Profane is not my typical pick of a game, but it has to be said that there is a lot of fun to be had by changing it up. As a strategic bullet-hell twin-stick-shooter, this game looks great and offers a lot of bang for your buck. 10 bosses, 40 power-ups, and some tactical gameplay make this a solid title for those who adore this unforgiving genre.

Overview
Profane is a 3D boss rush Bullet Hell based on time. This means that you have to face every Boss and defeat them before your time runs out! Time is money and health, so acquiring abilities or being damaged will reduce your remaining combat time. You better watch out! Along your path, you will unlock over 40 unique abilities by defeating bosses. Before each battle you will be able to customise your ability loadouts to optimize your playstyle and discover powerful combos! In Profane you embody Talaal, the last of God’s seven masks. Talaal finds you just in time to fight against her siblings, that hunt her to absorb the power within the mask. You are now trapped, fighting a war that is not your own, a cycle that seems impossible to break. If you enjoy frantic experiences and hard challenges,prepare to be tested! Challenge other players and reach the top of the leaderboards!

Profane is a devastatingly frantic boss rush bullet-hell twin-stick experience that looks and plays nice on the Nintendo Switch. While you lose the Twitch and Mixer integration that the PC release has, it still includes the rogue-lite challenge mode, leaderboards, and daily challenges to keep you returning for additional runs. The timer-based currency...
Profane is definitely a great game to play. It’s hard and you’ll get mad, but each boss is oh so satisfying to take down. Even the first time taking down the first phase of a boss feels good. So what are you waiting for? Jump in and git gud.
I would not recommend Profane to most of my friends who have terrible, terrible hand coordination skills, but I would recommend this to a few of them who like a challenge. I just wish they had bonus items that will increase the time limit, which will make it more convenient but still challenging to play.
It is a rough diamond that is in need of some refining and shining, but still provides a good bullet hell experience.
