"Armillo" is an unusual 3D action platformer, a mildly Sonic-3D-esque roller where you roll around some tiny planetoids, collect stuff, fight/avoid enemies... it's consoley stuff but lacks controller support (fine, PC is best with KB+M), but the problem is that the KB+M controls aren't that great either. The premise is fine but the game lacks polish, looks and feels dated, and there's some killer bugs. The game isn't maintained (possibly a student project?) so this won't be fixed. What do you do in the game? Console-esque action platforming/rolling, putting up with bugs, wondering if this is from 2020 or 2010. Visually, this has some fairly mediocre/dated looking graphics that will understandably be a turn off for a lot of gamers, and it's a big contributor to the failure of the game to attract gamers despite having no up-front cost. This game is fairly dated at 5 years old... and even back then it looked old and busted compared to contemporary, professionally made 3D games of the same period. It looked bad then, it looks worse now. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. Most "free" games on Steam aren't really free. There's usually some kind of monetisation, from nasty …

Игра *Armillo* — это стратегия с элементами тактики, где игрок управляет армейскими отрядами в эпичных сражениях. Графика яркая, но не шедевральная, а геймплей заставляет думать: выбор тактики, расстановка сил и управление ресурсами — всё это требует внимания. Плюсы: глубокая система боевых действий, интересные миссии и возможность создать свою армию. Минусы: иногда неудобное управление и немного скука в повторяющихся квестах. Подойдёт фанатам стратегий, но не для тех, кто ждёт шедеврального сюжета. В целом — достойная попытка, но с потенциалом для улучшений.

Amazing little hidden gem, more than worth your time. It appears to be a port of a game originally released exclusively on the Wii U back in 2014, as such the game may appear slightly dated, but I honestly like the old console look myself. Apart from performance issues (that can cause consistent micro-stutters) the game runs fine and is quite intuitive to learn. There's plenty to do if you just want to run through the game once and there's also plenty to come back for once you've unlocked and purchased some upgrades later down the line if you're feeling like a completionist. All in all, this is a game that's definitely worth giving a shot, especially if you've got a soft spot for legacy console titles.

The original Wii U version from 2014 suffered from its bad frame rate, as the Wii U's CPU simply wasn't powerful enough for Unity Engine games. But now, playing the PC version in 120+ fps feels almost like a remaster!
