[h1] Heavy extermination of robots and cyborg scum. Probably one of the best in this category. Takes some inspiration from retro FPS games. Overall decent mayhem! Upgradable weapons, quite challenging on hard difficulty. Would play again. [/h1]5 found this helpful
The game is medicore and its definition of difficulty is jacking up the enemies hp. I played the game on insane and it was a miserable experience spending 5-10 seconds on every enemy to kill them. If it is a tanky enemy i crap you not its like 30s. If you want to try out the game, which is nothing special/unique, play it on easy/normal to save yourself some time.
NO THINKING NO PUZZLES JUST SHOOTING I LOVE THIS GAME

It's supposed to use stamina, but it's either bugged or broken and it actually doesn't, no matter how many times you use it, making higher difficulties a cakewalk compared to OG. New enemies are cyber zombies that replace some encounters on some maps. They run to you on a straight line and have really slow attacks and low HP, making them useless, even on higher difficulties. I don't see the point of their addition, but that's just me. New weapon is a katana: cool looking but it's completely useless on ANY difficulty except easy. Used it once and completely forgot about it. Compared to OG: Graphics are pretty same looking, minimal improvements if any. Difficulty is easier because of dash, but at the same time, they gave some of the enemies EVEN MORE HP on higher difficulties (WHY?! biggest problem with…
