Metal Country

Oh boy ...This game is not what it could be. It's enjoyable enough but could be better. It's essentially worth its price. Certainly not a bargain. Here's my video about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cnej1R0iN8k

At first play I thought this was more of a Zen style thing, but after passing the first level it ramps up pretty quick. Played it for about an hour and got to the third stage and it was starting to kick my butt. Pros: Easy to pick up, straight-forward gameplay. Simple interface. Inexpensive on Steam. Cons: At least for me, the color scheme gave me a headache after 30 minutes. Plus the game has a habit of taking over your desktop which makes it hard to stream and it isn't optimized very well so it fluctuates in DPS a bit. Overall I would say it isn't a bad pickup on the current sale of $1.59 USD. Even the normal price of $1.99 USD isn't horrible. Anyone that likes a side-scroller that ramps up in difficulty as it goes will enjoy it and get their money's worth even with maybe a few hours of playing it. The little bit of platforming (for lack of a better word since you fly) and squeezing through obsticles will challenge anyone. However, if neon-colored backgrounds bother you, definitely don't get this as you might experience eyestrain and headaches like I did. Rating? ... I give it a 6/10. Need some work and a bit of polish but it isn't bad at all.
