XALADIA: Rise of the Space Pirates X2

Okay so game is an awful money grab whether i think price is appropriate is one thing (even tho i think its way overpriced and its not just lac of content because its early access the core itself is too small and simple to expand much upon it) but selling from day 1 two dlc is just a joke. That's literally cutting content out of the game to sell it separately and that means "true" base game costs 50% more than you think because base game is just cut short to make more money. Game concept is simple but nice and i liked the demo on steam fest but ♥♥♥♥ me this is just not okay

[code]Written By Hidden Gems Review : https://store.steampowered.com/curator/38624426/, Follow me! [/code] XALADIA: Rise of the Space Pirates X2 is a Tower Defense Bullet Hell game. Another game I want the middle button... First I will talk about the good, the space invaders type on this game looks pretty well with diferent type of monsters and a nice gameplay setting different types of towers. But there is also bad things and choices, for example tag this game as roguelite since the game isn't, it's more rpg type than roguelite, the choice of setting dlcs for get extra characters and guns is a bad one and for last I had a gamebreaking bug which in the final stage can't enter to the planet and can't move on and defeat the final boss... So the game has good and bad things I hope steam set a middle button soon...

If this is one guy making this game and its sold for three bucks, then yes. But its like it was never play tested. Ever. very odd design in most of the wrong ways. The levels are really stinking short. The turrets you get starting are completely useless until massive number of upgrades make them only slightly useful. The gun you get...only thing that matters is attack speed because the enemy bullets will cancel every single shot of yours. I took an exploding round gun...that only damages the single target hit not the those surrounding. Its just a rushed game. If I had to guess it was a high school video game programming project. Its pretty rough. The roguelike element is just that you can't upgrade between rounds. You have to upgrade on "upgrade planets" that randomly come up. so...hope you didn't buy turrets in any round bc that's the same currency you used to upgrade on that planet. I upgraded my gun about 15 times the first planet I came to and it didn't seem any better at all. just a weird game.

Invaders from Space

Simple game where you shoot xenoscum by pointing your gun to the sky. I "recommend" the game but only because the opposite is to say it is bad, which it isn't, for the right audience. The price (without dlc) is moderate as well. This game follows the ACQUIRE format of previous games like akiba's strip and way of the samurai in that you keep your progress between runs and each run is relatively short. This makes it an easy game to pick up and drop. As you get stronger, you up the difficulty to get more strong. The game flaws, as they are now, are as follows: - p2w dlc. The dlc weapons and characters seem superior (I don't have them so I can't verify this). - controller output seems to not work + requires you to restart the stage so you can shoot things. - UI makes it easy to accidently unequip weapons when given the choice to upgrade until you get used to it. There is no story. Was looking forward to acquire's interesting story telling but the story is what you read on the steam page.
