Muhteşem bir oyun olmuş. Eski özlediğiniz oyun tatlarını almanız olası. Gerek ses gerek oynanış gerek grafikler olsun oldukça zevkli bir üstten görünüş shoot em up. Hele yan yana oynayacağınız bir arkadaşınız var ise muhakak almalısınız. Şu steam zam haberlerinin yanında 40₺ fiyatı ile alınası olmuş. Birkaç eksisi var tabi mesela 3080li bir bilgisayarda performans sorunları yaşayabilirsiniz ama 3070 im ile 45fps altına düşmedim. Zaten yapımcılarda bunun farkında küçük bir ekip olduklarını söylüyorlar ve ilerde düzeltilicek. Birde gelişim süreci çok kısıtlı. keşke daha fazla gelişim ve düşman çeşitliliği sunsa, ama bu eksiler gözardı edebilirlir.
Once the bugs are gone, an the perfomance has improved, it'll probably be one of my favorite games.
This is a great premise for a game, and a really fun addition to our couch co-op roster. I'm playing it with my wife, who sometimes struggles with twin-stick shooters. But now, she can focus on blasting while I do the running around! The performance really does need a tune-up unfortunately. I'm running with Ryzen 7 and a 3080; and we need to play at 1080p with all graphical settings at their lowest. Even then, we still get stutters below 60fps. Some of the visual affordance in menu navigation is also a bit unclear. And the controller icons don't seem to work for our DS4s. But it's still a great enough game that I recommend it. You might need to play at 720p, or 1080p low, but it's worth it.
such a fun game! and pretty difficult even on normal :D !!!
Game is ok, it looks nice - gameplay is fun - some areas have bad performance issues which should be solved, overall some lack of diversity - quite the same mechanics / enemies over the whole time, also the additional weapons feel a bit unnecessary - i just need this "shotgun" and never felt i should use the others. overall the game could have been much better, more interaction between the 2 "heroes" - some sort of voice acting or commentaries etc. during the gameplay and more diversity and maybe forcing the player to use several weapons due to immunity or something else, idk. - BUT it is worth the money, the time i have spend was ok and as i said, i enjoyed the game.
A truly magical and unique world. Well-done character design, environment, atmosphere, everything is there to bring you back to the spirit of the late 90s arcade games, but the graphics are high quality and the gameplay is fluid and dynamic. I've read in several places that there were performance issues with the game, but apparently they are no longer alive, at least I was able to run the game perfectly. The only critique I have is that the enemies on the map could be a bit more dense, especially on the hardest level, I think it would be a lot of fun. For me it's like a MOBA (Dota, HOS) environment design and camera view with a Heart of Darkness :)
Honestly a fun game, really awesome on Steamdeck to play on the go. Music is awesome and visuals are really nice. Definitely a challenging game, especially on hard mode.
This game becomes quickly addictive! I played just by myself but it looks definitely fun to play with another player! The musics and the environments of this game are beautiful and the story is really well written. It's a bit hard and I would love to have even more kinds of creatures to beat but overall I got a lot of fun :) Compare to some other comments I didn't get any lag playing this game. Would recommend playing it!
Good Game, but it still has a lot of bugs.
美術不錯 音樂不明顯 遊戲性待打磨 關卡略嫌沉悶冗長 核心玩法不突出 最致命傷是安裝容量偏高 硬碟空間不足的話 很容易想移除 總之不錯小品 推薦特價時入手就可.
