Fun pew-pew times that you could experience even in cooperative multiplayer. I'm not the type of guy who cares a lot about lore/story/aesthetics, but I can appreciate good ones and here these are a killer. And the sound design and voice acting are also a banger. Looks like the genre of top-down shooters is one of my favourites. Similar solid fun games: Helldivers Alien Swarm/Reactive Drop Red Hot Vengeance Similar bad/flawed games: Hatred Made in Canada. <3

Not bad for its age recommend to get it on sale if you like top/down shooter 🟢 CO-OP/SOLO top-down shooter with great game play 🟢 Good graphics 🟢 3 different classes provide 3 different play styles 🟢 Variety of weapons with upgrade option 🔴 Being a linear campaign, it's very short (4~5 hours, although it is replayable 🔴 Okay story

not my usual type of game but really fun. story is kind of cheesey but it feels like a game ,like something you want to close and come back to the next day and not like a chore (my subjective take on other top down games)

Livelock pros: //fast game with modern day graphics with easy controls that moves from location A to B to C and so on //good amount of action and special effects cons: //a lot of difficult battles/objectives //some overpowered enemies //some enemies have unfair attacks //could use more health drops, powerups, and upgrade parts //sometimes too many enemies constantly spawn //upgrades require a lot of resources //collecting resources are a grindfest //somewhat repetitive //some lack of directions/instructions //could use more permanent upgrades //good game Personal Suggested Purchase Price: $1.49 Or Less During Sale

I want to like it... I want to like it. The game has some solid production value with nice shiny graphics, lots of unlockables, loadouts a la Call of Duty, voice-acted characters with their own personalities, tons of bullets all over, etc. etc. Basically, this game has a lot going for it. A LOT. I just don't like it. I tried this in the hope that it would be a nice twin-stick shooter, and it is. The core gameplay is just too similar to virtually all twin-stick shooters: Shoot. Dodge. Run. Shoot some more. I personally found that the addition of a story, the surprisingly good graphics for the genre, and all of its production value simply doesn't do quite enough to get me past the same gameplay that I'm personally very tired of. I'll recommend the game simply for the good parts of it, because my own bias doesn't deny that the game itself is good. If you love a good twin sticker, you'll probably enjoy the heck out of this. I'm happy to look for something else and let other people enjoy it.
