As someone who has spent a lot of time on other top-down roguelites such as Enter the Gungeon, Voidigo, SYNTHETIK 1 & 2, Colt Canyon and Blazing Beaks. If you are a fan of any of those games you may like this one as well. What makes it standout is the ability to customize your robot character from head to toe which I think is pretty neat. Whether you want a different weapon or a visor even legs! so yeah it super fun with great selection of parts you can install on your personal robot after each level. You also get to choose the amount of risk and reward, therefore is up to you, want to big on the reward but face a lot of bots or play it safe. That's not all you can play up to 4 local coop which is pretty rare these days, if you have a group of friends it is a blast taking down rivals robots in a complete mayhem package. I wish there was online multiplayer but still I can see myself coming back to the game, it just the general vibe is great I mean if you like robots and pumping music in the background, you gonna have a lot of fun :D
While I like the original Cryptark's dark, gritty themes, the sequel is a bit more vibrant. Not that it's a bad thing, but I personally prefer the seriousness of the original. Nevertheless, Gunhead is still a fun game. Having played plenty of roguelikes and roguelites that are 3D FPS, like Ziggurat 2, Gunfire Reborn, and Roboquest, what sets this roguelike apart from others is its goal-oriented structure you must plan all of your runs or will fail miserably. The more you play, the riskier the game gets. Everything matters in the game: ammo isn't infinite nor easy to find, your health is permanent until you can heal it somehow, and managing your money by balancing what to buy or upgrade is crucial. Objectives are different for each mission with randomly generated levels. This game definitely has its shortcomings; it's not perfect. However, I didn't buy it as a Cryptark successor but was looking for something different as a fan of FPS roguelikes or roguelites. So, if you are looking for another game to play in that genre, Gunhead should be serviceable and will keep you entertained for hours. Just don't expect too much; it's all good old shooting fun.
Yeah, so this game is basically Payday meets Jackie Chan meets Doom with lots of content and replayability. On top of that it has multiplayer but still enjoyable as a singleplayer game. With crazy abilities, perks and weapons what there is to not to like. It is mindless fun especially with protagonist saying cheesy witty lines all the time, my favorite one being "Are you lost? Need directions? Then take a sharp left and right through my blade" :D
After playing Middle-earth Shadow of War, I was looking for something similar then this game caught my eye. I have to say it's one of the best rpg game I have played in a long while. It has deep story and mechanics, everything is well thought out. my only complaint is sometimes movement and combat feels a little janky but still didnt stop me from playing more :D
A really fun strategy game with simple mechanics and it's a roguelite as well which is a nice twist.
Mad Max is underrated maybe because it plays similar to Arkham and Middle-earth games in some ways. But unlike those two I found the combat and driving more satisfying. For example, Gotham city feels congested you can't fully or freely drive the Batmobile or maybe it's just me I mean you can glide as well so the car doesn't have much of a purpose. Where as in Mad Max good luck traversing the vast wasteland on foot. The combat in the Middle-earth series seems a bit too overpowered once you get all the upgrades. I feel as if I am cheating my way through. This is not to say both games are bad they are pretty good in their own right. But I feel as if Mad Max isn't totally bad either yes, it's repetitive but it's not the bad kind of repetitiveness to it if that makes sense. It might not be as mind-blowing but it does one thing really well it's a fun game nevertheless :)
Being an old fan of the series I have both KOF 98 Unlimited Match Final Edition and KOF 2002 Unlimited Match. I can't recommend one over the other so if you have either of those games, its best to have them both. The reason being in my opinion is simple they both play very differently and have tons of characters. The KOF 98 UMFE is a bit slower paced has fewer combos perfect for newcomers and if you want to try out new strategies etc. Once you have mastered good amount of skills with couple of characters and want to take your skills to the next level. That's where KOF 2002 UM comes in, it is faster paced and has more complex fighting system. Even though I played the heck out of one game over the other I still find myself switching back and forth it just both of them are quite good.
Being a fan of the series, in my humble opinion this is one of the most complete experiences. There's a lot of move sets to practice with tons of characters. Although I don't have anyone to play with nor I have tried online, mostly playing against the CPU from time to time is still fun. There's no story but I find the game to be quite replayable with endless mode, singeplay, teamplay and challenge. Nevertheless, the nostalgic trip was already worth getting it, but if you are a first-time buyer if the old graphics don't bother you or you are a retrogamer, then I assure you this is easily one of the best fighting games in existence.
This probably one of those games you have on Steam but want you want the full ownership. For me personally, wanted a drm-free game and for some reason the gog version runs better. Even though it is missing quite a few features but if you really like the game, on sale I say its worth getting in my opinion.
