Довольно хорошая игра. Особенно если вам нравится Doom и ему подобные игры. Сюжет хороший и только. Рисовка и анимация супер под ретро мультфильмы 40х годов, что придает особого шарма игре. вцелом игра на 7,5(8)/10
solid game. would recommend.
Jestem dopiero po niespełna 4 godzinach gry i zachęcam do zagrania. Gra jest stworzona z polotem, oryginalna, zabawna, klimatyczna. Wszystko działa jak należy. Znakomita oprawa graficzna, jeszcze lepsza oprawa dźwiękowa! Świetny produkt.
Le tenia muchas ganas a este juego desde que veia los avances en su desarrolló, es un hecho que es estilo artistico de este juego llama la atención desde el primer instante, y debo admitir que cumplió con mis espectativas. La musica mayormente en los combates la siento un poco apagada, a excepcion de algunos temas de jefes/combates que tienen las mismas vibras de acción de los jefes de Cuphead y le dan un toque brutal a los combates, en ambos casos la musica sigue manteniendo ese estilo a juego con lo visual. La historia es lo que uno se esperaria en un juego con este apartado visual, en lo personal me gustó bastante. No esperaba que fuera tan larga, cosa de la que realmente no me quejó ya que hace que su precio valga la pena (Me tardé unas 20 horas jugando con relativa calma sin enfocarme del todo en misiones secundarias ni coleccionables) Un detalle que pondria es que, almenos en los demás idiomas, es un poco molesto que te pongan dialogos en medio combate ya que no te puedes detener a leer los subtitulos y te puedes perder algunas lineas. Y como era de esperarse el juego aun cuenta con varios bugs, que almenos en mi caso se solucionaban con un simple cargado de punto de control o en el peor de los casos reiniciando el juego, pero siguen siendo pasables
Интересная игрушка. Хорошая рисовка, есть свои интересные механики.

Непоганий шутер в стилі мультів про Мікі Мауса 30-х років,Граю дуже динамічна та не затягнута, сюжет пролітається за 20 годин.
길잡이 기능, 선형적인 스토리, 난이도 조절 기능 등을 고려했을 때 라이트한 계열의 게임. 적을 잡고 주변 자원을 활용해 탄환 수급과 체력 회복을 해야하는 점에서 DOOM 시리즈와 같은 부머 슈터 장르를 느낄 수도 있다. 특히 느와르 분위기와 배후에 큰 세력이 있고, 음모를 꾸미고 있는 분위기와 전반적인 스토리 흐름은 마음에 들었다. 다만 추리 게임이라고 하기엔 다소 부족한 면이 있어 보였다. 그렇지만 흑백의 독특한 갬성과 총 간의 밸런스가 좀 애매하지만 그래도 쏘는 게 재미있어서 나쁘지 않게 즐긴 게임.
