Critter Crossfire

Really great game. Embraces the free-aim hard, and as a result, makes for more interesting use of it than pretty much any other game that's tried the same sort of thing. The effect of gravity alone might've been enough to keep lining up headshots through the gaps of tightly hitbox'd terrain thrilling, but layered on top of that is a mountain of genuinely game-changing mechanics, whether it's an upgrade that makes your shotgun pellets explode, riot shields that necessitate L-shaped approaches, or just a magic ray gun that fires without an arc. These aren't just statistical upgrades or bonus status effects tacked onto your weapon -- they'll fundamentally change how you approach problems on the map. Then, layer the roguelike mix-and-match on top of that, and you've got all different sorts of fun popping up every run. Doesn't have the highest production values, could use some more granular difficulty, but it looks clean, runs great, plays snappy. Overall fantastic stuff.

Game is super dope. An easy 10-20 hours of fun in just the Single Player. The team building system is deep enough to have a lot of fun with for different playthroughs.

Very natural combination of an XCOM-like and aiming my shots and grenades and ricochets and stuff! I'm surprised I haven't seen a game like this before! I'm very amused by my characters and the enemies both being moved by conveyor belts in real time while I'm aiming, haha. There's a lot of synergies between the weapon types, and the angles and motion on the map designs, similar to the Worms games, and it feels like there's a lot I have yet to discover still. Recommended!

Satisfying headshots. The game has a fun set of items/options/upgrades with a chance for some combos/synergies. The UI is and mechanics are very visually clear. The sound effects are satisfying and the AI is reasonably stupid in the right ways :)

I've been following this game since the pretty early stages. Every time I come back I'm excited to check out all the new additions, and the release version here did not disappoint. The tactical combat is well polished, has a slick overall presentation, stuffed with customization and variation for your runs. Looking forward to getting a chance to dive in more soon!

A fun game with a lot of items and weapons that create variety in each run. Wiping out a group of enemies in one attack with a chain of explosions or landing a well-placed shot that barely squeezed between obstacles is very satisfying. Since many of the items are unlocked through completing campaign challenges, there is plenty of replayability. I also like how the maps have a couple of variations so that I'm not playing the exact same maps in each campaign challenge.

Having lots of fun so far. Reminds me of Worms but in 3D and a lot more tactics involved.

This is the XCOM/Mario Rabbids for people who hate trusting RNG. Aiming your own shots is way more fun than it ought to be in this genre. When you nail a perfect bounce or long shot? It feels amazing. Also, the item variety is refreshing. I was constantly swapping loadouts for my squad to make super soldiers. A insta-tap rifle menace that can move and shoot after killing? A shot-gunner that spawns grenades where they hit for each pellet? Hell yeah. I originally played the hell out of the initial demo and I can see so much has changed that I will need to do a whole new play-through to see everything the game now has to offer. Kudos to the developer for putting so much more into it since then! If you like strategy games but want something that doesn’t take itself too seriously and lets you pull off dumb, awesome plays — this is it. Can’t wait to dive deeper on this version!

Have been enjoying this game. A creative mixture of a few different genres that makes it feel fresh. Would recommend it. I really like the rouge-lite aspect of the campaign. It can feel frustrating when one mistake can lead to one of your characters dieing and losing the match. However the upgrades between rounds helps that feel a lot less frustrating. Haven't gotten a chance to play the multiplayer mode yet. Seems fun though.

Super fun game, I like the items and customizing character loadouts. The game also introduces concepts at a good pace.
