Utopia Must Fall

I've seldom had such a love-hate relationship with a game before. It is terribly addictive and fun, yet also infuriating and RNG BS. If you like oldschool games like Missile Command, retro aestetics and vector-style graphics, as well as uninstalling and reinstalling a game several times in the same day, do give it a try!

Love the game! - Love the visuals! There isn't anything terribly wrong with how the game is made or how it plays... But the absurd difficulty spike after the first couple of waves make this game completely unplayable and just kills it for me. I get it's challenging, I don't shy away from one but there has to be a balance. This is NOT balance, it goes from easy and cranks it all the way up to 1000 after the first 2 or three waves. The upgrades either don't work or just simply aren't powerful enough to make any sort of difference that is noticeable. - I've tried many combinations and I can't really tell if any of them actually do anything or give me any sort of advantage, I guess the ARC Flail does, but barely. It becomes almost useless after a couple of waves. - The Nukes do work but you only get three of them, so it doesn't hand you any advantage either. You get forced to deploy them because the game throws the kitchen sink at you and even after that, you still get overwhelmed. Stop making games with souls like difficulties because it doesn't cater for those that just want to enjoy them, we aren't all masochists. I don't mind being forced to think about my playstyle or what upgrades I need to buy or attain to make it through the game or level, that's fine. But don't force me to "git gud" by making me re-start it all 500 times before I make some sort of breakthrough. That sort of grind and repetitiveness doesn't hook me and the game will just be chucked in my steam bin of "Games that I genuinely like and want to play but the masochistic difficulty renders them unplayable"

It's like if Space Invaders was good

Quite engaging.

awesome graphics, music, and vibes. relatively simple yet addictive gameplay.

i like shooting aliens

Early access review: The game plays amazing and looks very promising. Getting to the "ending" is difficult and requires a lot of skill, which I think is good because it keeps you coming back for more. For me it took about 8 hours to defeat the "final" boss. My criticism is that it's a bit thin on content. There needs to be about twice as much of everything. More upgrades, more possible ways to build, more enemy types and variety. More main weapon types, and more branches to specialize in. Considering it is early access, that's expected, but will hopefully change.
