Game play is OK. For the amount of time this has been teased its very unfortunate that the content is vastly limited. The asking price is much too high for the Early Access state this game is in. Not sure why this has garnered so many positive reviews (most I see received product for free), as I find it extremely limited, and dull. Hell Divers, Alienation, and many others do twin stick shooters better. Wait for full release before spending the $$$ on this.

No save in the survival mode? One can't be expected to play continuously for hours if you never die xD And no way to come back in if the player 2 drops out by mistake... The melee attack doesn't work sometimes. Is the execution class based? weapon based? Weapon comparison could be better with an object dropped on the floor Needs more work on variety of monsters The Graphics settings got auto reset . Heal skill glitched on the engineer one time. Had to buy another skill to swap to fix it.
So far so good looking forward to it's progression. (Gauntlet + Diablo / Quake)
This is not a game, it's a proof of concept, and it should not be sold for $24.99. If it were free, I still wouldn't recommend it. It's the bare-bones functionality of a twin stick shooter with no systems or mechanics that engage the player. There are a handful of skills that are poorly balanced, upgrading them does nothing but "more of the thing." There are multiple classes of guns, and any singular assault rifle is interchangeable with any other assault rifle. What's the point of having 5 differently named assault rifles if they're all the same? Yes, at some point, they come with "perks" which don't meaningfully affect gameplay in any way. As a matter of fact, there isn't much gameplay. Yes, the twin-stick mechanics feel pretty good. However, there's nothing engaging here. The campaign consists of running from point to point, shooting some monsters. There are no in-depth systems with which to engage. Levelling is meaningless, getting higher statted guns is meaningless, boss battles ...
a scifi arpg that doesnt save progress. WTF? overhyped big time. Imagine diablo with guns, but your character doesnt save after you get off.
The game is fun. I like the fluidity of the game play, feels smooth. I can't wait to try co-op when the game is fully released. Definitely recommend getting the early access and supporting the devs on this one. I saw the planning for their updates and look forward to the next patch update. I do think the enemies are easy to easy to beat even on hard mode. I would like to see more chaos on the screen as I'm running and gunning but that's just my personal preference.
[Do note that this is an aging recommendation, as the devs have added a good deal of playable content that I haven't gotten around to trying yet!] This game is very limited in the Stuff & Things department-- There's a very limited set of things to /do/. But it seems evident to me that the reason for that is because they have spent all of the time so far making sure that the shooting and hit detection work like they should. The result is a very smooth and satisfying twin-stick shooting experience... on either one of two tile sets-- jungle or tech-base-in-a-volcano! But again, the core game is very competent. All they have to do at this point is build content around the very strong combat and they will have a real winner. Although even if they abandoned it right now, I'd probably still come back and visit the holo chamber now and then. Edit: There is a recently-posted roadmap including some campaign missions coming this fall, and the current public beta includes a third cave til...
I'm a big fan dual-stick shooters. This game has a very solid interface built that is fun to play and provides a variety of weapons and play styles. I'd like to see a lower difficulty level to make it more accessible to friends on my sofa who don't play these games like I do. I highly recommend this game to fans of the genre. I can't wait to see what you do to it next.
Very interesting twin stick shooter with lots of potential. The team behind the game is really listening to players and their ideas for the game. I am excited to try the campaign and attempt to beat my current floor record of 57. Juggernaut FTW!
needed a good looter shooter and this is pretty nice so far. hope for the best from these guys to get it done! there isnt much to do but for what is there is nice and fun! lots of guns and loot to collect atm.
