Shell Runner

has a few pretty bad bugs but the overall gameplay and progression is serviceable. the top down twin stick extraction shooter concept is cool.

It's like Synthetik, but with tedious inventory management.

I bought this on sale and can't wait to see how the developers fine tune this gem in the rough. I also only play with a gamepad. Fast negs/pos: No controller support - except for Legoshis' template = Thank you.! Currently the only way to functionally play on a gamepad. Buggy - updates often Hasn't quite bridged the gap in between kinetic and/or strategic game play - what's on offer is interesting Currently plays like Alien Breed, the aesthetic Neon chrome with the loot/extraction of the division. If you are a fan of any of these, I highly suggest this title. It's in early access and hope they continue into making great steps forward.

Addicting

My friend tried this game through Steam family sharing on my account so this is his review. Sadly made it much more palatable than it is. I will admit top-downs aren't usually my go to for games however I have started enjoying them a bit more. Visuals - 1 point The characters are expansive and impactful however the enemies are repetitive and after a few matches you seem to have seen all the variations available. The backgrounds are cyber-punkish and varied due to random map generation. Gameplay - 0.5 point It is simple to learn but after a few maps it blends sadly. The variety is limited, yes you do have different weapons but the use of them is very simple Replay ability - 1 point It comes down to collecting the shells and improving your build, but it is limited. Story - 0 points Can't say there was even one. Depth of Gameplay - .5 point This is a compound rating including the story, gameplay and parts of what to me makes this game. They were all lackluster, I would say while it has some depth, it does not have enough to overcome the glaring issues. A lack of story, a lack of variety to the play. I played for 3 hours and got 1/3 of the achievements. There were some I should have gotten but they did not trigger. Overall out of a total score of 5 the game gets, 3 points max. Would I recommend this game? Only if it was 5 - 7 dollars or less, it pains me to say it but it failed to be anything special or worthy of recommendation. It has potential but they would need a few more bosses and maps to make it even go up at least a few dollars in worth.

1.0 review : still a big NO. not even fun to play. feel like the devs took the money, push an half-baked clunky 1.0 and run away with the cash.

Pretty Nice game as a rogue like and fun to play around with in terms of weapons and mods
