gameplay5 positive mentions
atmosphere3 negative mentions
  • Strong 80s action movie theme with nostalgic references and humor
  • Fun and addictive gameplay, especially in local multiplayer and co-op modes
  • Good variety of characters, weapons, and procedurally generated levels offering some replayability
  • Gameplay mechanics are clunky, with awkward controls, limited 8-direction shooting and frustrating aiming
  • Technical issues including bugs, crashes, glitchy UI, and unstable online multiplayer
  • Repetitive and uninspired mission design, enemy behavior, and lack of depth reduce long-term engagement

  • gameplay

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    24% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The gameplay receives mixed feedback, with praise for its fun multiplayer mode, visual style, and procedural level variety, but criticism for unpolished mechanics, frustrating controls, repetitive enemy management, and a lack of innovation. Some find it enjoyable despite flaws, while others see it as a tedious and poorly balanced experience.

    • “Gameplay - 9.5/10”
    • “Awesome visual style and soundtrack, and with all four players, the gameplay is a lot of fun!”
    • “The tongue-in-cheek tone, plus the slick mechanics make for an enjoyable time, while the procedurally-generated level layouts ensure that coming back to it is never dull.”
    • “But the gameplay is an unpolished, janky joke.”
    • “I can excuse the awful writing as an homage to the genre, but not the sticky controls, the tendency to crash, the inability to work with a gamepad despite the game’s recommendations to use one, and the myriad mindless yet still frustrating gameplay choices that make this a time-waster in the worst way.”
    • “Especially with gameplay that does not complement the game design in question, as elements seem to work against each other in the overall picture: a game that desperately wants to be faster than it is.”

  • story

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    23% positive mentions, 54% neutral mentions, 23% negative mentions

    The story is described as humorous, short, and tongue-in-cheek with a goofy 1980s action movie vibe, centered around the character John Strong. However, it is also criticized for being bland, minimal, and lacking depth, with mission design and bugs detracting from the overall narrative experience. Fans appreciate its randomness and delivery but wish for more missions to enhance engagement.

    • “The game has an excellent, funny and short story about a man named John Strong and his life of adventures.”
    • “Off the wall story done in a random yet very goofy kind of way that executes well in delivery.”
    • “Fun twin-stick shooter action, procedurally-generated levels keep things fresh, tongue-in-cheek 1980s action movie story, good visuals and effects.”
    • “Story is bland and boring.”
    • “Hardly a success story, gamers just weren't all that interested in the game.”
    • “While functionally it does so at a minimal level as numerous issues are on display for enemy behaviors and mission design.”

  • graphics

    10 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    40% positive mentions, 30% neutral mentions, 30% negative mentions

    The graphics of the game are characterized by simplistic, low-quality vector art that scales poorly with resolution changes, offering limited visual improvement. While some appreciate the nostalgic, tongue-in-cheek '80s aesthetic and crisp cell-shaded style, many find the visuals mediocre and reminiscent of dated console games, lacking sophistication and polish. Overall, the art style fits the game's goofy, retro theme but doesn't offer cutting-edge or refined graphics.

    • “Even though I wasn't part of the 1980's myself, I simply loved all the references and the artwork.”
    • “Now the game has a goofy nature to it that executes rather well, and the presentation in terms of the visuals is enjoyable.”
    • “Character models are nice, and the overall aesthetic of the game works in the big picture.”
    • “While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic low-quality vector art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality.”
    • “Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the mediocre 2D visuals.”
    • “While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics.”

  • humor

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    89% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is mixed, with some players appreciating its attempt at a nostalgic, funny narrative and entertaining story, while others find it largely ineffective or even annoying. Although the game clearly aims to be humorous, many feel it falls short and fails to deliver consistent laughs.

    • “The humor is there and that is why I got this title.”
    • “This game not only brings the nostalgic feeling of the 1980's in a wonderful, funny and entertaining way, but it is also challenging and has many play styles, characters, and weapons to choose from.”
    • “The game has an excellent, funny and short story about a man named John Strong and his life of adventures.”
    • “The accent in the gun shop is not funny; it is actually just annoying.”

  • music

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    57% positive mentions, 43% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music in the game is widely praised for its amazing, nostalgic 80s-inspired soundtrack that enhances the overall experience. Players appreciate the combination of great music, art direction, and gameplay, with some expressing interest in having the soundtrack available for download.

    • “Amazing soundtrack.”
    • “The soundtrack is also amazing; I would love it if you made it available for download.”
    • “Great art and music takes you right back to the 80s.”

  • atmosphere

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, -33% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game’s atmosphere is praised for its cheesy 80s action film vibe, effectively setting a distinct tone. However, technical issues like frame stutters and texture flickering, along with coarse language, detract from the overall immersive experience.

    • “The only good thing about the game is its premise, a bit of an over-the-top cheesy 80s action flick, but it sets the atmosphere nicely.”
    • “Lingering concerns: frame stutters with a screen full of enemies, framerate drops with extended play (suggestive of a memory leak somewhere), texture flickering after an enemy's death is distracting.”
    • “The coarse language detracts from the experience, making it feel unepic, rather than adding to the atmosphere and style.”
    • “Overall technical issues like stuttering and texture flickering break immersion and harm the atmospheric feel of the game.”

  • stability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game's stability is mixed, with some users experiencing a few bugs and glitches in singleplayer, leading to concerns about potential issues in multiplayer. Overall, stability appears to be problematic but not severe.

    • “I haven't tried the multiplayer, but if it's as bad as the singleplayer is with its glitches and problems, I dread to think about it.”

  • replayability

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    Users find the game’s challenging gameplay and weapon unlocks enhance its replayability, making it fun and rewarding to revisit. Additionally, its appeal extends to content creators and nostalgic players, further boosting its lasting enjoyment.

    • “That will not only increase the replayability and fun, but it's also going to be awesome for content creators and nostalgic pursuers like me.”
    • “It is actually pretty challenging, which gives it good replay value, not to mention the satisfaction of unlocking new weapons in the gun shop!”

  • grinding

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    Grinding is considered tedious and unrewarding due to enemies having excessive health and weapons dealing insufficient damage, making the experience boring and frustrating.

    • “Enemies have too much health, weapons do too little damage, making grinding boring and tedious with no payoff.”
