Pax Autocratica

91/100

While I find the game fun, I find it unbalanced. Especially the first real boss fight with the Gorilla Mech. That entire arena is open meaning the only way to avoid death is running laps and stopping when he stops to see if he is using an explosive jar. The Graboid-like enemies also need a nerf. Every 2 seconds it seemed like they were spitting out more poison forcing me to move away from the objective, and if not for a perk, I would have failed a mission because too many spawned at once and eliminated my entire team with said poison/toxins. The base building also feels unnecessarily tedious/slow because you can finish all tier 1 upgrades long before getting access to tier 2 materials. With the negatives out of the way, I did enjoy the gunplay. The SMG seems overpowered compared to the rest of the options, but I enjoyed it. Do I think it needs to be nerfed? No, just buff the other guns so they feel viable. I also enjoyed the rogue-like aspect, but waiting for the reward node to be accessible needs to be changed. If I can unlock a perk, make it instantly accessible, making me wait and then subsequently fight through enemies if excessive. I also misheard a line of dialogue, and 100% think it needs to be added. "I am redistributing freedom."
