[h1] Ok. [/h1]6 found this helpful
I do reccommend this game because it is free, has great animations, and is a little entertaining. However, I find that it needs a bit of work with the controls and hitboxes. Especially when at full health you become a huge target and your character isn't very fast, even when utilizing the unexplained mechanic that you go slightly faster when you're not firing.5 found this helpful
Good, free game
It's pretty, but way too basic. The gameplay needs a lot of work to make it fun. For example, the enemy patterns are all over the place, and sometimes you get stuck in literally unwinnable situations where you can't do anything. The hit feedback is also very weak and unsatisfying.
not my cup of tea, but it seems fun.
What a incredibly hard game. I spent three hours total before I got my 1st dub. I wouldn't give the game a negative review , but it is definitely frustrating to say the least. Tough hit boxes, somewhat impossible to maneuver spaces. I say the hardest boss is the beaver he kicked my ass more times than I can count. I feel accomplished when I finally won. Almost as good as a FROMSOFT boss. At the end loads of Fun, which is why I kept coming back. For a free game a 9/10 only because that damn beaver or otter boss seemed impossible at times.
