Shooty Shooty Robot Invasion

definitely an acquired taste, this game hearkens back to the age-old era of the absurdist animation of the late 90s and early Aughts popularized by MTV and Adult Swim and i love it. I found the controls to be a bit clunky but that only seemed to add to the overall "feel" of the game, which, itself, presents as clunky and surreal. If you're intrigued by the trailer than you'll probably like the game which combines the aforementioned animation/illustration style primarily with FPS and VN game-mechanics a long with a myriad of minigames (guests?) which utilize a myriad of other familiar gaming tropes. These components come together to create a piece of amusing (if not downright hilarious depending on one's sense of humour) piece of media greater than the sum of its parts.

I'm actually pretty sad this game didn't get more attention, it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ rocks! It's worth your time because its fun, its charming, and it stays pretty consistent while surprising you along the way; with a lot of varied gameplay, sick art, and great writing to back it up. Shooty and the gang end up being way more than the run-of-the-mill kooky comedy shooter protagonists and while the game is pretty story heavy, the story and comedy kicks ass so it doesn't matter. There's a big variety of enemies and boss fights that are fun and satisfying to smash through, and they don't ever wear thin. The whole game is just a really fun ride up till the end! minor complaints: there's a lot of set-dressing npcs that bounce around arenas and it makes it hard to tell what's happening in combat sometimes. The first level is kind of weak in design, its supposed to be a big playground for you to adjust to your controls but really it ends up confusing, the later levels are way cooler. Sound and music is alright, nothing really standout. Overall: I hope to god they make a sequel to this, or at least a comic or something, no seriously I love the characters and would pay to see more of them in probably anything.
