This game has a lot of heart and effort put into it, this goofy game has all the hallmarks of what could be a great game to play with your friends. The art is good, the guns and movement feel good, and there is a solid gameplay loop to have fun in. The only problem is that it gets boring very fast as so much of the game just repeats.
The enemies are decent but the only strategy you will ever need is to run in a circle and shoot them, the bosses are creative and well made but the only strategy you will need is to run in a circle and shoot them. There are exceptions but they are few and are far between like the nuke and like one of the saloon's attacks. Then nearly all of the side objectives are puzzles or parkour that pull you out of the fast paced hoard shooter into frustration as your very fast movement and little air control makes the jumps unreasonably difficult at times. There needs to be more impactful moments that don’t interrupt the gameplay, DRG is an excellent example as it has random events or minibosses you have to plan around, they slow you down but can widely change how missions are played naturally making unique and impactful moments.
Then stack all of this on top of the extraordinary grind making each gun take 2 or so hours to get then another 4-5 to make it viable for higher difficulties meaning you will not be using whatever gun you want you will be using the one you have at a high level. The spells are very fun but sit in the same boat as the guns, it takes forever to 100% unlock just one spell type. Over my six hours the highest spell I unlocked was the third lightning spell the portal and the second level in the acid spells, for context there are 6 spells in 6 different categories with the first one unlocked in each, so assuming I am consistent and there is no scaling to unlock the high levels it would take me around 60 hours to unlock all of the spells.
Oh and lastly please use more color, the art style is really good but it needs to be more distinct to draw the eye to certain things, I genuinely can not tell you a difference in what each map looks like (except the volcano) because it is all browns, greys, and some washed out greens.
