About Rightfully, Beary Arms
Rightfully, Beary Arms is a bullet hell roguelite developed by Daylight Basement Studio. Released on January 27, 2026, it plays on PC and Xbox. The game subverts standard roguelike tropes by making enemy upgrades and loot preservation central to its design. Instead of just collecting items and respawning empty-handed, you must tactically balance your choices against enemy faction strengths and weaknesses. The core loop involves planning dungeon runs, surviving wave after wave of projectiles, and retaining key upgrades between deaths. It’s a high-difficulty shooter for players who enjoy calculated risk and resource management.
Gameplay
Each run starts with selecting a faction to challenge, each with distinct enemy behaviors and upgrade paths. You move through procedurally generated levels, dodging relentless bullet patterns while picking up loot. The twist is that enemy upgrades, like armor or damage boosts, directly counter your own arsenal, forcing you to adapt mid-run. Controls are tight but demand precision, as tight corridors and rapid fire tests reflexes. Between runs, you allocate earned upgrades to preserve weapons and abilities. The game rewards patience and pattern recognition, but its unforgiving difficulty can lead to long stretches of trial and error. Runs rarely last past 15 minutes, with deaths often coming from a single miscalculated dodge.
What Players Think
PlayPile users rate the game 82% with a 4.5-hour average playtime. Completion rate is 38%, reflecting its steep learning curve. Community moods lean polarized: 61% call it “frustrating but fair,” while 29% deem it “overly punishing.” A top review notes, “The loot system is clever, but dying 20 times to learn enemy mechanics isn’t fun.” Achievements focus on surviving specific factions or clearing levels without dying, with the hardest, beating the final boss unscathed, owned by only 4%. Critics praise the tactical depth but question the lack of difficulty scaling.
PlayPile's Take
This game is best for fans of bullet hell challenges and roguelite strategy. At $39.99, it’s priced like a mid-tier indie, though the lack of multiplayer or co-op limits replayability. Achievements add some structure, but the high failure rate might deter casual players. If you enjoy methodically optimizing runs and don’t mind repeated deaths, it’s worth trying. Otherwise, its niche difficulty and narrow focus could make it a quick burnout.
