MilitAnt

Militant is a really cool concept of a game, unfortunately ruined by harsh flaws. Only 45 minutes? Let me explain... To start, The game was obviously made for handheld (PS Vita) in mind. It has very high-res Pixar quality cut-scenes and then really bad texture work in the actual game. Level design really hearkens to the PS1 days, obstacles and such, it almost feels Crash Bandicoot-ish in a way. The character designs are well done, they are cool and make sense. The gameplay is more or less a 2D side-scrolling platformer with shooting elements. The thing that this game does differently is that you can shoot things in the background and they can shoot at you. The main character is pretty cool and there is a pretty cool way of upgrading your gun. Since you have 4 arms, you can switch out weapons. It's a pretty cool way of replacing the invisible backpack way of things we usually see in shooters. My first problem with the game is the process of changing resolution to 4K, the option is ...

Really bad game, I don't get why good run and gun games are so hard to find. The premise is cool, you are an ant fighting in a war against other bug species, but there are massive flaws that hold this game back from being fun. -Controls are unresponsive, you must have good controls in a game like this and this one does not. The controls feel slippery, jumping is incredibly imprecise, and the combat in general feels unresponsive. To me this is a fatal flaw and completely inexcusable. 2d controls were perfected 30 years ago, I can't see how trashy controls like this are still a thing. -Bad control scheme, the firing in this game is weird. It is like a twin stick in that the right analog stick aims, but unlike other games in this genre you don't have to constantly aim, instead you have to point the stick at an enemy and your character locks on to that enemy. While useful in fighting bosses it makes the regular combat feel clunky and awkward, a lock on button would have done the jo...

After playing a while and testing and trying to get into this game, the basic idea and level design is nice and definitely worth a look. But there are so many annoying beginner developer flaws - and not sure if they are going to be fixed soon. Those flaws make this game entirely annoying and completely unfair. I love challenging games, but this one here feels wobbly and has quite imprecise controls. Especially a game where you need to be in absoutely full control of your perfect double jumps and reactions. I play with a Razer Wildcat and never had any problem with other platformers (except the bad designed ones). Not with this game: Double Jumps are 100% random - and when your first jump turns out to be accidentally "double" and you jump into dangerous vines this is simply not fun. These frustrating experiences have a really bad taste. If I manage to finish a level it's not like I think I played good - but just had some luck in a series when the controls did not suck that much. It's ...

The game is not easy as we are used to play them nowadays, but if you like a challenger platfformer with guns get on this title. Rigth now Im speed running and planning to post a WR soon

Excelent game! Very addictive and fun. Completely recommend it.
