story3 negative mentions
  • The game features engaging car combat with a variety of vehicles and weapons, providing a fun and fast-paced experience.
  • Resource management and base building elements add depth to the gameplay, making it more strategic and rewarding.
  • Despite its low-budget graphics, the game has a unique charm and is enjoyable, especially for fans of the genre.
  • The gameplay can become repetitive and tedious, particularly due to slow resource collection and limited enemy variety.
  • There are known bugs, such as enemies not despawning properly, which can affect gameplay experience.
  • The game lacks clear instructions and explanations for some mechanics, leading to confusion and trial-and-error gameplay.
  • story
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is centered around a mission to decontaminate a planet using probes, with players experiencing a well-structured campaign that draws them in through engaging cutscenes and unique mission details. However, the narrative lacks a definitive ending, as players ultimately go into hibernation only to awaken to renewed threats, creating a sense of ongoing conflict. Additionally, there are extra challenge missions that can be unlocked and played cooperatively, enhancing the overall experience.

    • “The opening and cut scenes share a lot of info and the details behind the missions are unique.”
    • “Other users are saying 'complete' like this because there is technically no ending; you decontaminate the crater you're in, then go into hibernation (I'm assuming this is what the story will do), then wake up some time later to find the enemies have started to actively attack your HQ, along with having 'contaminated' the crater once again.”
    • “The story is simple enough: a bunch of probes were dropped to decontaminate the planet from something.”
    • “Also, the mission/campaign is well thought out to get sucked into the story.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are rated around 7/10, characterized by early-3D-era visuals that may appear outdated or cheap to some players. Despite this, they are considered stylish and functional, allowing the game to run smoothly on older devices. Overall, while the graphics may lack depth and content, they complement the enjoyable gameplay experience.

    • “Graphics are stylish, and do the job well.”
    • “Graphics: 7/10, can probably run on an old phone if given the chance.”
    • “Basic mechanics, not a lot of content, early-3D-era graphics.”
    • “The graphics might look outdated or cheap to some, but the game itself is fun and even has some variation.”
    • “Graphics are pretty low-key, and run on old machines pretty well.”
  • grinding
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players generally find the grinding aspect of the game to be tedious and repetitive, particularly due to limited enemy variety and extensive driving, which can feel monotonous. However, the presence of engaging boss encounters and progression between areas helps alleviate some of the tedium, leading to a mixed overall impression. Despite these concerns, the game is still recommended, albeit with a caution regarding its repetitive content.

    • “Although it becomes repetitive (since enemies have limited variety in shapes and composition), it's not that tedious, thanks to boss encounters and area-to-area advancement.”
    • “Gameplay: 5/10, lots of driving, especially in possibly bugged areas, it gets tedious really quickly.”
    • “Average score: 7.6/10, good game, recommended with 'tedious/repetitive content' warning.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with a score of 5/10, primarily due to excessive driving in potentially bugged areas that can become tedious. Players noted basic mechanics and a lack of content, alongside outdated early 3D-era graphics.

    • “Gameplay: 5/10, lots of driving, especially in possibly bugged areas; it gets tedious really quickly.”
    • “Basic mechanics, not a lot of content, early 3D-era graphics.”
    • “Basic mechanics, not a lot of content, early 3D-era graphics.”
  • music
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music aspect of the game receives mixed feedback, with users appreciating the presence of audio controls but criticizing the limited options available. While some games, like Minecraft, offer comprehensive audio settings, others, such as Buckshot Roulette, fall short with minimal controls, impacting the overall audio experience. Additionally, the quality settings are deemed insufficient, as they can only be accessed from the launcher and offer limited choices.

    • “The audio controls are really good to have for any game, but Buckshot Roulette only has two audio controls: sound level and music play/pause. There are no other controls, and it's not fun on the ears.”
    • “The music aspect is lacking; it would be better if there were more audio control options available, similar to what Minecraft offers.”
    • “The quality setting for audio is only accessible from the launcher screen and has only three options, which is quite limiting.”
