Dual Core

This is a really good, yet strangely unkown, twin stick shooter. And I honestly can't see the reason why there is not much hype for this game. The graphics are well done handdrawn style with appealing effects layed all over it, the music is good and pumping and apart from very few ones missing here and there even the sound effects are quite good. The controls are perfectly responsible. There are only very few times when you get stuck on a corner and that's nothing that can't be flattened out by upgrading your robots speed so it can run and turn faster. The game itself is split into three parts. Not only can you immerse yourself in an intruiging story mode featuring many big maps full of enemies, hidden corners, traps and even little riddles to solve. Furthermore there also is an arena style arcade mode with highscore system added and a versus mode. So there is a lot to do here too for up to four players simultaneously in online or couch coop mode. What I personaly did like most about the game is he addition of an NCP in the form of an accompanying robot that you've got to rescue in the beginning of the story mode. He will actively play through the game with you helping in battles…

This game is AMAZING!!!!! I love the story and the characters they cure my adhd yes nenennenejngfdngfdg

bad game

bro programmed a game in assembly and uploaded it to steam 💀💀💀 0/10

Just a small note, Steam says Full controller support, but there is no way to access the settings on gamepad. Seems fun so far though. There's light lock on, so when fighting dont bnother aiming with the right stick, point at an enemy with the left stick and hold fire to lock on while you dodge bullets. Also you end up picking up bombs in your inventory, don't forget to use them. Fun little game, surprisingly nice looking art (despite little things here and there looking bad). And little hiccups that I can see getting annoying like constantly waiting for doors to open, as every room has door that take a second to open and make you stop moving to get through. For the relatively low price it's quite nice. And importantly, it's comfy to play, not too intense.

Played the campaign mode a little bit with keyboard & mouse and first impressions are good. Both combat and movement feel a bit sluggish but there are upgrades for speed & laser so I guess it's by design. Hopefully it'll get better as I progress... Despite several upgrades, Corby died several times during the campaign while my bot never did. Seems like Corby's AI is not good at evading enemy fire and the health regen (at Level 3) works soooo slow. The interruptions due to the numerous messages left by (late?) Dr. Lauren Franke are too frequent and repetitive and having to wait & read them while they are displayed slowly in typewriter style hinders the flow of the story. Furthermore, most of those messages don't add much to the story or help you in any way. But I still feel compelled to read them because what if that's one of the rare messages that actually gives you useful info... Also there are no settings for the graphical options (resolution, Vsync, etc.) which is odd. Seems like Vsync is on by default or the framerate is capped at 60fps.
