Brigador: Up-Armored Edition

Enemies and you are too small, I didn't like the controlls, campaign is just a list of small missions.

It quickly gets old. Same gameplay over and over with little strategy.

Yeah, but ! The menu actually sucks so much. More often than not, I've been wondering what some icons meant, and why I played some missions over and over again. But apart from that, the game deserves its high ratings. It's a phenomenal game, the sense of destruction is superbly rendered, you just feel your mechs crushing through stuff. It deserves five stars, but those menus are just so unfriendly...

Just like Mandy said - it's a playable synthwave album with great gameplay mechanics. This game is just so much fun and so far there's nothing I don't like about it. Mechanics feel great, worldbuilding creates a great atmosphere and sound design is salivating. AQUIRE BRIGADOR

Brigador offers you a unique power-fantasy to play out: would you like to enter an incredibly distasteful interstellar banana republic dystopia where your only reason to live and die is the total obliteration of absolutely everything in sight, all drenched in an amazing cyberpunk-esque aesthetic, beautiful prerrendered assets and a killer synthpop soundtrack using ridicoulously varied and creative arsenal of mechs, tanks and plain bizarre killing machines? If your answer is yes you might probably have kind of a weird kink, to be honest. Nonetheless, Brigador will satisfy: Solo Nobre must fall. All in all, the combat scenarios provided both by the campaign (delightfully written with a really enticing and repulsive flavour to it) and the freelancer mode, provide an experience that (depending on your control scheme) will alternate between absolute madness and CONTROLLED absolute madness, providing you with situations that might end up requiring way more tactical prowess that you might have initially expected, specially if approaching Brigador as a plain mindless isometric vehicular combat game. And to my eyes, that's precisely what makes Brigador such a gem and an instant cult-classic. Trust me, Brigador: you're gonna have a blast.
