Rebel Engine

The dev provided me with a review copy. Bless him for that. That said I found too many problems with the game that I can't not put a negative review. With a heavy heart because I can tell a lot of work went into this and there is some quality here. First you can't change the movement keys. Since I have an AZERTY keyboard, that makes the game mostly unplayable for me. I find it really weird that you can change all keys in the game except movement keys. Second, there is a problem with the interface when I play fullscreen. The menu buttons highlited are at an offset from the mouse. So I was forced to play windowed which added a second layer of frustration to my already bad impression. I don't know what causes this problem but I already encountered it in some games. As for the game itself, well, I think the whole concept doesn't work, it tries to mix melee and ranged attacks into juggle combos, which doesn't really work. To try to moderate the problem, the game makes it so that both you and the enemies can zip around the playfield, being alternatively close enough for melee, and at a large distance adequate for shooting. This feels really weird and schizophrenic, as you're never real…

Great game, but I wish the developers fixed the following issues. -Softlocks on certain parts of levels where a transport is supposed to arrive to take you to another location -Lack of checkpoints between parts of levels, especially boss fights with multiple phases -Bad optimization causing framerates to drop even on lower graphics settings -Missing SFX in cutscenes

the most ADHD game ever

2 hours in so far and from the perspective of a character action game enjoyer, yeah, this game slaps. It's got launchers, combos, freedom of expression all wrapped in a nice cartoonish presentation. It's great! (so far)

I really enjoyed my time with Rebel Engine. Combat is basically a FPS combined with a Hack and Slash and is focused on a good mix of both melee and ranged combat which you use in tandem with each other to perform cool combos to increase your style points. I found the story to be really fun with some great voice acting and music along with a great art style which all comes together to give the game a great personality and charm. The game will take you about 4-5 hours to get through on a first playthrough and there is a Arena based mode for more playtime.

The game looks and feels like a 90s Saturday morning action cartoon in the best way. Even though it's rather low-poly, the game still looks really good and a huge part of that is due to the fact that like I mentioned it's taking inspiration from old school cartoons with how overly saturated it is. I dig it! Now, the one downside with this is the writing is cringy but it feels like it's doing so in a way that's super ironic. It's not gonna be everyone's taste but if you want some of that old school cheese, you're probably gonna enjoy it. But the gameplay is the best part. There's so much crap you could do with the mechanics like picking up some random bystander and throwing them at an enemy or picking up the actual enemy and launching it at another, summoning a black hole only to crush them with a giant fist, grapple an enemy before slashing at them to regain your armour before comboing them mid-air and lauching at the ground with a gun that plunges them to the ground. There's a hell of a lot you can experiment on. I think I only have 3 issues with the game. First of all, it's really easy and a hard mode sounds really needed since even with my parries being not the greatest and at …
