Nice difficulty options to suit everyone as has 5 different options that change gameplay experience alot from very easy to super hard is nice.
Characters that you can play is nice as there is 9 which are all different in look and all have own stats, starting weapons and all have own feel to them.
Enemies are impressive as there is 150+ varieties to them all have own look and own attacks to learn.
Bosses and mini bosses are cool as all have own look and own attacks in order to beat them.
Weapons are impressive as big variety to them all have own look and all have own stats and own feel to them and nice that doesn’t destroy previous weapon meaning can experiment with new weapons without being stuck with weapon you might not like.
Perks are impressive as their is 350+ items which include passives and one time uses like nuclear bombs and so many more options liked the when level up can upgrade your base damage is good as base gun has unlimited ammo.
Some of the levels can be short and runs can be not very long which hurts replayability as same end boss and can complete some runs in less then 30 mins.
