Evet bu oyunu indirimdeyken sorf çizimleri çok güzel bendye benziyor felan diye aldım ve kesinlikle çok iyi bir oyun ben oyunu %100 ledim ama bence çok da gerek yok beyzbol maçı oynamaktan iflahım kesildi ama mantığı anlayınca çok basit çünkü karşı bot sürekli aynı hamleleri yapıyor oyunun hikayesi güzel devamı gelcekmiş gibi vibe aldım sonda karakterler iyi normal düz oynasan çok sarıyor silahlar ortalama o da bazı silahlar rezil rüsva olduğu için yoksa pek bi sıkıntı yok oyunun savaşma mekanikleri basit herkesin zorlanmadan bitirebileceği bir oyun yapmışlar bence onun dışında indirimde yakalarsanız alın çok pahalı bir oyun çünkü
Довольно интересно в такой стилистике поиграть, для меня что-то новое
别只看评分就入cdk 很容易头晕慎入 色彩非常单调 比doom跟战锤爆矢枪还要晕
Come in for the throwback aesthetics, stay for the fun old-school FPS. I didn't fine the game particularly challenging, but enjoyed it. The balance of the game led me to stick to a few of the weapons pretty consistently, ran into a bug here and there, and a couple of the achievements seem to be broken.
The combination of a somewhat serious story with a cartoony atmosphere was interesting in a good way. My only complaint is that 2D characters in a 3D environment look bad.
Great chill game!! I played a Xbox rog ally with a little tweak run smooth at 60 fps
cool art style decent story
La verdad es que no me llamaba la atención la onda del juego en blanco y negro, pero después de un rato de estar jugado se aprecia mucho la escala de grises que tiene y la ambientación en general (si ves tu teléfono mientras jugas se siente demasiado colorida la pantalla jajaja) Igualmente el juego es Excelente! La jugabilidad en sí es muy fluida y atractiva para jugar (tiene tintes de Doom), la ambientación es fantástica (si te gusta la onda de esa época, pero en general es muy buena), la música que pega tan bien junto con la calidad de animación muy dibujito viejo pero mejorado es espectacular y la trama vale la pena irla desenvolviendo de a poco y disfrutarla nivel a nivel (buscar los coleccionables nunca creí que se hiciera tan entretenido jaja uno de ellos tiene un minijuego para conseguir un secreto muy interesante) Lo recomiendo muchísimo a este juego, un sigleplayer para disfrutar por muchos buenos ratos y terminarlo con ganas de más (y a precio bastante accesible, yo no compro si no hay un descuento igualmente jaja)
Idk 'bout 30 baseball wins, but it's a solid game.
Great game
