It's actually not even good.

I do like aspects of this game. The presentation is kinda retro feel and it doesn't need a crummy CRT filter to do it, so they score at least a few points there. There isn't a moment of tedium - the enemies press fast and it keeps you moving which keeps you engaged.

It follows a predictable formula of random upgrade options as you gather XP motes and use them for random Powers, and you gain permanent currency in Coins to spend after rounds for Stat boosts like Regen, Power, Armor, Cooldown, Etc. RNG causes various "main" weapons to spawn and you can carry 1.

Unfortunately the entirety of the game is discovered in a few minutes, then the realization sets in that outside of dodging and RNG there really isn't much going on.

Big issue is that you can only run. So it limits you to basically running, picking up whatever guns spawn, hoping it's good, lasting as long as you can, spending your coins for an upgrade (you need to grind minimum 3-4 rounds per upgrade minimum) and then doing that forever. There's nothing else.

Some of the guns are just laughable. They don't even have names or labels or anything so I'm just going to say the "green one that does triple-pop-gun-shot" is laughable. It shoots 3 peas a second and 21 things spawn per second. Or you IDK just get the Raiden Laz0r and then you're a killing machine. So you feel the unfairness at all times.

Like, blow the 0.77 CAD that I did and are you out that much? Not really. But even at that Sale price I paid it's not worth it.

I'm going to "beat" the game now because I got fooled into playing this long and I figure I can blast though for another 30 minutes.

It's not good, really. There are good aspects but what actually counts is gameplay and it's paper-thin in that area.

edit: I played more but nope. This game isn't fun and I refuse to play anymore.
