  • story
    141 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story of the game is generally considered engaging, featuring charming characters and a solid premise involving an elite squad combating evil forces. While some players find the narrative a bit simplistic or convoluted, it effectively supports the gameplay and is enhanced by good voice acting and cinematic presentations. However, the limited number of missions and occasional writing inconsistencies have led to mixed feelings about the depth and originality of the story.

    • “The story is original and the concept is great.”
    • “While the story is simple, it remains engaging, largely due to its roster of highly unique characters who bring the world to life in unexpected ways.”
    • “The story is excellent and the gameplay/mechanics are fantastic - it's a lot of fun!”
    • “The game has its bugs, and it feels like it's trying to tell too big of a story in too few missions.”
    • “Obviously, story and characters come second to the gameplay, but the writing is afraid to take itself seriously.”
    • “Very easy on hard, with super overpowered skills, mediocre story and characters.”
  • gameplay
    135 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is generally praised for its engaging mechanics and enjoyable tactical elements, closely resembling the style of previous Mimimi games like Shadow Tactics and Desperados III. While the character abilities are well-balanced and the gameplay loop is satisfying, some players noted a lack of depth in mechanics, such as the absence of stealth options and environmental interactions. Overall, it offers a fun experience for fans of the genre, though it could benefit from more variety and refinement in certain areas.

    • “Gameplay is tight, fun, and engaging.”
    • “Very fun and creative gameplay, high quality visuals via UE5, excellent soundtrack and SFX, and an engaging story.”
    • “This makes for a very satisfying gameplay loop, just like it did in Shadow Gambit.”
    • “Cons: only 10 missions and the first ones are like an introduction, suffers from the problem of 'do this area like this or you get stuck on it', gameplay loop is a bit broken since you abuse a few characters to just kill everyone, there is no 'non-lethal' option which seems weird in a stealth game, some character designs or skills are bad.”
    • “Devs copied mimimi's visual style but for some reason decided to implement only the bare minimum mechanics (no footsteps sounds on any surface, no footprints, no dark/light difference in vision cones, no swimming, etc.).”
    • “Sure, it's no mimimi game and is a bit bare bones around the edges with no darkness mechanics in the night and no footprints in the snow.”
  • music
    46 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game has received mixed reviews, with many praising its delightful and fantastic quality, particularly the jazzy and upbeat tracks that enhance the atmosphere. However, players have reported issues such as repetitiveness during extended play, audio bugs like stuttering and volume fluctuations, and some tracks not fitting the game's setting. Overall, while the soundtrack is well-loved, technical problems detract from the immersive experience.

    • “The music is delightful too - actually kept that on this time.”
    • “Just getting started, but so far atmosphere, gameplay, and UI are all on point for this style of game (voice acting and music so far are excellent, by the way).”
    • “Rockin' guitar soundtrack + weird WWII + using a werebear to maul Nazis = success.”
    • “Music and ambient sound have clicking, chirping, and stuttering in them.”
    • “This is a huge annoyance since music and sound play a critical role for immersion.”
    • “On one level, it feels like there are two tracks playing at the same time; sometimes it gets unreasonably loud or quiet, and on some levels, the music just gives up and stops completely for the rest of the map.”
  • graphics
    41 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's graphics are praised for their vibrant and stylized visuals, creating an immersive and enchanting world that enhances gameplay. While the level design and art style are generally considered beautiful and unobtrusive, some players report performance issues, including high GPU and CPU utilization and occasional frame rate drops, which can often be mitigated by adjusting settings. Overall, the graphics are solid and contribute positively to the game's atmosphere, though they do not push the boundaries of the genre.

    • “The game's vibrant and stylized visuals create a visually appealing world that is both enchanting and immersive.”
    • “Very fun and creative gameplay, high quality visuals via UE5, excellent soundtrack and SFX, and an engaging story.”
    • “The graphics are solid, providing an immersive experience without pushing the boundaries of the genre, but certainly good enough to keep players invested in the game's atmosphere.”
    • “The only minor thing I can complain about here is the occasional graphical and animation glitches in our team.”
    • “The game has a few performance issues that lead to high GPU and CPU utilization, as well as FPS drops; most of those issues can be fixed by capping the FPS and forcing V-Sync both in-game and in the graphics card settings.”
    • “Story is okay, graphics are okay.”
  • optimization
    30 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization has received mixed reviews, with many players experiencing performance issues such as high GPU and CPU utilization, FPS drops, and occasional glitches. While some users report smooth gameplay without stuttering, others note that the game is demanding on hardware and requires adjustments like capping FPS and enabling V-Sync to improve performance. Overall, the game is enjoyable but could benefit from further optimization to enhance stability and reduce technical issues.

    • “Aside from a few sound glitches, it runs smoothly and is just plain fun.”
    • “[*] runs smoothly, no stutters.”
    • “[*] although the game runs smoothly, as in no stuttering, it's unreasonably demanding on the hardware.”
    • “The game has a few performance issues that lead to high GPU and CPU utilization, as well as FPS drops; most of those issues can be fixed by capping the FPS and forcing V-Sync both in-game and in the graphics card settings.”
    • “Optimization could use a little work; I started experiencing slowdowns during long play sessions, but I just had to close and re-open the game every once in a while.”
    • “It's a very high-quality game that you would even mistake for mimimi games as the devs, but it does have weird performance issues and bugs that can severely hinder your progress.”
  • stability
    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game exhibits a range of stability issues, including occasional sound glitches, minor visual and animation bugs, and small freezes during specific gameplay events.

  • replayability
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game offers high replayability due to its diverse cast of characters and multiple approaches to gameplay, allowing for various tactics and achievements. However, the limited scope and diversity of optional challenges detract from this aspect, making them feel somewhat bare-bones compared to similar titles.

    • “The diverse cast of characters, each with their own unique abilities, adds depth and replayability to the experience.”
    • “Replayability is high, with many different approaches, tactics, and achievements available.”
    • “Optional challenges are severely limited in scope and diversity, which hurts replayability.”
    • “While there are a few challenges to add replayability, they are very bare bones compared to Mimimi games, and especially Shadow Gambit.”
    • “It has a bit of replayability by allowing you to choose which chapter to replay, which saves on time.”
  • humor
    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is praised for its humor, featuring a cast of funny characters and witty phrases that enhance the overall experience.

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Character development in the game is visually appealing, with strong voice acting and interesting character designs, particularly in the early stages.

Additionally, some character designs and skills are criticized for being subpar.

    • “The character development is severely lacking, with only 10 missions that feel more like an introduction than a full experience.”
    • “The gameplay loop is broken, as it encourages players to exploit a few characters to dominate, leaving little room for diverse strategies.”
    • “It's frustrating that there is no 'non-lethal' option in a stealth game, which limits the potential for character growth and moral choices.”
  • emotional
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
