This game turns into a genuine visual novel by level three. No this is not an overexaggeration. Which is a real shame because there is the bones of a genuinely entertaining game here, but whatever could have been was buried under 7 metric tons of cringy millennial/stoner humor and it absolutely REFUSES to break away from that. I spent more time clicking through mostly unfunny jokes and cutscenes that last WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too long than I did shooting robots which is unacceptable for a game who's title is literally SHOOTY SHOOTY ROBOT INVASION!!! (Although a couple of the jokes did make me chortle a little and the gameplay/bosses were super fun and engaging, all this game did was make me upset at what it said it was vs what it ACTUALLY was. I really hope this helps the developer learn because there's some genuine passion put into it. I just feel like that passion blinded them from making a game that is fun to play.)
A friend got this for me, and I am surprised how much I got into this game. It's enough that I'm bothering to write a review for it, which I don't do as often as I should, but this game hardly has any reviews so I need to add another one to the pile until this game gets more attention. This game starts off rather unassuming. For the first level or two the game is fun enough, with some genuinely laugh out loud moments, but generally is just establishing the world, characters, and tone of the game. Nothing crazy, but nothing bad. Level 3 is where this game, in my opinion, starts really kicking into gear. Suddenly you have interesting developments occurring with plot, characters, and the gameplay itself. In addition, the secret extra task you can do each level starts to layer upon themselves as well, becoming more intriguing. I was fully invested in this game by the time I beat level 4 and HAD to see this through to the end. What seemed like a very jokey and silly game world had a surprising amount to say in a "commentary" sort of sense about the state of things, which while maybe is not the most ground breaking ever, I haven't seen done in a game before about the topics explored, and not like this. It made for a very engaging playthrough, plus I was fully acclimated to the writing by this point so everything landed better. I won't give any spoilers or discussion on the game from that point forward, but suffice to say, it was a fun experience and one that I would recommend people give a try, even if you aren't really into shooters or wacky writing. It's a short experience, not too difficult for the regular levels and not too easy for the secret tasks, and left me wanting more. I am hopeful that the creator follows this up with the very obvious sequel potential that has been set up, which can even allow for the game name to mostly be the same as this one to make it clear it's a series. In summary, it's fun to play, has enjoyable writing, and left me eager to delve into anything else this dev has made, which is the best thing that any game can do in my opinion.
Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion is a game that features many types of lesbian, and gives them all a gun
Would have been much better served as VN or an adventure game, because the FPS combat and movement sucks ass. Project Absentia is a the far better ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Newsground Flash-esque FPS.
i need mercy so bad, i can fix her
its incredibly refreshing to play a cute funny type game that is also very gory, crass, and horny
gets real boring real fast
I absolutely *ADORE* this game, the characters are all each unique from how they talk, body-shape and the way they act. The story is charming though out the entire runtime of the game. I really can't state how much I love this game!! [u] There are negatives of course, [/u] the music in this game is lackluster, non of it is bad, just like really boring and no memorable parts were you want to sing along with the song. At least for me (and other people in discussion bords of this game) the game pushes GPUs to the absolute max for some reason? I just played the game in a non-fullscreen so my GPU did explode. Their was also some visual bugs I saw while playing nothing outrageous though. Anywho, thanks for reading and hope you enjoy the game if you do end up buying it!
The art style and idea for the game is great but the combat feels stiff, somehow complicated yet too simple at the same time. I really wanted to love this game but partially through it I decided it's not really for me, the game has potential but the way the game mechanic works is just not it for me. I think a more fast and smooth movement could possibly improve my experience. If you're there for the art and story this probably will be a lot more enjoyable for you, but if you're planning to play it for the combat... I cannot honestly reccomend the game from my experience.
I'm The ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, and I'm here to say SSRI rules. Oh, and also Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion is pretty good too. It's what the box says exactly, an Absurd FPS/Interactive Fiction where you kill stupid idiot robots, talk to just-as-if-not-more stupid idiot people (and even kill one of them, as I found out), and explore a fully hand-drawn world. Gameplay: Gonna be honest, this might be the weaker part of the game, but do not let that deter you from buying it. Just cause it's the weakest doesn't mean it's not good, it's pretty decent I'd say. Not exactly mind breaking though. I like the katana though, pretty cool. Story: robot stinky, human cool sometimes, and vote for Jack Duddie. I'm not saying anything else here, play the game dingus. Writing: Very Good, Very Nice, Very Funny even. I'd say Level 2 has the best comedy writing. Graphics and General Look: "THIS ♥♥♥♥ MEANS SOMETHING TO ME MAN" It's absolutely incredible.
