if you like the base game or robocop, this is great, the one issue is that its rather janky in places. Well, that and the ending is a bit weak, but that might just be me.
I have officially reached the point in which I continue to play this game out of spite. A messy ARPG, has really chunky attacks (which I like) but an absurdly idiotic exposure mechanic and really weak progression... Specially when it comes to skills using two handed and bows as example, your two handed 1 through 4 skills (and you only get 5 skills per-weapon type) are: an aoe attack around you, an aoe attack around you that maybe will stun an enemy (most of the time it wont) a big slam in front of you that somehow feels weaker than a regular attack... and may as well just be another aoe around you attack, and throwing a tiny hammer made of electricity like a boomerang... you can see the problem right? Bow you have the world's weakest roundhouse kick (I assume its supposed to push enemies away from you... but most of the time it either does nothing or somehow pulls them in instead) a big charged arrow attack... that is poison themed, and there are enemies that are completely imune or strong against poison (so this attack is useless against them), a big aoe shotgun blast style attack (aka, the only good arrow skill) and a generic (and incredibly weak and innefective) arrow rain skill that seems to do basically no damage and has no extra effects to it. Maybe magic, one handed or dual wielding have better skills, but I dont know because this game doesnt have any respect options, so if you end up finding the weapon type(s) you picked really lame, well, sorry, you are stuck with them. Whats that, the game refuses to drop you a decent upgrade to your selected weapon type? (and the stupid luck based merchant refuses to provide one too) and you instead keep getting weapon types you dont have any skills for? well, though luck! And yeah, you dont get to actually buy stuff in this game, you pick a weapon type, and you will get a random rarity for it (and I also noticed drops during stages are extremely rare) So its always a dice roll if you are getting an actual upgrade.
A must play for robocop fans, taking place between 2 and 3; Its a unique FPS with light RPG elements in which you basically play a walking tank, with fun perks such as small arms fire bouncing off your armor to hit enemies and such. Also one of the best handguns in any FPS ever, a gun so satisfying and fun to use you can easily beat the entire game using nothing but it.
An absolute classic that is way more than resident evil with dinos as everyone says; It does have some issues as its a rather experimental game, but they are easily overlooked
As the title says, a glitchy mess, from text repeating, audio issues, enemies teleporting, or damage/traps remaining after being destroyed... to complete progression and save destroying glitches like an NPC you need to talk to in order to finish the game never spawning, forcing you to reset your save. In addition to that, it was brought to my attention that the devs have since stopped updating the game on GOG, abandoning this version completely. I am not the kind of person to normally write reviews, when I do its for a game I absolutely love... or to warn people off from shit like this. And just to be fair, here is my take on the gameplay regardless... It feels like crap, at first... a slow, cover based game that seems to not want to be a slow cover based game at times, with some really slow and clunky feeling movement and some annoying enemy setups that don't match with the game feel, specially the weird focus it tries to put on melee and melee items when they are usually incredibly hard or ineffective to use... But after a while it clicks in place and becomes actually enjoyable, you get on the swing of things, start progressing and unlocking stuff, getting better at the game itself as well (learning to completely ignore melee and never bother with any of it)... And then you run into a progress ruining glitch and start to feel nothing but venom for the game... Yeah. Avoid this one, specially here, but on steam too.
I'm not really good at writing reviews, but will give it a try because this game pissed me off enough. Gameplay starts good and fresh, a more-rpg-like, for lack of a better term, xcom with nice sprites, enviorements and potential; Unfortunately it goes nowhere from there. Character progression in particular is very frustrating, relying on finding better gear, as in, literally versions of what you already have with bigger numbers that, for reasons mentioned in a bit, makes no real diference. Other than that you got stims that can improve your character stats... too bad you are basically limited to 5 per character otherwise they cause issues. Enemies, on the other hand, keep getting stronger, coming in higher numbers and having more health, leading to each stage being a bigger slog than the next, does not help that all stages are basically the same (walk around a same-ey looking map, loot everything, fight the enemies as they spawn). However, despite all that I could not stop from playing the game for a long while, because the plot and characters where very good, full of misteries and interesting questions... that the game never answers. My biggest issue with this game is that it answers nothing, if feels, as another review pointed out, halfway done; Just as the plot starts to build towards an interesting climax, and you start to learn things it just... ends. Nothing is answered, character arcs are left unfinished, you just get a cliffhanger ending that all but says "This will get solved in the sequel". This is what burned me the most and led to this one star ending, because (and I am repeating myself here) the plot and characters balanced out the problems with the gameplay and made it worth pushing through, only for the final reward to be a sudden as all hell cliffhanger.
