PROS: [*] A lot of wapons to use (6 differents with special attacks) [*] Every character have a special power when dashing [*] Awesome rock music [*] Comic style mixed with painting with gives a 16bits arcade game style. [*] A story branch to choose CONS: [*] Every character has only one life [*] Quite short (can pass all the game in 1 hour Oertall, if you like what you read, buy it, its quite good

I don’t write reviews usually, but this game is one of my favourites of all time (plus Serious Sam DD). I used to play them on the 360 before it got the red ing of death, was happy to replay them here on steam. The art is so unique (like heavy metal fan art, but in a good way). It just feels great to play, it is funny and original. The gun mechanics added to the ‘run n gun’ style is unique and interesting. I love just to relax and play these games. It is so refreshing to find a unique voice like this in games. This game was my introduction to indie games and is still one of my favourites. I’m a fan of Mommy’s Best Games, highly recommended.

Short, fun, fast and action packed with great music. Not the best by MBG but for a low price it can offer a few hours of good quality fun. Especially if you try to complete all the achievements.

I'm gonna keep my review short, sweet, and simple. Weapon of Choice falls on the HIGH end of mediocre. I'd go as far as calling it 'good enough'. The gameplay is kind of generic. Very simple. The story is.... Kinda blah. Nothing special. The art style is vibrant and very alien/mutant. Interesting monsters and bosses. Big plus there. It's got interesting gameplay mechanics, like the 'rescue system' where you find an ally and carry them to safety. And, the spider-pack was kinda fun. No more obscure firing angles! The near miss 'death brushing' system was definitely interesting. I don't recall anything else like it. Unusual characters with vastly differening weapon and play styles. Kinda nice. Just needs MORE characters! The game is short. Crazy short. Replayability and branching paths only go so far. But my favorite feature of the game? The BRUTAL FREAKING METAL SOUNDTRACK!!!!!!! A lot of love went into the soundtrack and I was more than happy to slap down the 2 extra bucks to get it. It is good, classic, hard and fast metal. The way metal should be. Especially action-game music. Really driving and invigorating. The music saved this game, by me. 7/10~ Will play again if more content/sequel comes out. Seriously. The music is awesome. Buy the soundtrack too.

Man now this my kind of game!! Love the metal sound track and the graphics are absolutely stunning!! Way better than what you see in the demo. Such attention to detail and huge cool bosses!!. See that means the devs really care about what type of product they are putting out and that means a lot to me. I just love little small details in the back ground. Trees swaying, enemies breathing all that. Controls great too with a Xbox controller.Kind of reminds me of the old school Contra for the SNES. Great selection of weapons and characters too. And what a steal at only $4.99!! I could say more but i'm about to dive deeper into this sweet little game!! Go buy this game and support these devs!! Haha :D
