Mal juego no es y tiene [b]cooperativo de hasta 4 jugadores en modo local[/b]. No obstante, está [b]capado a 60 fps[/b] (salvo que te guste jugar acelerado) y, sobre todo, salvo para tres o cuatro a la vez (todos con mando), el [i]Isaac[/i] o el [i]Gungeon[/i], por mencionar dos ejemplos, lo hacen mejor y tienen mucha más rejugabilidad.
There are two of these games: Iron Fisticle Iron Crypticle This one is the second of the two. This is pretty much the as same as Fisitcle but with a better presentation and some optional bloom effects. Layout feels more like a roguelike but it's pretty much just an arcade twin-sticker - which is perfectly fine as it is, a nice pick up and play shooter that doesn't take much of your time and is fun to get into. Can be played with 4x same-pc friends. yay.
great game, simple, fun, replayable and skill based
Is good
A seriously moreish and tight retro twin stick arena shooter with a phenomenally good push-your-luck scoring system. It's up there with Nex Machina on my twin stick shooter leaderboard.
delicious arcade action
This is a surprisingly fun game. If you like Smash TV or other dual stick shooters give it a try.
It's good arcade fun for a run or two. Would have been better with a friend or two. Gonna reinstall and play another round or two...
One of the best arcade twin stick throwbacks I've played in a minute. Very strong Gauntlet and Smash TV influences, but unlike other indie retro throwbacks, this one knows what clicks, what's special about that coin op experience. Very strong fundamentals, very fun core gameplay, the scoring system is very fun... and sure, the roguelite elements are kind of a eyeroll, but they don't define the core of the experience, they're more to spice things up in the long run. Kind of a banger tbh
[i]A Modern Day Robotron[/i] 7/10 A solid Robotron-like without the excessive rainbow spectrum color blinding nonsense of the original. Central to arcade style games is the score mechanics and IC does a good job here of making item collection satisfying and interesting. The ledger collection for all of the available pickup items is a nice touch. Replay-ability is pretty high esp in the endless mode. Some of my dislikes come from how power ups work and certain enemies. 1) Weapon power ups are both timed and ammo limited (of which there isn't that much to begin with). I think they should have just picked one or the other here, both feels unnecessarily punishing. 2) Too difficult to determine which spell you have equip based on its "Rune Sign". Nobody is going to memorize those weird glyphs and I found a few of the spells to be a really big distraction. 3) Ranged AoE attacks do not show a ground marker for the area in which they are going to land. This causes a bit of a guessing game about where you were standing when the attack went off which I dislike. With a few tweaks here and there and I would have scored this higher but its still pretty good for a quick play here and there.
