Saturday morning cartoon version of Control (complimentary). A bit janky but the story and voice acting more than make up for it imo

Like the game, but happy i bought it on sale, so giving postive review with that in mind. But is way to repetetive, since every run is almost the same.

Very pleasant co-op top down shooter. Controls feel tight and responsive (that's a problem for about half the games in this genre). Up to 3 players in a game, still not too hard to play solo. Gameplay wise, the biggest hurdle is the general lack of reliable healing except one gun (the SMG) that has a healing weapon perk. This limits build variety since NOT taking the SMG for healing as one of your two guns kneecaps you. The characters and humor in the story also click with me. Story bits unlock with tokens gained during the missions, but you play the dialogues or read the data files between the missions so there's no time pressure or anybody waiting on you to absorb it. I haven't run into any bugs. If you have very high ping to the host (250+) then multiplayer gets real annoying; you can roll away from an attack (gives I-frames) but get hit anyway while your dead body still lands at the end of your roll. Lowish ping and that's not a problem. There's also one spot - the lab with fire vortices turned on - where it gets framey (but still playable). Besides that one spot, I've no other performance issues - buttery smooth. I think $20 is a pretty fair price for this. I got it on sale for $5 and I've definitely gotten MORE than I paid for.

I can understand where some of the hate is coming from. Honestly if it hadn't been 75% off I doubt I would have picked it up. But for a $20 game it feels pretty shallow. The gameplay is fairly smooth, although it's a bit janky using ranged weapons on stairs. Some of the terrain models are a bit "Sticky" so moving around objects while in a fight can be kind of tough. The learning curve isn't too bad and the unlocks are pretty generous so after a few runs you'll have made some good progress. Unfortunately, this game suffers from the same problem that I feel a lot of rogue-lites do and that is balance... This was my progression through the game... 1st Run - Starter Assault Rifle (Not Bad), Starter Pistol (BAD!) 2nd Run - Bought a Pump Shotgun (Just...Okay) 3rd Run - Sniper Rifle (Decent)... put a suppressor on it (Very Good) 4th Run - Bought an upgrade to run both Sniper Rifle and Assault Rifle... set a new PB (First Boss/room #4) 5th Run - Bought a Sub Machine Gun (Great)... found out that it has a heal mod and a half second reload (Broken AF!) game turned into easy mode and cleared the run without any real challenge. So TL;DR... If you can get the game for 5 or 10 bucks, it's worth it and after your first run unlock the Sub Machine Gun for easy mode.

Absolutely fantastic twinstick, I haven't played one this good since the OG Helldivers. They really get what the genre is about and the unlock system doesn't feel obnoxious, you always get enough to go in with something new so it never feels like a "dead run". Great game, I picked it up on sale for five bucks I would have paid the full 20 for it if I had known about this game sooner.
