I played a lot of VS. I tried many clones, although briefly during next steam fests as I don't want to sink too much time into them. I am mostly curious to see for like half an hour each on average what they try to do and bring new to the table. Now, this is one of the best clones I've ever tried. Don't get fooled by the design, yes it's kind of minimalist looking and essential, but it is coherent and clever nonetheless. The UI is barebones, yes, but it's not necessarily a bad thing, and you can really see that the development resources have been concentrated on the core games. And it's been absolutely nailed. There is a large amount of loadouts, it's not too grindy related to the genre, and most importantly, fun to play. I find that the two current negative reviews are very superficial. One played the game for only 10 minutes so we can skip that one. The other one played for little over half an hour, and used very rude tones and I don't think they understood the complexity of the game. The style of the graphics is like other games (think geometry wars) and it's not "lame", it's just a style, you can like it or not, it's subjective. And the fact that it doesn't have many players playing it, in this case, really means nothing as it's one of the thousands of tiny games who flow under the radar, nobody reviews, and you can only find thanks to the discovery queue - an amazingly useful tool. So yeah, try it, it's free, if you like VS-style games do a few runs and I think 90% of you will like it - as the positive review average suggests.
