Glorious art direction, fist-pumping music, great gameplay blueprint. If you like roguelites or movement shooters, you should at least try it. Keep in mind that this is till Early Access, so it won't be completely baked. What's here is good, and the promise of what's coming is worth the price.

Very fun roguelike mixed with ultrakill combat

Incredibly fun roguelite FPS—a true hidden gem. Don't let the starting stages fool you; the level design improves significantly, and the first biome serves more as an onboarding period for Voidborn. Once you beat the boss of the second biome, you unlock a shortcut that offers an alternative starting stage—much shorter and way more fun.
Voidborn has a very striking visual style, and the trailers sell it a bit short. It looks much better “live,” and there’s a nice variety in level design. I just wish the enemies were as varied, since you end up fighting a lot of the same-looking “blob heads.”
Gunplay and movement are super tight (in the best way), and your character feels great to control. Voidborn nails something many shooters struggle with: enemy and weapon feedback. There's a satisfying 'hit stop' and flash effect when you land hits. It feels amazing to nail a headshot, parry an attack, or deflect a projectile.
Another thing Voidborn gets right—something many FPS games fumble—is the boss fights. Not all of them, mind you; the first few are a bit meh, more like minibosses that are just elite versions of standard enemies. But starting from the City biome, it’s all absolute bangers. These fights demand mastery of both movement and combat and are accompanied by some incredible tunes. Every major boss fight feels like a full-blown spectacle.
Speaking of music—just like the level design, it really steps up after the starting zone. It's this punchy mix of metal and electronic, with a touch of psychedelic. I absolutely love it and wish it were available for purchase on Steam or, at the very least, streaming on Spotify.
It took me around 8 hours to finish Voidborn, and I definitely got my money’s worth—and then some. I highly recommend it to any fan of movement shooters or FPS roguelites. Sure, it doesn't put its best foot forward right away, but once it gets going, it’s a rush.
I can’t wait to play the next game from Xekvera—it’s already available to wishlist on Steam and is called Hallow Blade. It looks incredible and seems to be aiming for more of a King’s Field vibe.
