Disclaimer : i didn't finish the game, i stop the game to a certain point where the game become for me annoying. (+) Graphism : ok but please no kamikaze pink ... Story : Quite linear. (+) Gameplay : simple but efficient with different guns to switch strat. I personnaly have enjoy the combo assault rifle and shotgun. (-) Boss. : boss are my main reason to stop. 1) they are bag of hp which make the fight last long for no real reason (it is not like there is any visual effect). 2) they have specific gun which make them interesting except when some boss have smg which have the same range as asault gun. 3) The first boss is not concerned but after the second all boss have perment spawn of ennemies ... and sometimes in your back without making any sound. Yes it is possible to anticipate if you always look behind yourself... but this become unfun especially when the ennemy is a kamikaze pink vehicle who remove half of your health bar. 4) Some boss have some special defense : the boss i stop where able to deviate shoot with her knife... All type of bullets. So to beat it there is two solution : a) perfect timed grenade to remove 5-10% of health. b) shot in the back of the head with ru…

The game is pretty simple top-down shooter with insane difficulty and constant struggle against all odds. Too hard to be fun. The story is nothing to write home about. Some of the character art is pretty good. Nice gun sounds. Kinda reminds me of crimsonland. Just less enemies on the screen and extreme difficulty.

While some games are difficult through good design, this feels like the opposite. Enemies swarm you without warning, Bosses are complete bullet sponges, no way to replenish medkits during missions, checkpoints are inconsistent (sometimes it saves during a boss, sometimes it won't) too many ways to interrupt reloading, which I may add can be painfully slow. I'm sure game appeals to hardcore top down shooter players out there but for most people this game is simply too frustrating to be fun.

pretty alright, but the difficulty is pretty nutty since this is a pretty simple game (think of those flash games in the 2000s) but the art sprites are done really well

This game is very difficult, even when the difficulty settings are set to easy. That being said, it is still quite fun and enjoyable. Might not be worth $10 (to me) and I would recommend getting it on sale for around $4 whenever that happens. Game-play wise it feels like a more simple Hotline Miami 1, mixed with a bit of the low intelligence of GTA:2 enemies where they walk in your direction no matter what. Suppressed weapons have zero reason to be used, because stealth does not exist in this game. Hard difficulty is actually insanely hard to complete, and honestly I could never do it, medium difficulty was so difficult that I swapped to easy (I probably could've done it but it would take a lot of patience & time), and even then I have a common death every once in a while. The only weapons I have found to be practical in 90% of the situations in game are of 4 combo class setups, from best to worst; 1: Shotgun & LMG 2: Shotgun & SMG 3: LMG & SMG 4: LMG & DMR I never used a single Assault Rifle or Pistol/Machine Pistol the whole time I played since they are useless for 99% of situations. DMR's are very specialized, because if you cannot hit your shots then they have no purpose,…
