  • gameplay
    31 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by a mix of engaging mechanics and significant flaws; while players appreciate the fun of exploring a large map and solving language-based challenges, many find the shooting mechanics rough and the overall experience repetitive. The game lacks polish and variety, leading to a gameplay loop that can grow stale quickly, though some players enjoy the challenge it presents. Overall, it serves its purpose as a language learning tool but could benefit from more depth and refinement in its gameplay design.

    • “The gameplay itself is fun; you essentially go around a big map and kill robots, solving obstacle courses and answering questions based on colors, items, directions, etc., to unlock new guns and get more health/ammo.”
    • “The gameplay is fluid and enjoyable enough to keep you hooked for a few hours.”
    • “For a game focused on teaching you things and learning things, the gameplay is surprisingly fun and challenging.”
    • “The gameplay is nothing special, and quite frankly not very polished.”
    • “By many metrics, it's a terrible shooter, and the gameplay I'd describe as playable at best.”
    • “The gameplay and animations are clumsy.”
  • graphics
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are generally well-received, described as "on point" for an indie title, with nice 3D visuals that surpass many competitors. While some reviewers note that the graphics are not groundbreaking and have room for improvement, they appreciate the overall aesthetic and user interface design. Overall, the visuals contribute positively to the gaming experience, though there is a desire for future enhancements.

    • “It felt like playing Doom again in the 90s, but I was learning at the same time, and the graphics for an indie game are on point.”
    • “This game has awesome 3D graphics with better controls, and you have to fight against bad robots to find crystals.”
    • “With room to improve in the graphics, they still look great!”
    • “I want to see more love put into this game, mainly new words and situations, and not so much any graphical improvements or gameplay additions.”
    • “I hope in the future developers will add more languages as well as upgrade the graphics and controls.”
    • “The simple and easy appearance of the game graphic designs and user interface designs overlaps with the usual game designs.”
  • story
    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players express a desire for a more engaging story in the game, suggesting the addition of unique missions and a narrative-driven campaign. Many feel that the current gameplay lacks a strong overarching storyline and would benefit from more dialogue and structured quests to enhance the experience. Overall, there is a clear call for a deeper narrative element to be integrated into the game.

    • “Also, I'd gladly buy a super short campaign DLC that requires the understanding the base game teaches you to have a super short story.”
    • “I would like to see a story of some sort, even if it's just in text.”
    • “I would like to see a story mode integrated or something with more dialogue.”
    • “So gameplay-wise, this game is about what you could expect; the focus is definitely not going to be on fast-paced gameplay or some overarching storyline, at least not for now.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is highly praised, with users highlighting the great soundtrack as a standout feature that enhances the overall experience. Many find the music satisfying and enjoyable, contributing positively to the gameplay.

    • “Excellent game, taught me a few words and phrases and got me to think quickly as I went through the levels. Oh, and the soundtrack is great!”
    • “Also, the music is greatly satisfying.”
    • “Love the soundtrack!”
  • optimization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is generally considered subpar, with users reporting random lag spikes and significant loading times, leading to a frustrating experience, especially for those focused on language learning rather than gameplay. Overall, performance ratings vary, with some players finding it acceptable while others rate it as low as 4/10.

    • “Performance is alright; there are some random lag spikes, but overall it's a great experience.”
    • “If I were playing a normal FPS game, I would put effort into it (and the game would be much more optimized for that), but here, I'm here to learn a language, not to struggle against robots.”
    • “Performance: 4/10 (big loading times)”
    • “If I was playing a normal FPS game, sure I'd put effort into it (and the game would be much more optimized for it), but here, I'm here to learn a language, not to struggle against robots.”
  • grinding
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Players find the grinding aspect of the game to be disheartening and tedious, as it often requires repetitive tasks, such as re-obtaining keys, which can detract from the overall enjoyment.

    • “Instead, you have to redo so much (including getting the key again) that it becomes disheartening and tedious.”
    • “The constant need to grind for resources feels more like a chore than an enjoyable part of the game.”
    • “After hours of grinding, I still feel like I'm nowhere near my goals, which makes the experience frustrating.”
  • replayability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's impressive variety of well-voiced languages enhances its replayability, making it a valuable tool for language learning through its engaging and repetitive nature.

    • “The variety of well-voiced languages is impressive, adding a crucial element of replayability to the repetitive nature of language learning.”
    • “The variety of well-voiced languages is pretty impressive, but it lacks true replayability, making the repetitive nature of language learning feel tedious over time.”
    • “After completing the game once, I found little incentive to replay it; the lack of meaningful choices and consequences really diminishes its replay value.”
    • “While the game offers a unique experience initially, the limited content and predictable outcomes make it hard to justify multiple playthroughs.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game has been reported to have stability issues, with users noting frequent bugs, particularly related to frame rate and infinite enemy spawns without despawning.

    • “The game can be a little buggy at times.”
    • “The game is very buggy when it comes to the FPS aspect, as enemies infinitely spawn with no despawn.”
  • emotional
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The emotional aspect of the game is highlighted by the presence of subtle details that evoke a sense of unease or disconnection, as indicated by the imagery of objects not fully touching the floor, creating a noticeable gap that resonates with players on a deeper level.
