My biggest gripe with the game at the moment is that it doesn't feel complete and lacks fun, there aren't enough items that synergize well enough with each other, and any guns you get will invariably suffer on the fourth floor if they aren't red or don't have particular arbitrary stat numbers (i.e. armor piercing or certain bullets or weapon type of plasma, laser, etc.), this becomes a problem when the entire game mechanic relies around guns and arbitrary numbers and their corresponding systems aren't explained at all to newcomers, you're simply told to inspect the weapon and that's about it. When you consider that guns are given to you completely randomly, (aside from weapon shops which are also completely random), and the fact that on top of that guns get random stats and random damage types which may only be good at tearing through shields and nothing else, you get a frustrating mechanic where you are hoping by the time you get to the fourth floor where suddenly enemies start doing much more damage then they should be and becoming bullet sponges, you have to hope you get a particular weapon or it's GG by floor four and above, it's basically like being told to get out and that your entire run was a waste of time. You can never really be truly OP in this game unless you have any of the 3 particular red items that are way better then everything else could ever hope to be. Also fuck chrono troopers and gliders that stunlock you even while dodging. I forgot to mention the frequent crashes I had with the GOG copy of the game and the Steam copy never crashing once. It can't be fullscreen and I have to click a few times so it doesn't crash. Needs a bug fix or some sort. It's not a bad game if you're thinking of getting it, just buy on sale for 50% or for 75% off, which it is at the time of this review.
