Bot Vice plays like an homage to games like Wild Guns with an aesthetic that feels equal parts Mega Man X and TMNT. You have guns, a melee attack, a dodge and a cover mechanic to take down waves of robots and cyborgs. Gameplay gets overwhelming in a hurry as you have to deal with bullet hell levels of suppressive fire unless you can crowd control in a hurry. The game also incourages speed running as most levels can be completed in ~60-90 seconds and you're graded based on your completion time. Once you finish the 25 levels you unlock 25 harder bonus missions to take on as well. Toss in some achievements that require you to complete levels certain ways and there's a lot of challenging old school replayability here. Game can be frustrating due to some brutally hard enemy patterns and the autoaim mechanic not being able to lead targets that are moving or obscured by cover. Also if you play it for several hours you may experience pain holding RB+A the entire time so remember to take a break now and then. All in all a fantastic Wild Guns like game.
