Gunswitch

Core of the game, slaughtering aliens into pieces and combining different modifications to the weapons you use, is really fun and satisfying. Graphics look good to the eyes and deliver the atmosphere of the game successfully, but there’s still a lot of polish needed and a lot of content that should be added to make it feel more like a complete, playable, and overall more fun game. On my 4050 + Ryzen 7 7735HS laptop, the game's optimization didn’t make it unplayable, but FPS drops do happen from time to time. I believe this will improve over time with feedback from different hardware setups, and I trust the developers will handle it. When it comes to gameplay the game feels alright, but sadly, there are things that hurt that feeling, like the companion AI not even trying to survive. Some players might also want a crosshair, so having a simple toggle option would be nice. The UI and text at the main base also need some fixing. These things, like the UI and text, might seem minor and bearable for now, but people often look for small reasons to leave a negative review. So, if the idea of the game interests you, and if you trust me when I say the gameplay actually feels good, because…

Despite the naysayers - this is genuine fun. Controls need a tiny bit of time to get used to but it needs no refinement as many suggested. At least in my opinion. It is part of the fun that sometimes you get lost in the mess and you don't even know what you are shooting at. Focus, and you'll figure - in my opinion seeing the cursor would remove from the fun, it would degrade it to a point-and-shoot thing, which you can have in so many other games. The AI... well, simply let's not call the bots AI as that assumes intelligence ;) However, after 10-20 minutes you should get a feel for how to make them useful, when to take over to equip a new weapon or restore their health - other than that, you should pick your fav char and focus on causing as much damage to the largest body of aliens as possible. Leave the rest to the bots, they'll watch your back. Yes, their path finding leaves something to be desired, yes, they won't run after you but walk only - but hey, how unrealistic it would be if they would move together with you like an extension of your own character? Whilst it's annoying, it adds to the complexity that you have to plan your moves and paths accordingly while doing crowd-wor…

Gunswitch is a fast-paced top-down arena shooter where you blast through waves of demonic aliens. You control a squad of customizable robots, switching weapons and characters on the fly to adapt to the chaos. The game focuses on intense bullet-hell action, with tons of projectiles and flashy upgrades. Set in a space prison, it mixes nonstop combat with light strategy. It’s still in Early Access, so expect some bugs and unfinished features—but if you enjoy wild, over-the-top shooters, it’s worth checking out.

This game was enjoyable as a twin stick bullet hell. I play whit controller and had no issues with aiming, and have no need for a cursor as you can tell which way your firing and adjust your aim from that. No point in being precise, just spray and pray. Only thing that would make this game better would be Online co-op. 2nd best Twin Stick Shooter I've played this year.
