I want to like the game, I really do. But, at least for me, it just doesn't function 90% of the time. Whether I'm in the training yard or a match, the moves just don't work.

In the training yard, I follow the ghost hands exactly, and get no effect. Doesn't matter how I turn my hands, how fast or slow I move, none of it matters in the end. I work up a sweat and no rocks move.

In the match, my opponent was kind enough to realize I was struggling, and tried to help me through it. I followed his moves exactly as he showed them. Every time, he got the intended effect. Every time, I got nothing.

When things do work, it is super cool. But they more often than not just don't work.

An enjoyable entry into the 'tide series of games. Fun with friends, less so on you own, at least in my opinion.

Honestly, best 10 minutes of my life. Great "game" with a great story. Kinda sad that you can't go back and talk to Lilith again, but honestly, I'm glad I picked this up. Most people will tell you there aren't enough cats, but those people are wrong. 10/10 game, would give it an 11/10, but there were too many cats.

Yeah, it's pretty good I guess. I don't know, I haven't really played it long enough to say; I've barely beaten the game once.

This game is amazing. Played 10 hours in my first session, had so much fun that I lost all track of time. Highly recommended, particularly if you have friends to play with.

Recommendation is less enthusiastic if you are playing solo, as the bots are difficult to work with at times. But it is still a fun game to play, even on your own. Looking forward to playing more.

Really neat game, lots of fun with friends. Even more so if you go full tactical and use the in game radio.

The weapon selection is a bit more restrictive than I would like. But it is Pre-Alpha, so I'm assuming we'll see more weapons as time goes on. The customization system is awesome though, giving you full control over what kind of gear you bring in. Overall, can't wait to see where this goes.

This game is a frustrating piece of crap. You are expected to make quick jumps onto tiny platforms, with barely enough room to stop yourself from going over the edge. And when you finally do it, guess what happen? You get shot by an enemy off screen that you could not possibly have known would be there.

And they don't even bother to tell you the controls.

This game is worth maybe $2, and even then only if you really like to yell at your screen because you have no way to change the sensitivity of your movement and you keep falling off of cliffs. For the price they charge, stay the hell away.

Great game, with tons of replayability due to the psudo-random nature of the game. Well worth the cost.

This game is a blast with friends. You don't know who to trust, and it is always fun to hear people curse you after you successfully slaughter them. 10/10 game, such a good time for such a low cost.

The gameplay is quite good, but the story is a resounding meh. One thing I see a lot of people do is compare this game to the Armoured Core games. Now, I never played Armoured Core so I can only take them at their word for whether or not that is a fair comparison. What I can say is that this isn't Armoured Core. It never claimed to be Armoured Core. So judging it by saying "It's not Armoured Core" is a disservice to the game.

I will say, while most of the missions are fairly well balanced, and are quite easy if you have the right gear, there are some missions that are downright impossible without the right gear. And there are some missions, specifically near the end, where it is just downright unfair and un-enjoyable. For reference, I want you to imagine the strongest weapon you can take. It has limited ammo, is somewhat difficult to use effectively, and you can only have one of it. Now go fight an enemy that has six of those as its default weapon, with unlimited ammo.

I honestly don't feel right saying I recommend this game, but at the same time would feel wrong saying I don't. I mostly just want to put my experience out there for others to see, maybe even for the devs to see. The game is pretty good, but would need a lot of work to be called great.
