Aug. 2024

Excellent game with incredibly good graphics and sound design, as well as a vast variety of enemies that you can control. While its story is relatively nonexistent, its arcade-style gameplay is addictive and strategic. Its main issues are technical ones from the engine getting long in the tooth and unable to support modern controllers and resolutions, though it also suffers from bad hitboxes in some cases, iffy balancing between levels, and annoying flicker effects. Nevertheless, it's worth the price of admission due to its very solid and fun core gameplay, and luckily you don't have to restart from scratch if you lose, as there are handy checkpoints throughout.

A great game!

HOnestly pretty confusing, but that's of little consequence when you enter a room with your tame droid squad and just start blasting AI's. Flavor text teases an interesting lore and a dark sense of humor loosely reminiscent of Portal's.

An arcade top down shooter with an interesting gimmick. Wreak havoc on your enemies until you have enough energy saved to wrest control of one of their droids and add it to your ever growing squad. The game isn't too complex and the difficulty rises gradually toward the later levels where it really takes a spike up. I'm not sure you're meant to make it far past 50, unless I was playing completely wrong. I'd have liked to see more of a way to command your legion or give them general instruction, as it is they just sort of meander around and shoot whatever wanders in. I'd have also liked either a bit more weapon energy or a faster recharge on many of the bots - shooting and then having to wait 2-4 seconds really breaks apart the flow of the action. Aside from my quality of life suggestions above, there are no real problems with the movement, sounds, music, or mechanics as they stand. It's well made for what it is. I think the standard price of $12.99 is a bit high for this however, I would only recommend it on a good sale to coop with a friend for an evening or two.
