Shoot in front of you, but move backwards, its not that easy as it looks, but you have like 5 different characters you can use, each have a different weapon + they all have seperate HP to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45OmMN1ZxEo15 found this helpful
The characters have decent variety between them, and the graphics and music are great, but the awkward controls just made this not very fun to play. If you run out of power, you are completely unable to move and just have to let enemies kill you. It's a decent idea, but not well executed here.8 found this helpful
I wanted to give Kamio Recoil a neutral rating, but Steam doesn't let me, so I had to flip a coin. [h1]Gameplay[/h1] The core gameplay is pretty fun, and this is where the game shines. This is a typical recoil 2D shooter, where gravity pulls your character down, and shooting propels her in the opposite direction. It's mostly focused on action, navigation, and resource management. The player can switch on the fly between 5 characters, which have very different shot types. For example, there's a missile that deals a lot of damage and has explosion damage, but has a slow fire rate and takes some skill to use. Another character uses a lazer that passes through enemies or obstacles, and is great for dealing with groups of enemies or clearing the path, but is inefficient versus single targets due to high ammo consumption. And then there's a character whose main "shot" doesn't do damage, but is quite fast and hardly uses any ammo. Each character also has a secondary weapon. Speaking of ammo: The game keeps track of each character's primary and secondary weapon ammo, and only the active character receives collected ammo. So there's some strategy which character to use in a given situati…5 found this helpful
This is basically Lethal Application only much more involved (stages require more exploration and there's many more of them, and you can swap between 5 characters) and, unfortunately, much less enjoyable because I did not feel the levels were very well-designed. I guess I could see playing it if you need more Lethal Application, but that game is free and better, so at least play that one first...2 found this helpful
It's just really bland and boring gameplay-wise, but at least you get a squad of five girls equipped with Spirit Arm.1 found this helpful
Neat mechanic. Could be better. Get it on sale if you're interested in its gimmick. Except for bosses, the goal in each level is to reach the end.1 found this helpful
