- Role-playing (RPG), Hack and slash/Beat 'em up, Indie, Action
The Weaponographist is a speedrunning hack-n-slasher dipped in a bit of rogue sauce. Doug McGrave, demon hunter and all-around jerk, refused to help a poor village and now he's cursed to have every weapon fall apart in his hands. Never stop and never slow down, constantly picking up the weapons of fallen enemies and building combos as you race through the depths of the dungeons to break the curse.

ExaminerJoe McCallisterApr 20154/5 stars"The Weaponographist" honestly took me by surprise, as the challenge was one that was motivating, the music never grating, and while the art was a little disjointed, it's easily ignored because I just want to beat the boss. It's a truly fun game, and at a steal of a price that won't have you questioning the value for dollar.

Readers GambitRhys ThomMay 20158.5/10A charming and easily grasped twin-stick shooter that acts as an endearing homage to the likes of Binding of Isaac.

COGconnectedLou SytsmaMay 201575/100The Weaponographist does enough things right that will appeal to gamers that are heavily into "The Binding of Isaac"-like dungeon crawlers. The gameplay compensates for the lessor elements of graphics, sound, and lack of personality. The Weaponographist won't be the most memorable game you will play but its strong elements do overshadow its shortcomings.

GameGrinMay 20152.5/10A good way to cook up a good headache and end up in anger management,The Weaponographist is repetitive, uninspired and incohesive. Based around the idea of grinding, you'll find yourself playing the same level over and over just to level up. And you won't enjoy it one bit.

Game RevolutionJeb HaughtApr 20152.5/5 stars[N]ot all is bad with The Weaponographist. I enjoy the basic gameplay, and the Saturday-morning cartoon-style visuals and light humor add to the fun. However, the lack of variety and poor design decisions make it seem like I'm the one that's cursed whenever I play.
