  • The game features high-quality Pixar-style cut-scenes and well-designed character models, contributing to an engaging visual experience.
  • The gameplay offers a unique twist with the ability to shoot in the background and switch between multiple weapons, enhancing the combat mechanics.
  • The soundtrack fits the game's theme well, adding to the overall atmosphere during gameplay and boss battles.
  • The controls are unresponsive and imprecise, making platforming and combat frustrating and difficult to manage.
  • There are significant technical issues, including save file corruption and resolution settings that do not function as intended.
  • The level design and enemy spawning can feel unfair and chaotic, leading to a frustrating experience rather than a challenging one.
  • gameplay
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is primarily a 2D side-scrolling platformer with shooting elements, featuring a mix of smooth mechanics and frustrating issues like unreliable lock-on targeting during boss battles and overheating guns. While some mechanics offer interesting customization options, they often clash with each other, leading to a redundant experience. Overall, the gameplay has potential but is hindered by broken mechanics and a lack of cohesion.

    • “The gameplay is more or less a 2D side-scrolling platformer with shooting elements.”
    • “The gameplay is smooth and feels precise, though I haven't gotten the button pushing down, and the audio is quite nice.”
    • “Militant centers its gameplay on multi-line platforming/shooting, and its mechanics for weapon loadout customization means that you'll be able to adapt your weapons to your preferred combat style.”
    • “Also, the lock-on randomly breaks during boss battles, which means you have to re-aim randomly during the fight. So the one time the mechanic is actually useful, it barely works.”
    • “- Broken/boring game mechanics.”
    • “- Overheating guns; this goes with the topic of boring game mechanics.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some players criticizing them as subpar and suggesting a different art style could have improved the overall experience. However, others appreciate the aesthetic choices, particularly the detailed backgrounds and unique designs of the bugs, rating the graphics around 6/10. Overall, while not universally praised, there are elements that some players find visually appealing.

    • “The graphics are pretty sweet and I really like the take on the bugs and their by-species styles.”
    • “Gorgeous background visuals.”
    • “Still, you can consider the graphics to be good post level 1.”
    • “Overall this is one of the worst run and guns I have ever played; other than the aesthetics, I can't think of a single positive thing to say about this piece of trash. Avoid no matter how much it goes on sale for.”
    • “The graphics of this game are not the best.”
    • “I think if they went with a more 2D cartoony or even cel-shaded art style, it would’ve been a much better choice given the theme of the game.”
  • story
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
