ROMBIE

I will admit it took me a couple of sessions to click on how to play properly, but once I figured out what I was doing I was hooked! A solid and really unique FPS that I appreciate the heart that has gone into it. Some hints and tips below (though you may prefer to figure these out on your own...) - Movement speed is tied to how many modules you have equipped - Unequipping some extra equipment before flying to the next area can be helpful - Shields are a thing! I came across them in a level 2 area - You can equip 2x shields, and 2x generators for a tankier build - The dash module is amazing for getting out of sticky situations, and for getting headshots lined up a bit easier - The dark warriors drop +1 level items over the current area level, so can be good for farming - Finding the repair station when you come into a lockdown area can be useful as a place to retreat while you pick off enemies - If your shots fire funny, check your weapons stats for wiggle or homing, these can be useful but personally I like the basic guns for accuracy and high single shot damage - I found farming an area to get level appropriate high % gear, then moving on 2-3 areas at a time (or until you get a…

It's not what I thought I would get. I've loved every game befor so I applaud the effort put into this one but it is NOT like 5098 or prior. The previous entries had a very jump in and play. This one feels stiff off the start, everything felt like a chore the first few minutes for me. Gotta float around not go to where the first quest takes you because it's a strong area, so grind somehow and then go to that area. It was just sluggy. Anyway for 10$ if I'm wrong call me out on it by buying the game and enjoying it. Many reviewers have, but this is not what I expected in bad light.

Normally I'm a big fan of Phr00t's games, but I just can't recommend this one. The progression is painfully slow at first, and then it introduces obnoxious gameplay elements like enemies that literally freeze you in place instantly and then kill you. This happens over and over in a particular area that the game locks you into until you meet a certain progression goal, but important pieces of your equipment break when you die and you quickly run out of funds to repair them. This basically softlocks your save and makes you do the first two or three hours of grind over again. The only realistic counter to this progression block would be to grind EVEN MORE for consumables that allow you to just heal while you're stunlocked, and even then you might run out because there are only so many inventory slots. Bottom line, it's very grindy with some downright unfair enemies and a very obnoxious death penalty that can send you right back to the beginning, grinding out level 1 funds and equipment because all your good stuff is broken and costs too much to repair.

This game is a pain to navigate through. The level designs make it super confusing. I stop moving to find out where to go next but I do not see a general waypoint posted just the direction on where to go. Navigating through this game world is a pain.

I love combat-oriented exploration games and I am enjoying this as I have enjoyed many of this developers other games

These are neat games, unique and relaxing. Like something out of a dream. I'd also recommend the other titles, 3089 is my fav!
