Scud Frenzy

This is a fine little game show-style twin-stick shooter. It's fun to play and the artwork is nice along with the occasional commentary from the announcer. But I give it a thumbs down because of the difficulty level-it is way too hard from the beginning. The scores you need to advance and unlock levels are just too high at the start and while there are powerups you can buy to help you out, ou really have to do all kinds of grinding to get them after you buy the first few you can get after the tutorial. If you can catch this on a good sale it's worth giving a try, but if you have little patience or don't like games that start out incredibly hard and don't let up (with no options to adjust difficulty levels) then pass on this one.

This game does NOT work with my xbox 360 wireless controller and I am not the only one with this problem. The 1.4 hours shown played is the amount of time I have wasted trying to get it to work. Meanwhile, crickets from the dev. Nothing like paying money for a game that is unplayable. Don't waste your neetbux on this tripe.

Straight-up action, no nonsense. Love it. If you enjoy Windybeard's home-grown art style, and think outside the box concepts, this is another good title from this developer to add to your list. Great game play, style, and music for a very reasonable price in my opinion. The controls and object of the game are concise and easy to understand, and then the action of it is a learning experience. I enjoy how frantic and chaotic the game play itself is, whilst the user interface and menus are organized and intuitive. I always appreciate when a game has visually appealing, theme oriented thought put into them, and Scud Frenzy pulls that off perfectly. It's also pretty cool to have tons of cosmetic upgrades and choices for your Scud (character) that you…

Controller support is needed. -my gamepad used to work (meets x-box 360 standards) on my system (Win 10, 64 bit), but now it doesn't. I tried contacting the dev ..and he did eventually respond. (See end of review) Game starts out too hard. SCUD looks like a fun little casual game, but quickly turns into a chore of repeating the same level over and over until you can beat some ridiculous highscore chosen out of thin air. I'm stuck on the 3rd level. I can't figure out how to get my score high enough. until then I can't see ANY other content this game has. (there is no sandbox 'play around' or any other mode) [h1]PROS[/h1] [list] [*]can earn credits to buy items from a store: from new jetpacks to new helmets(?) [*]can buy Perks, which make certain aspects of the game easier[/list] [h1]CONS[/h1] [list] [*]difficulty ramps up way too soon & no difficulty selection [*]only one game mode [*]full controller support is currently broken. everything works on my controller except for my d-pad, which is how you move in this game[/list] ****** ****** UPDATE: dev replied to me and said he didn't change anything on his end. that I should check my drivers on my controller. (I've been too BORED…

In the short time I've played this game, I've had more fun then in hours upon hours of plethora of others. This is a fun interesting take on a platformer shooter, and is tons of of fun!

great fun game! fast paced and addictive
