Minimum's style is surprisingly engaging, but the imbalanced combat will have you swinging swords or flinging s-words.
"Minimum is a sci-fi shooter with multiplayer mode, featuring spectacular visuals and mechanics, customizable weapons, and a blueprint crafting system for armor sets. However, it suffers from being poorly optimized, has plenty of bugs, and requires lots of grinding. Despite its flaws, the game offers a unique art style, robust crafting system, and a solid core game mode."

Minimum Review
Levelling up, building weapons, and crafting armour can give each user a unique experience tailored to their play style. All of the game mechanics blend perfectly in the addictive Titan Mode, and promised updates will only further propel its hooking premise. Sadly, unfinished portions of the game hamper the experience with "Coming Soon" featured in too many sections. If the developers can stay committed, they might just have a stellar hit on their hands. Minimum has taken an awkward route to reach "full" release, but it's still not all there. However, what is available forms a solid blueprint for great things to come.

Minimum is not going to revolutionize multiplayer shooter design anytime soon, but it manages to offer a unique enough experience, with enough gameplay variety to warrant attention from third-person shooters enthusiasts that want to experience something slightly different. Unfortunately, it has many issues that detract from the whole experience, including some shoddy weapon balance and the fact that you can sort of pay to win instead of grinding for some of the more powerful items. I haven't encountered anything purchasable that gives you an advantage you could not otherwise get, so it's not that bad, and it's only frustrating until you get some more armor pieces and weapons of your own. Also, it takes some time to get used to, so at first you'll be going against seemingly overpowered opponents and end up pretty frustrated, especially when your bullets seem to be doing no damage, and you'll be wondering why you can't get a gun that's good at killing people from the get-go. The main problem that the game has is getting in online matches, seeing someone that kills you in one hit, and not being able to use the same gun they did. This is what makes the game lose a lot of points, as in titles such as Quake 3, the playing field was pretty level, everyone could get everything, and you never wondered why you had to shoot that much in order to take an opponent down and where all the guns that actually killed people were. Although the developers are still tweaking the game, the steep learning curve and initial frustration at not being able to kill opponents in a timely manner, while at the same time seeing someone simply one-shot you are still things that need to be taken care of for the long-term health of Minimum.
