Trigger Runners

Trigger Runners is a marriage of endless runner and 2D shooter, presented well but ultimately a pretty average game that barely squeaks by with the addition of some ridiculously fun bosses. The sprite artwork is nice, but the artwork during the cutscenes is a little amateurish. The chiptune soundtrack is good. Gameplay, however, is mostly underwhelming: You run automatically through the level, jumping over chasms and aiming your gun to shoot the enemies before they can attack you. Jumping in this game is pretty wonky, so a significant part of the game's challenge lies in a couple of particularly tricky sections that require precise jumps that the game really doesn't let you perform. Trigger Runners' greatest shortcoming, though, is that it lacks a good balance of difficulty. Normal mode is really very easy, but Hard mode might well be too difficult to finish the game on, forcing you to decide between a course of gameplay that is either unsatisfying or frustrating. That said, the thing that really redeems this game, the aspect that saves it from mediocrity, is the boss battles. Boss design in Trigger Runners is incredible, requiring the player to juggle attacking the boss's main body to kill it with attacking the parts that will cause it to run you over or shoot back at you. The bosses in this game are just really, really fun to fight. That doesn't make all of the general "meh"-ness go away, but it definitely makes it a safe recommendation, if only by a nose.

Amei o jogo, simplesmente FANTÁSTICO! ótimas músicas, ótima gameplay, além de entregar uma ótima gameplay pelo preço. Apenas um contra, que seria a falta de explicação da história.

マウスで照準＆射撃、スペースキーでジャンプ 洗練されてないイラストが妙に憎めないゲーム メタスラみたいなアクションゲーではありません もともとスマホを前提に作ったもののようで、 キャラは左端固定でジャンプのみの限定された操作で 自動スクロールの面を駆けるシューティングゲームです 操作の簡易さ故に敵の攻撃のバリエーションも限られ 低難易度ならサクサクプレイできると思います 途中ちょっと詰まっても1時間ほどでクリアでした 高難易度は全体的に敵が固くなるようです グラフィックは全体的に洗練されてない感じがありますが なんとなく憎めないドット絵の愛らしさや 時々おっと思わせるグラフィックの面白さがあって 凄く応援したい気持ちになったのでレビューを書きました スマホ版と比較しても咎めるような値段ではないですし 本編とはぜんぜん画風の違うカードも実装されたみたいです 肩の力を抜いて懐かしい気分に浸かりたい人は気が向いたらどうぞ なお、スタート画面には終了ボタンが無いっぽいので 私はAlt+F4で落としてました

Short, simple, sweet, sentimental. These are the words I would use to sum up Trigger Runners. Done in a retro style, its music and graphics hearkening back to the games of yesteryear, it's a pleasant throwback compared to what we usually see. Gameplay is brief, only about thirty minutes, but it does strike me as reasonably replayable, obviously needed in this format. The story, told via cutscenes, is basic but endearing. The biggest flaw I see is that the jumps should take a heart away rather than automatically kill you, as they really seem to be the hardest opponents in the game. Besides that, the gun needs to have a broader angle - you should be able to shoot all around you. Shooting stuff just under you is impossible at present. The only other issue is a part where, with the "barrier" shooting on one level, the little bombs you couldn't blow up blocked your shots, making it nigh impossible to not get hit. It also needs a volume control on the options menu, as well as the ability to pause when a boss is loading. Does this have particularly engaging gameplay? No. Most bosses are very easy and lack defining traits. But it is a fun, quaint little game to just kick back with and enjoy. Retro, cheap, and has trading cards? I'll take it. Especially recommended if on sale.

awful and boring
