"While the start of Into the Pit is unquestionably rocky, the follow-through is a blast, with fast action and serious pyrokinetics as monsters turn into blood splats decorating the walls."

"Into The Pit is a good way to reintroduce a genre one could have assumed a relic of the past. It’s a tad slowly paced and can get repetitive as any roguelike might, but it’s a strong innovation on a …"

"Into The Pit is an exhilarating first-person shooter with lofty ambitions. It is a fast-paced rogue-lite that excels in the bloody gunplay we&s;ve come to expect from classic titles such as Doom. However, its promised flashy spells and novel mechanic …"

"Into the Pit is a retro FPS/roguelike that&s;s far less than the sum of its parts. It&s;s got great action, but everything that surrounds it is questionable."
