✦ AI summary
Players praise this retro-inspired action game for its fluid controls, nostalgic NES-style gameplay reminiscent of Zelda II, solid music, endearing graphics, and high replayability through procedural levels and multiple characters. However, some players find it boring or unengaging, and a few feel the asking price is somewhat steep despite the developers' commendable decision to exclude DRM.
divertido
it reminds me of NES rpgs. I like the controls and nostolgia.
It's a short little game with fluid controls, endearing graphics, a solid OST, sufficient lore for your retro action-platformer sort of game, multiple player characters that provide enough variety in the early game to keep things interesting, lots of items to collect and experiment with over runs, challenging but fair difficulty, and high replayability. I do think the asking price is a smidge on the high side, but the fact that the developers choose to not implement DRM in their game more than justifies it in my opinion - as a Linux user, DRM is one of the biggest challenges to getting games running. It also makes it difficult for the game to live on in case the studio fails. Highest praise for the developers in this regard. The gameplay is very similar to Zelda II, but much more refined. If you like the general idea of that game's combat, you'll love Gunmetal Arcadia.
This game is just wild, one of my favourite games in a 34 year gaming history. What drew me in were the similarities between this and the smash hit Zelda II: The Adventure of Link, and my love for rouge like action. But I really fell in love with this once I dug in. CRT effect is great and the art style has some really nice detail for an 8Bit style. There are a good number of weapons, upgrades and buffs. Levels are procedural, they are well done too. It feels fresh every time I play. Interesting story, helps if you play the other Gunmetal game (great game too). The story is light and does not get in the way. The music is wild, it is very digital with influences from NES and Commodore 64, At least that is what I hear. I love it. It's strange in some ways, but it feels deep. It's a great game all around, there isn't much I can criticise. Does not need much to run, great on a laptop. It's perfect to pickup when you have time for a quick game of something. It's entertaining, has fast action and is very engaging. Worth full price.
boring
man i'm sorry but this is super lame i don't like it
