Machine Armor Zero

It feels super early on development, but its already fun! I Hope it gets a lot of updates :D

Jank, grindy, poorly optimized, completely unbalanced, and three out of four characters are locked behind a paywall. This is garbage. It's a vampire survivors clone with zero of the fun or power fantasy you'd expect out of the genre. The moment you get slightly too far into the game everything slows down because the game speed is tied to your frames. Every weapon pales in comparison to the miniguns incredible damage. Nothing is satisfying to kill because you don't even know half the time if you are hitting something due to a weird delay in the healthbars updating and no damage numbers, topped off with the overall spongeyness of the enemies growing incredibly quickly. Every round is the same, and the only reason you can't just beat the game right off the bat is because of clearly gated bosses that ramp up super quickly to force you to use the metaprogression currencies you get to boost stats. Also, I think you are suppose to be able to fly or something, but the keybind just didn't work for me so I just had to out tank and out dps the bullcrap hitscan lasers of the enemies about 20ish minutes into the game (which was more likely 30-40 minutes due to the fps slowdown). You battle basically the same enemies that just get more health for like the first 15 minutes or so and it is an incredibly boring and tedious thing. You'd be insane not to use the aura that damages things all around you because it just basically instantly regenerates all of your bullets to max constantly, although it does like zero damage. This game needs major rework to be good despite being almost done or halfway through it's early access phase (store page specified 1-2 years, it's been a year) and I'm just not seeing it. I might be tripping, but I remember playing a demo for this awhile back and it was a mission based game, so maybe that changed or I'm misremembering.
