I recommend this game with a very large disclaimer: it's hard and you have to be willing to accept that.

Is this game perfect? No. Is it still worth playing? Yes, and here's why:

Riddled Corpses is a throw back to the arade games of the late 80's: mutants, zombies, and Engrish. It's a frenetic twin-stick shooter that demands zen-like concentration at times and a willingness to invest a few hours of grinding as well.

The grinding is what polarizes peoples opinions of this game. "Grinding? In an arcade shooter?" Yup. In order to get stronger and to get sub-weapons, you need cash. You get cash by killing enemies. Survival Mode is the best place to get cash. So you'll spend quite a bit of time there. See, at that point, RC becomes a score grind which reminds me of classic Atari-age shooters where the score was all that mattered. For that, I'm cool with it.

The graphics are bright, varied, and colorful. Enemy design is nice. The music is pretty good. It controls as well as it should. It's just the grinding. Raw skill only gets you so far with RC, and while some feel that it's a poor design choice having to grind for more firepower, it needs to be addressed that if it wasn't for the grinding and steep difficulty, this game would be over in a single sitting offering little replay value.

If you can accept nut-punchingly difficult shooting and a required sense of dedication, this game is worth the purchase.
