The controls interface ruins whatever hope this had to be a good game. (Also, this game entirely lacks any means of changing the control scheme, which every game should include.)
This is a "survival game" where you basically need to loot buildings to get supplies that your base constantly consumes. The problem is that you get supplies by clicking on buildings (sending out your drone), then having to shift-click on a resource in a window that pops up then click the button to gather that resource... without pausing the game.
Also, I don't really care much about graphics, but when I can't tell the difference between what's apparently the only important part of your base and some decorative grey smear on the floor, to the point where I had to quit the game and look in the forums for where my base was supposed to be, there's a problem.
By far the WORST aspect of this game, however, is that it's basically a game of clicking through menus while under attack from off-screen enemies that kill you in one hit all the time, but the game just flat-out ignores your clicks 90% of the time. Plus, you have to do things like move parts you don't need into the "recycle" box and click the recycle button, but the "show info" button is larger than it looks, while the actual item button is smaller, and if you don't click and drag to the EXACT right place, the whole menu freezes, forcing you to abort back out, recover your drone, send your drone back out, and then restart the process over again. WHY is all of this based upon mouseclicking and dragging when this game can't even get mouse controls right?
You hit space to enter "combat mode" (which makes you move half as fast for some reason) which means that clicking fires your weapons (if you have any), but the direction they fire is only VAGUELY guided by where you are clicking. The camera is controlled by where your mouse is pointing, too, so aiming at an enemy means you can't see anything around yourself. Also, you can't tell when you are turned too far to the left or right to aim properly until your shot is fired 30 degrees off course. Most weapons have a reload time of at least a second, so enjoy the massive frustration of missing because the weapons hadn't aimed in time (their traversal rate to follow your mouse - and hence the target - seems to be randomly determined at any given second). Also, did I mention you can permanently have a weapon destroyed, or even your whole mecha destroyed in one or two hits while you're still figuring out why your guns are firing backwards?
Yeah, that's right, if you manage to get any weapons worth a damn, they get blown away in the first attack by an enemy you didn't see because the camera controls are so floaty and so ignore your intentions.
Apparently, there are some bases that have something called "ACU"s that are your main goal, but if you go anywhere near them, about 20 enemies swarm you, each one of which is capable of killing you in 1-2 shots, and while you're going off to do that, the other enemy bases will take it as open season to steal all your resources from your own base (because they can do that).
Still, this was a game that I spent more time fighting the controls than the enemies, overall.
