  • story26 mentions

    The game's story is generally viewed as lackluster and disconnected from the gameplay, with many players noting that it fails to engage or enhance the overall experience. While some appreciate the effort put into the narrative and its retro nods, the repetitive missions and minimal character development detract from its potential. Overall, the story is seen as an afterthought, with players recommending it primarily for achievement hunting rather than for its narrative quality.

    • “Don't bother with the story in this game because it really has absolutely no bearing at all on the game itself.”
    • “The game tries to build up a story but nothing the narrator says has anything to do with the gameplay or what you're doing at the time, and it doesn't make any sense.”
    • “The story leaves a lot to be desired and is really low volume.”
  • graphics24 mentions

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with many players noting a lack of resolution options and limited graphical tweaks. While some appreciate the cel-shaded art style reminiscent of the Borderlands series, others criticize the overall quality as subpar, with comments on poor animations and inconsistent designs among characters. Overall, the visuals are described as "okayish" or "bad," with some players finding them acceptable for the game's price point, but not impressive.

    • “I would honestly not play the game to actually play the game, as it is not my type of game, however the game runs smoothly and the art style is old, but still nice to look at.”
    • “The graphics are in the cel-shaded Borderlands-esque style and while the gameplay can get repetitive at times, I was happy to sit there and play it all the way through.”
    • “The cell-shaded graphics are very reminiscent of Borderlands, and the weapon selection is wide and varied.”
    • “There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks.”

  • gameplay19 mentions

    The gameplay has been widely criticized for its repetitive nature, with many players noting that it quickly becomes stale and lacks depth, often feeling like a series of monotonous wave attacks. While some appreciate the achievement hunting aspect and the humor, the overall experience is deemed unsatisfactory, with calls for better mechanics and more engaging content. Despite its low price point, the game fails to deliver a compelling gameplay experience, making it suitable only for those seeking easy achievements rather than serious gaming.

    • “The gameplay seems okay, and the music seems fitting.”
    • “Acquire the 1106 achievements all together in one single gameplay.”
    • “If you are looking for serious gameplay, don't bother; you won't find it here, but for some funny moments, it is actually worth the sale price.”
    • “I would only recommend this game if you're achievement hunting; I can't recommend the gameplay because it's the same mission over and over again.”
    • “The gameplay is stale in 5 minutes.”
    • “Gameplay consists of: stay at the spawn point, shoot at the robots, and pick up ammo from a station.”
  • humor6 mentions

    The humor in the game is described as both amusing and absurd, providing short bursts of entertainment through its quirky mechanics and funny character designs, such as a crab robot and comically animated bosses. While the gameplay lacks depth and can become repetitive, players find enjoyment in its unintentional hilarity, making it worth the price for those seeking lighthearted fun rather than serious gameplay. Overall, the humor is a highlight, even if the game itself is not well-developed.

    • “Amazing how nothing the trailer shows is actually in the game; the supposed mechs are just a little crab robot and a hilarious bigger boss with funny movements, over and over, and it kills your patience.”
    • “If you are looking for serious gameplay, don't bother; you won't find it here. But for some funny moments, it's actually worth the sale price. Besides, there is far worse stuff on Steam these days.”
    • “It was so bad... that was hilarious playing it.”
  • monetization3 mentions

Users describe it as a cash grab, highlighting a pattern of similar behavior from the developers.

    • “The developers here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism as well as a cash grab.”

    • “Found this game - no advertising, it's bad as well.”
