Ok, first off, I get that the game is free and is a student project. But with that said, I would be mad if I paid $1 for this sloppy garbage game. Its basically a try hard cheap discount rip off of Risk of Rain 2 and fails hard. Just go play that.
Controls are clumsy. It feels lazy and unfinished. If I was buddy's with the students who made it, I am sure I would be stoked to play it. But I am not. I am a general consumer and I have to compare it to the rest of my options and the general quality I see in the market.
No proper controller support, just mouse emulation. Cant reload while aiming, only sometimes auto reloads while trying to fire... guns are way easier to aim when things are far away but harder when they are close. That is a problem. I am missing point blank with a rocket launcher, but I can snipe from across the map easy with a rifle. Jankiness. Jumping feels stiff and numb. Frustratingly unpolished menus and controls. Like just exiting the menu you have to mouse over "resume" you cant just B button out. Also, even though there is no on-line feature that I can see, the game wont pause when you try to enter your inventory menu. The bones of a decent game are here, but apparently the devs have no love for this one and will never properly finish it. Kids have no follow through these days. I can relate.
With just a little fixing up and polish, I could see paying $7-$10 bucks for it, which means you could list it for $20 and I would buy it on sale maybe. But as it is now, "free student project" is not good enough to guilt me out of not recommending it.
