem
These goblins just keep coming so there’s no limit to the punishment you can inflict upon these intergalactic dognappers: throw ‘em against the wall, shoot ‘em with their own gun, blow ‘em to smithereens… sky’s the limit. As you accrue abilities, you will soon become an unstoppable force, capable of sliding, stomping, grabbing, throwing, and even slowing down time itself!

Throw kitchen knives at enemies, launch a cargo crate into a security bot’s cranium, explode questionable containers of fluid, and more! Go ahead and start smashing, we guarantee you’ll feel better.
Dynamic Encounters
Goblins aren’t known to be the brightest pickles in the patch (read: they’re dumb), but when working together, they can be surprisingly adept! Prepare to face off against legions of baddies from lowly security guards to berserker warrior gods, security drones to massive war mechs and more… hey, it’s a big galaxy with a lot of nasty things in it.

The gameplay is nuts and there is DEPTH to this game. You can try different builds for your runs as you unlock new abilities. The graphics and particle effects get crazy too. I highly recommend this really fun game.

I first encountered NO RELOADING at Dreamhack Atlanta, the game itself stood out, The Development team eager to display their product and people flocked to play!
Ever since I first sat down and played at the convention I was hooked! I then joined the playtest group and was able to enjoy the game streaming it to others mainly showcasing the "Streamer Mode" which is the seamless Twitch Integration function they cooked up for chat to make the streamers life harder and a bigger challenge than the game normally offers!
I was over the moon when NO RELOADING Early Access dropped and instantly picked it up! Now able to stay up to date and enjoy the game in it's entirety, but whats even more amazing than the 15$ Price tag and endless replayability , is the fact that the developers are very involved with the community they have built, they are very transparant with their work showcasing the roadmap ingame as well as always taking in our thoughts and ideas to help improve NO RELOADING.
True me when I say this game is a steal, ESPECIALLY if you're a content creator!

NOTE: While at the start of this review I don't have very much playtime, I have extensively played the pre-release Play Test version. My profile will show 60+hours. Though admittedly with AFK time it's probably in the 30+ hour range.
NO RELOADING is a very fun roguelite + third person shooter than leans heavily on the "stylish" aspect of combat. The most recognisable influence at first would be games like Max Payne and Dead to Rights with their diving, bullet time abilities. As the game progresses, however, you will unlock a plethora of abilities that add to your stylish arsenal. Everything from running along walls, to deflecting projectiles back at enemies, to cartwheels, to power slides, etc... You will become a robot parkour ninja killing machine.
The sheer number of abilities that become available to you starts as potentially overwhelming. But the way the game gives incentive to use them by chaining them together, delivering you more HP back on a kill (or XP if at full health), you will find yourself exploring more and more of these abilities. Before you know it, it feels natural to combine them all in extremely fun ways.
Not to mention on top of all that? It's a roguelite. Each run you will also get choices of modifiers to each of these fun abilities, and more. There is a lot of depth to be had in the various builds you can gear toward throughout a run.
Overall I really, really enjoy playing this game. I always find myself returning to the main hub (The Construct) and immediately darting back toward the start gate for a new run.
8/10, highly recommended for fans of shooters and roguelites alike.
