July 2024
Gene shift auto: is a fantastic twin sticks roguelike battle royal, that is inspired by classic top down gta 1/2. Deluxe edition is the essential purchase, although you can play the free to play version. Developer still actively working on the title even though it was released on steam in 2017. Highly recommended for quick play sessions! 8/10. Average completion time: your mileage may vary Number of achievements: 40 Difficulty: chill/average Replay-ability: customisable Online playerbase: small
