I only found this game because of the wii u version, i bought it on both wii u, and on steam, i suggest also porting it to ps vita, and ps3/ps4 i'd buy it gladly on all platforms for the cost of only $10 each. I greatly like the sound of this game with online multiplayer as this is the only limiting factor of this game in my opinion. I personally have friends i have come over or i bring my laptop and plugin ps4 & xbox one controllers into the pc then hdmi it out to a big screen when i go to friends places, This game is fun dont get me wrong, just it currently in its state demands you take extra steps like i have to have a multiplayer experience. As for the gameplay.. Pros: - Fun (for just $10? cant beat it) - Graphics are easy on the eyes, its a "Unique" mech genre (Remember that mech game on toonami on web browser called Lockdown? Greatly reminds me of this game minus the turn based and more real time this time) - Reminds me of bullet storm in its own respects - Has a unique and in...

About This Game
It's 2147 and the human colony on Europa has suffered a terrible fate. Rebooting after hibernation, two super-intelligent AI cores awake to find themselves installed within a couple of old security drones. Their attempts to uncover what occurred may end up becoming a lower priority than merely surviving...

Lots of robots, lots of lasers, lots of aliens, lots of explosions! The numerous retro arcade influences are front and center, but spiced up with a colorful modern style, a generous helping of sci-fi intrigue, and a dash of RPG ELEMENTS!
- Don't fight alone! Up to 4 players can battle together in local co-op, but you'll always have your trusty (AI-controlled) robo-buddies by your side.
- Story mode sees you battle through a ton of handcrafted levels as you attempt to shed light on the calamity that befell the colony.
- Arcade mode is a straight up arena-shooter, where you battle wave after endless wave of the alien horde.
- Versus mode pits you against up to 3 friends (or AI controlled bots - If your friends are wasting their time doing something other than playing Dual Core).
A gamepad is recommended, but full mouse & keyboard controls (customisable) are available.

I really enjoy this game. Enough RPG-like elements to keep it interesting, but simple enough that even my kids can co-op with me. Fun and intense arcade and PvP modes also. Definitely worth my monies. Also, the music !!
First impressions, this a good fun game. It's fairly simple to play, no complicated controls (I use mouse and keyboard, but I understand it's designed for controllers). I've only played single player so far, but I'll let the kids loose on this tommorow for some local coop and update review then. So far so good.
I bought this game looking for something short and fun. My interest was in the single-player storyline. And I enjoyed playing it. I divided my skill points between me and my ai companion corby. The only problem I had with the storyline was when I got to the last couple levels of the game. The game decided to have the enemies infinitely spawn in some areas. Up until that point I had enjoyed thoroughly clearing out the levels, collecting the crates, and reading the story messages. But when I got near the end, the enemies seemed to never stop spawning. I started to lose my desire to fight, and started just running past all the enemies. I looked this game up on youtube, and I discovered that I had actually quite playing on the last level. But up until that point, I had fun. I'm sure there are people out there that enjoy being under non-stop assault. But I tend to be slow and thorough when I play games.
I'm clearly not much of a gamer -- my grandkids whup up on me and laugh about it. However, Dual Core is just a really fun time. Good story line attached to nearly continuous action, a bit of a puzzle here and there and a variety of challenges. The graphics are exceptional. At first, I found it a bit awkward to quickly shift in the various weapons using the hand controller, but I think that's a personal problem. A hardcore enthusiast might plow through much of this game in a few intense hours, but for the rest of us, Dual Core provides a lot of hours of just plain fun exploring the site while banging away at evil robots with lots of inventive weapons. I highly recommend this game!
I think this game is a good local coop game not sure how it is online yet as that is still in beta. You can level up your bot by collecting the green gems also you can level up teammates also instead of just leveling up yourself. The game has a local versus mode and it also has a horde style arcade mode. The main reason I bought this game is becuase it has a demo and I tried the demo with my 6 year old and he seemed to like it. I know we can return games on steam now but I don't like having to purchase then return games I'd much rather have demos so I think that is a nice positive from this developer.
The visuals of this game is really what got me interested in the first place. Lovely hand crafted stylish art that all works together beautifully. The top-down look brings me back to the Amiga days but with a much more modern look that takes advantage of modern computers. Personally I don't have much experience with game play in the genre so I can't give too much helpful feedback on difficulty or progression. I first played arcade mode and it felt like the pace and increase in difficulty was well thought through not engaging the player in too long sessions so it's fun to chase new highscores. I only had time to quickly try story mode so I'm looking forward to play further into the story as soon as time allows. I was playing with mouse and keyboard but I think I'll have to bring back my controller that my friend has borrowed so I can test it out with dual stick =)

This is a really good, yet strangely unkown, twin stick shooter. And I honestly can't see the reason why there is not much hype for this game. The graphics are well done handdrawn style with appealing effects layed all over it, the music is good and pumping and apart from very few ones missing here and there even the sound effects are quite good. The controls are perfectly responsible. There are only very few times when you get stuck on a corner and that's nothing that can't be flattened out by upgrading your robots speed so it can run and turn faster. The game itself is split into three parts. Not only can you immerse yourself in an intruiging story mode featuring many big maps full of enemies, hidden corners, traps and even little riddles to solve. Furthermore there also is an arena style arcade mode with highscore system added and a versus mode. So there is a lot to do here too for up to four players simultaneously in online or couch coop mode. What I personaly did like most about...
