America's Retribution

I love this game! It was fun and reminded me of playing Contra which is exactly what I was looking for.

I'm all about political satire. I was looking for some cheap games to purchase & stumbled across this. For $3.99, America's Retribution isn't bad at all. In fact, its downright entertaining. Player 1 plays as Donald Trump. Player 2 plays as Mike Pence. Even though many of the sound effects sound like they were taken from other games (such as when enemies are killed it sounds like some of them are taken from C&C Red Alert & Mortal Kombat), they sound good. The soundtrack stands out. One of the other neat features is that you'll hear sound bytes from Donald Trump at various points in the game. As of 11-26-2022, the game hasn't been officially tested for Steam Deck. However, after downloading it & testing it out, it works. I would classify it as "playable". As good as this game is, I do have some minor complaints. Maybe the developer can make the following changes: 1. I saw one review stating that the controls don't completely work. This is partially true. The game mentions that it has partial controller support. When using a controller, one has to use the D-pad to move the character. The analog stick does nothing. This should be adjusted. As for Control Options, there are only two options: Republican (controller) or Democrat (keyboard). There should be a third option called "Independent", which would allow you to completely customize controls. 2. The game is hard as all get out. You only get one life & unless I'm mistaken, there are no continues. There should be difficulty settings: * Welfare (Easy - Fewer Enemies, Take Less Damage, More Ammo for Power-Ups, Health Items Recover more Health, Infinite Infinite Lives, Etc.) * Employed (Normal - Normal Damage Taken, Descent Ammo for Power-Ups, Descent Health Recovery from Health Items, Limited Number of Lives, Infinite Continues, Etc.) * Targeted (Hard - More Enemies, More Damage Taken, Less Ammo for Power-Ups, Little Health Recovery from Health Items, One Life, Fewer Continues, Etc.) * On Your Own (Brutal - Enemies show no mercy, very little health recovery from health items, very little ammo for Power-Ups, One Life, No Continues, Etc.) That being said this game is fun. Regardless of what side of the aisle you are on, the game is satire & nothing else. If you don't have a good sense of humor, are easily offended, or need a safe space then maybe you should move on. However, If you like Run 'N Gun style games (political or not), then I would recommend this game. On a scale of 1 to 5, I give it a 3.75.

Just like in Handmaid's Tale, only a Canadian has the freedom to make a good game about America. Here you play as Trump as he ventures to save the US from soyviet Antifa dirtbags, oversized feminists, what appear to be CNBC news copters, and the occasional Confucius Institute graduate. Tough as nails but worth every penny because this July 4th, we make hastily put together games great again. Superb!

8/8 had orange man.

Bought this game thinking it would be a joke and ended up playing it for hours. Fantastic game, and way more fun than you would think. I got to kill shia labeouf with a flamethrower... so much win.

This game might just save Western Civilization. Couldn't recommend more. Best played with a controller.
