Cool concept but flawed by difficulty
It’s a cool concept, but completely flawed due to the overly high difficulty due to the 1 hit death mechanic. The game is far too complicated to have this, made even worse by the speed and precision of the enemies and the fact the character doesn’t move or aim properly, getting stuck on little things all the time. Stealth is also tough and overall, it’s far too frustrating to be any kind of fun – you rarely get to appreciate the carnage as you’re too busy dying from off-screen enemies or because your timing was slightly off. Which is a shame, as the overall presentation, setting and style are good and the ever expanding choice of powers could make for some fun times, if you ever had a chance to use them effectively. The plot is poor (and gets worse as it goes along), the bosses manage to be both boring and annoying and the levels become shorter as the game progresses (which does make them a bit easier). In general, I didn’t really enjoy it and when I started encountering bugs, I had to call it a day.
