Never before have I played a game where the gameplay feels like what people say crack is like. Just reeled me in hook line and sinker. ...HOW IS THIS ONLY TEN DOLLARS WHAT DO YOU MEAN1 found this helpful
one complain: it is hard to make out their words when they speak because some times the music is louder that the words, also the game does not have subtitles. aside from that the game is good.1 found this helpful
terrific game, short and sweet and fast and powerful baby
I love the aesthetic, the writing, the cutscenes, the amateur VA, and even how the gameplay [I]feels[/I]. But the gunplay messed me up. Part of me thinks it's because I was born too late to appreciate this particular lineage of boomer shooter, but others point out "design decisions" which are - for better or worse - partially taken from the boomer shooters of old too. I do sympathize with the fellow reviewers, some level designs grow increasingly esoteric and interlocked (such as requiring multiple keys and backtracking), though admittedly this is indeed pulling from games like DOOM and not necessarily the devs' fault for being faithful. What kills me is that I never got quite good at Captain Wayne. I struggled through the earlier levels and for the later ones, I just turned on god mode. As a consequence I paid a little more attention to the enemy spawns and they were fairly formulaic, ascending in difficulty with each wave whenever there's a horde attack. I did see the Antonblast influence with that last level being timed, as well as a runback - nice.
Extremely boring and ugly. I did not find it fun. I found it absolutely ugly with mix of colors that does not permit to see properly. That is the worst, how hard it is to read the screen. I found it clunky as hell. It is running on Linux doh if you are wondering. And it is trying to connect to the internet to do whatever... You can block it with an application firewall. One good is coming for Linux at othersee.com very soon. Just visit the place from times to times by now. I got it refunded.
Cutscenes need subtitles or actual proper voice mixing, gameplay doesn't need enemy spamming everywhere, also bloated enemy HPs for no reason. Story, art and music were nice but I had a ♥♥♥♥ time
