Fun with a Steep Learning Curve

The title says it all, but I should probably write some more. A bullet list seems appropriate for this four year old PS+ game.

I played it on Vita and overall had some fun. I will do my best to explain the type of game it is.

It's an Indie run and gun, rogue lite ish (I guess), difficult sci-fi platformer. I don't know what I'm talking about, maybe the game is trying to be too much...

Here are some pros:

  • Fun indie pixel graphics
  • Good on a portable device
  • Weapon selection is fun and diverse
  • Baddies look cool and they mutate the longer they survive (hell yeah)
  • Grenades are fun to use but difficult to master
  • Jumping seems responsive, good controls.
  • Fun on Vita. Other consoles (PS4) may be fun, I'm not sure
  • Fun in short sessions
  • Nice use of colors

Cons:

  • Very steep learning curve when they throw in traps right away
  • Health meter is a little small
  • Level design is compact but not super well developed (e.g. baddies could be jumping around in a section of the level that is hard to access/throw grenades into.
  • Too difficult from the beginning, not a lot here to make me …

  • Too difficult from the beginning, not a lot here to make me want to keep playing and potentially rage quit
  • Health powerups are not present in the first three levels
  • Getting juggled around by enemies attacking you
  • Small enemy hit boxes

Overall I would give it 3/5. Not bad but not quite enough to make me want to finish it.

Really good challenge, nice use of colors and graphics, I like it so far on Vita. Did I mention challenging? Small maps and small hit boxes add to this.
