Gears of Dissent

fun little 45 minute game.

Engaging enough bite-sized game that captures the feeling of exploration

Very fun and simple game! my only complaints would be that I wish there was a reload button and maybe some of the bosses could attack a little less often so I have a chance to at least heal one gear. Overall it is a great experience for a quick game. The worldbuilding is a little wild but it is still really interesting and draws you into the world.

Overall very good game, decent challenge.

Good game, do wish there was controller though.
