If I were to descibe the game in dry terms I would've said something about Quake-esque shooter in a fantasy setting. Probably I would've mentioned something about eye-candy levels, each being more and more ridiculous and grandiose than previous one. I also would've mentioned wide variety of enemies. But it's not about that. It's about throwing planets at evil knights and fighting in a giiant fishtank against an evil eel. It's about smashing through clanking cogs of robots on last drops of your soul powerup. It's about simple, responsive and fun shooting and that's all that matters.
Left an impression, bugs were'nt much of a hindrance.
The ending was a bit rushed tho and lack of gameplaymechanics to fill in the gaps was very present. Still, I like that the game ended just before I started resenting it.
I't one of the few games I finished, which is a high praise from me.
I could go on and on on how shooting is meh, enemies are bullet sponges and they bore you with outposts. But shooting is bearable and is enough for telling the story. I'm satisfied. Plust infiltrator mode was biggest umpf for me. Being the big bad robot... mmm!
Shooting is good and fun, but platforming is so annoying that I'm inclined to quit the game. Your character has momentum and you have to counteract it if you don't want to slide off a platform as a piece of wet soap. To make things worse most annoying sections are right above lava which treats you with load screen 60 times a minute. To make things worse, lava platforming sections are drawn in muddy and not very distinctive pallete which makes it actually hard to make out platforms! As for shooter part. Dude, on the bathhouse level there's a place where you are let out in a huge arena. As soon as you enter, fast pased music starts playing and LITERAL HORDES are being piped into the room. And they get locked in one room with you, MUAHAHAHAHA! Enemy amount. ammo, guitar riffs - it's done just right. That's worth an erection. tl;dr shooting done good, platforming done so bad, it made me quit
I'm 3/4 on the game completion, haven't finished it yet. But puzzles becoming brutal. Yet it feels so good when you've beaten a level. Plus hte game allows you to look at your progress and see how you made it in the end. Worth it.
I still feel like I can play through the first game but second loses me in seconds. Awful.
Game is quick to turn into bloody mess where you struggle to make out who hit who. Given it's do-redo nature lack of understanding when i'm hit and how much health or energy left is... well. Also ame is full of effects. While they are a bold and noticeable on their own, together they create a mishmash of feedback that makes me struggle fighting one enemy. Enemy is considered a boss, btw. But you can skip me, I'm just not getting hard for these types of games.
