  • gameplay
    33 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is characterized by its fun mechanics, including a unique "death brushing" system that adds strategic depth and a variety of characters with distinct abilities.

    • “The gameplay is straightforward: shoot and eliminate every monster or alien that appears, navigate through the levels, and seize opportunities to save your future party members.”
    • “The game differentiates itself with its 'death brush' mechanic — time slows down when you're hit, letting you avoid death — and multiple characters that you can swap in if the one you're playing goes down.”
    • “Gameplay feels just a bit all over the place, but the idea for the game is pretty good.”
    • “Game mechanics can be buggy and sluggish at times, which makes achievements a lot more frustrating to get.”

    • “There is music, unfortunately.”
    • “I relaxed for 5 minutes listening to this music, long enough to realize that I would be okay.”
  • story
    17 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “These paths are tied to the story, but like the artwork, it's cribbed from a teenager's notebook and mostly nonsense.”
    • “I could not do anything to proceed, and when I finally abandoned the mission I saw that my progress didn't save.”
  • replayability
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game's replayability is considered limited due to its repetitive core gameplay and short campaign length, despite offering multiple endings and branching paths.
