B.A.D Battle Armor Division

A test of patience, that's what this game is lmao. The good: the setting is very cool. Big robots, mecha, space ships, very nice. The mid: the gameplay is both extremely fun and annoying, with aiming on keyboard and mouse being terrible because you don't have a cursor and aim with your movement keys so when you try to aim up (with w) your gun just goes all the way up, and when you try to aim down (s) your gun just goes all the way down. So all those enemies in between? You basically have to spam up/down and fire while your gun raises since you can't control the exact point of your weapon, 10/10. Other than that, gameplay is actually really fun. I kind of brute forced myself to enjoy it after the first 20 minutes, then I began actually enjoying it once I got good. The bad: You ever select a mission, have nothing happen, then have to hit escape, go back to main menu, then reload the game? Good times. (bug) You ever select a mission, have nothing happen happen, then have to hit escape, select a save file thinking you're loading it, then suddenly you go from Mission 9 to Mission 1 and start over? Good times. (that isn't a bug, that's just a wtf moment) You ever replay to where you lost…

Awesome and original game with fresh and exciting lore. It does a great job of telling the story by dropping you right into the action. The only thing I'm missing is a QOL addition or two: 1) Save my loadout between missions (It can be annoying having to re-select everything). 2) Upon death, let me simply retry the mission (instead of going through the menu again). Specifically: For the final escape sequence, let me just re-start that.

good concept but a lot of bugs, stupid game ever. Do not buy it

Difficult but good

I'm always down for a game reminding of [b]Valken[/b]/[b]Cybernator[/b] and this one could have been nice thanks to missions being fairly brief. Having systems to defend from enemy fire, like smoke grenades and anti-missile measures, is also a good addition to the tried and true advance-shoot-shield. Sadly, this game is an overall mediocre, inconsistent mess to look at, coupled with unresponsive controls and bugs, like the mission selection often skipping from Mission 1 to Mission 3, or suddenly jumping to missions I shouldn't even have reached yet (I didn't even immediately realize I was playing Mission 6 after finishing Mission 2), or stops working unless I press Esc and reload... It's not without effort but the result is simply not recommended.

As with all of the sidescrolling mech games that I can find on steam, the keybinding does not work. So it is unplayable
