Armed to the Gears

THE GAME IS NOT BAD! In fact it is very well made. It's just that there's basically nothing to do. I like it's style and what it has to offer, but as of now there are only 15 minutes of gameplay in its entirety. Kudos to the devs for showing us what they're capable of making. I may come back to this later. If multiplayer is implimented with a sizable progression system, then we may be talking about the next big thing.

The perfect combination of Top-down Shooter with Tower Defense AND MECH'S, really addictive game. The capture the flag/base style and the freedom to put turrets anywhere to defend/attack are really great idea's. Active dev who want's feedback, that's a right way to build a good community. Really recommended.

This game feels like a demo. There is virtually no customization and upgrades. There are like 4 weapons total, 3 different frames and 3 different legs. Each map is the same thing.

Nice top down mech shooter, here is my video with my first impressions, gameplay and a review at the end of the video ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rliw_BZ_m78

For the price, the quality of this game is very good. Not a ton of missions, but the graphics, sound and gameplay are very well done. The controls are easy to pick up, and the difficulty comes from the strategy of deciding where to commit resources for defences and where to attack. You can't defend all generators equally. The game runs well and the mech movement is very smooth. I'm very impressed with this game so far. It may not be something you'll sink 500 hours into, but the foundation for a really solid game is here.

I enjoyed both minutes of this game...literally like an hour of game play. No real mech customization either: thee different guns, 3 different armor types, and that's it. Looks good and plays well. Kind of like the start of a decent game? Just not enough bang for your buck here. Don't pay more than $5.

Decent look, no substance. It's playable, but there isn't really any reason to. Generic top-down shooter where you capture areas to be able to spawn useless turrets. Most of your time is spent just walking around slowly. I also really dislike the fact that your mech aims at the grown, and that you have to place the cursor dead center on enemies in order to attack them, otherwise your shooting at the ground behind them for example. I say skip this one sadly.

Mixing top down shooter and a tower defence could produce a good game, if only the devs cared enough to actually finish the game instead of releasing some kind of a tech demo. So, what do we have here? [list] [*] Mech customisation. It is barely above “non-existent”. “Technically” you have 4 primary weapons, but considering that only the last one is viable, all of them work almost the same and you can get any of them after the first or second mission - I would just say that there is one primary weapon in the game. 2 secondary options consist of one useless and one useful gun, so no real choice here either. You can swap armour, but even after trying everything I didn’t find any difference. You can swap legs for minor speed buffs/HP tradeoffs. And that’s it, no subsystems, no specials, no additional weapons even though you have a free hand, no choices of gear to make as there is nothing to choose from. [*] Shooting part. Basic, simple, generic. As I mentioned in the p...

Armed to the Gears is high simple mech game that tries to blend with a Tower Defense. You march onto a battlefield trying to conquer the command points, each one rewarding energy which can be used to build defenses or call in air strikes. The enemies will spawn in and try to take the command points back. Rinse and repeat. There is also a set of defense missions if you want to play for way too long. All-in-all, the "Fully featured campaign" is about 15 missions and a few hours of content. Completing missions will net you credits to... umm... maybe buy a single weapon or some fuel? It's hard to call this anything of customization or progression because you're spending money to swap between 4 dirt cheap weapons. One you own something you like... it just stops and you buy ammo. It's highly underwhelming. The problem is that there's a good core. Sometimes, there are moments where it feels that it's just getting good and then it stops... unable to stick the landing on any system. All o...

I REALLY love this game and concept. There are only 3 levels where within 40 minutes EASILY can played true. It would be awesome to have support for multiplayer and cummunity maps.
