  • story
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story is minimal and lacks depth, with no tutorial or significant plot to engage players. While the campaign includes various missions and side-quests, the focus is primarily on action rather than narrative, leading to a lack of character attachment. Players noted that the absence of audio dialogue could enhance immersion, but overall, the gameplay remains enjoyable despite the story's shortcomings.

    • “The campaign has many enemies and bosses, side-quests which reward upgrades beside the main quest line.”
    • “It's been very fun and addictive for me so far, with a good upgrade system and replayable missions to keep me invested and engaged.”
    • “The game could benefit from some audio dialogue, to help get players involved in the story.”
    • “There is no story or tutorial.”
    • “Finally, the campaign is tossed in without any meat or real plot whatsoever.”
    • “There's no big story and you don't get attached to the characters of the game; it's all action, but I didn't really mind that.”

  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Gameplay reviews highlight a mix of opinions, noting that while the core mechanics are solid and the simplicity of destroying enemies and upgrading ships is enjoyable, the overall design lacks depth and polish. Some players appreciate the visuals and music, but criticize certain enemy mechanics as frustrating and poorly balanced. Overall, the gameplay is seen as a blend of good foundations with amateurish execution.

    • “I really like the simplicity of the gameplay - destroy stuff, earn credits and upgrade my ships to take on the harder enemies that appear later in the game.”
    • “Well polished gameplay and I love the art and music.”
    • “Cool visuals and upgrade mechanics, nice music!”
    • “There's very little depth to the gameplay.”
    • “The mechanics and gameplay are frankly awful.”
    • “I like the variety of enemies, but the critters feel like they could be adjusted. A lot of times I couldn't finish them fast enough, and I'm not sure how to kill them if you don't have seeking missiles. Once they get to you, they circle close around you, so I extend my arms and make big circles for a minute while they chase me until the missiles take care of them. It's a weird mechanic.”
  • music
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “I like the graphics, I like the sound and music, I like the environments.”
