FAN ART
Story is interesting and weird.
Controls are easy to understand and easy to pick up and play by everyone.
Difficulty options are nice and suit everyone as even on easy setting is challenging.
Enemies are cool as alot of variety to them and all have own attacks to learn to avoid and all have own look to them.
Nostalgic vibes very old school feel to the game.
Elements are cool as can make own build and swap it out to try new builds on your weapons and all clear and easy to understand.
Fun playing solo as you get an AI companion which you can swap to play as and they can be given own upgrades and elements to benefit your abilities and skills and very fun with friends as just nostalgic and fun.
Weapons, abilities don’t have alot of feedback or impact when used makes them feel not very special to use.
Easy to get lost and be not sure best way to get to the objective as would of liked a waypoint or navigation marker to help.
OVERALL SUMMARY
Overall story is weird, interesting and controls are easy to understand with nice difficulty options that are nice and challenging even on easy setting and enemies all have own look to them and alot of variety and all have own attacks to learn to avoid them and has alot of old school nostalgia and elements are fun as can make own build to suit own playstyle and the game is fun solo or co op with friends. However for £13.99, the weapons, abilities don’t have alot of feedback or impact when used which makes them feel not very special to use and easy to get lost as not sure best way to get to the objective as needs a way point system or navigation system to get to objectives.
