gameplay
14 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay is praised for its unique and engaging terrain-lowering/raising mechanic, which is creatively integrated into exploration, platforming, and boss fights. While movement can feel a bit slow and floaty, the overall fast pace and easy-to-learn mechanics offer a fun and refreshing FPS experience with just enough story to maintain interest.
“The terrain-moving mechanics are cool, used to good effect (especially with most of the bosses), and while movement can be a bit slow and floaty, the game itself is quick-paced enough to make up for it.”
“The game starts with a fun and interesting core mechanic, hexagonal moving platforms and from there just expands outward.”
“This is four keys and multiple game mechanics for, uh, an equivalent of a simple rocket jump?”
“Convoluted and poorly-executed game mechanics?”
“There are some pretty cool uses of the terrain lowering/raising mechanic too, like raising and lowering bits of the rails so that they'll give you enough momentum to be launched where you want to go, and that underwater boss fight where you use that mechanic to destroy the boss's limbs and damage it.”
