No story, no rogue-like, just GRAPHIKZ(tm) inside. And no entering training, you just thrown into the fire and this is all the fun (for developers, i suppose). Controls are pain, it doesn't work either on controller or keyboard/mouse. Enemies can drift and quickly change direction to avoid fire, but you got fingers cracked and twisted to do so. You must die to use collected credits, you lost all you produce/make during run. All this without any point and fun. It's just annoying. I've played FTL, it's hard, but really immersive. And it definitely doesn't need cut down 3D version.
It's fascinating. I'm not that good at typing in English, but game take its grip on me. I managed to play through having great joy. There were few bummers though. I was need to switch keyboard layout to type in magic type and fast switch it back to continue fight; it really got annoying on higher levels. Also I left with filling (and hope) that game could have part two and even more.
Story told not well. It even not started to unfold when game ends. Weapons... strange choice, could be done better, but still playable. Time powers - to get grasp on them one need to run through game several times, focused tutorial would be really good thing.
Your main enemy is camera: always moving to point in wrong direction. After I've used to controls game ended real quick. There were a lot of accidental crashes and I've stuck not able to start one level - game constantly crashed. Perpetrator was video player used in gamae: I've remove *LOAD video files under FMV folder in game installation, "lost" pictures for loading screen, but can start that level.
Imagine that you resurrect dead game back to life and that what you get. Long loading times and resource heaviness - I'm fine with that. Weird gameplay - well... it's almost ok. But game is glitchy: graphics freeze and sound goes on, I hear control keys do respond. It can crash for no reason at the middle of level and save are auto (there quick save feature I've even have no chance to get used to). "Story" and "action" dynamics is the very weak point of the game: you move slowly have no appropriate weapons to effectively fight. This game is for real zombie one.
There no mystery story I was promised by trailer, in fact it looks like there no story at all, just some historical stuff. Tactical combat and map clicking. That's all. Story is more of historical western. So there two cons out of the box: not my setting and not my game genre. And there little annoying things you constantly get: in setup stage you have no limitation on movement, but you forced to switch between characters; when you start tactical episode you see no enemies at all, even if by story you saw them first and only then engage. Controls should be polished too.
