  • Fast-paced and fun gameplay with satisfying mech combat and a unique Western-meets-mecha aesthetic.
  • The game is free and offers a solid experience for a short playtime, making it a great option for casual gamers.
  • The controls and weapon mechanics are enjoyable, with a variety of weapons that enhance the combat experience.
  • The game is very short, typically lasting around 12-20 minutes, which leaves players wanting more content.
  • Lacks depth in terms of narrative and level variety, feeling more like a tech demo than a full game.
  • Some technical issues, such as low field of view and unresponsive weapons, detract from the overall experience.
  • graphics
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are characterized by a vibrant, cartoonish art style reminiscent of Borderlands, which many players find appealing and original. While the visuals are generally well-received for their fun aesthetic and fluid design, some users noted issues with blurriness and a lack of graphic options, leading to performance concerns. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's charm, despite some technical shortcomings.

    • “The graphics felt nice with vibrant colors.”
    • “The art style and graphics are really cool with a cartoon effect.”
    • “This game has an amazing art style and is just a really cool concept.”
    • “Boring game, bad graphics.”
    • “Graphics are definitely on the blurry end, though, and there's no support for the most popular desktop screen resolution: 1366x768.”
    • “No graphic options, that's a shame - even though their benchmark said it's good and set everything on maximum, I still had huge FPS drops in some places...”
  • gameplay
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by fast-paced, action-packed mech combat with enjoyable mechanics, particularly the interchangeable weapons. While many players find it entertaining and satisfying, some express a desire for longer playtime and more depth, such as boss fights. Overall, the mechanics are solid and accessible, though some critiques point to a lack of originality and depth in the gameplay experience.

    • “The gameplay is fast, fun, and full of action, with satisfying mech combat and a great western-meets-mecha vibe.”
    • “I love the interchangeable weapons with each arm, and the mechanics of the weapons make gameplay entertaining and fast-paced.”
    • “The level is well designed, with good mechanics.”
    • “I mean gameplay bugs, not the literal ones (game NPCs).”
    • “The gameplay isn't original (an FPS where you shoot at bugs with different weapons, you have an AoE ability, stomp, that destroys all enemies around you), but it works fine and there weren't any problems with basic functionality.”
  • story
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in the game is perceived as underdeveloped, resembling a side mission from the original Borderlands, with players expressing a desire for more depth and context regarding the setting and characters. While the existing missions are enjoyable, the narrative feels incomplete, ending with a "to be continued" that leaves players wanting more. Overall, the writing and backstory need enhancement to fully realize the game's potential.

    • “A goofy (Borderlands-esque) story.”
    • “Just need to nail the writing and backstory.”
    • “I think the story could use some fleshing out, but mostly because I am curious as to why the insects all got there and why it is named New Texas.”
    • “So, only one mission total, with a '...to be continued.' at the end.”
    • “This is such a shame, though, as this could be a very good game on its own with some fleshing out and story.”
  • music
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is generally fitting but tends to be repetitive and occasionally annoying, with some players noting that it doesn't fully mute even when set to zero. While the interactive sounds align well with gameplay actions, the overall sound balance could be improved, as sound effects often compete with the music. Some users expressed a desire for a more distinct and engaging soundtrack, suggesting that a more adaptive approach could enhance the experience.

    • “The music and interactive sounds are fitting to the actions.”
    • “Music from the 90's, I'm guessing.”
    • “Game's okay, wish you could adjust field of view, changing weapons was more intuitive, sensitivity wasn't set to slider only, and that putting music to 0 should make it 0; instead, it still plays albeit quietly.”
    • “The music is fitting although it gets sort of repetitive.”
    • “The level design is a linear narrative, the graphics are cartoonish, the sound effects could use some improvement, the music is slightly annoying.”
  • optimization
    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is generally good, with smooth performance reported by users, although enabling V-Sync may lead to issues.

    • “The optimization is impressive; the game runs smoothly even with high settings.”
    • “I love how the optimization allows for seamless gameplay without any noticeable lag.”
    • “The developers did a fantastic job with optimization, making it accessible for a wide range of hardware.”
