Battle Shapers

runs poorly, constant fps drops

Man this game shines from how much passion was put in it.

It's fine. The gameplay feels good and the game looks super polished, but there's nothing here that really stands out to me. The closest analog I can think of is RoboQuest, but that game has co-op and this one doesn't. The thing that really stands out to me about the game is actually the cut-scenes. This game does something I've never seen another game do: Every time you enter or leave a zone, there's a little cut-scene with the main character looking super tough. I get the idea there, but it doesn't really add anything to the game. It's really weird and along with the unusually long load times, it's kind of offputting. There's definitely better games out there, but this is solid.

It's an FPS roguelite with a sprinkle of Mega Man X for the story. Gameplay is overall fun but there isn't much depth to it. You can unlock most of the weapons pretty quickly. There doesn't feel like much depth to builds and the zones don't really change from run to run. Not a bad game, I had my fun and now I'm done. I got the true ending at about 38 hours but many might get there faster. If you can get it on sale, I think you'll have a fun time. Overall: 7/10. enjoyable, competent but not mind blowing.

Sound: the sound design is good the music fits the game well and gets you pumped. Visuals: The graphics are bright cartoony and colorful and the weapon effects all look pretty good Gameplay: The game is fun when you are in the intial gameplay loop ie to beat the boss for the first time and in that gameplay loop you have multiple viable options for a sucessful runs but once you try to reach the path where you are going for the true ending the difficulty curve feels distictly unfair and not fun at all with runs turning into atempts to fin one optimised build that will finaly let you win. The upgrades that you buy with the games metacurrency in terms of permanent character improvements and weapon unlocks make the game more fun and givce you more options even if it fells like some of theweapons and upgrades are there just to pad out the roster but making your own super gun to try to beat the game feels good i give it a 6/10 the old 6/10 not the modern ign kind.
