there's no need to really mince words : visually, the game could have used something more. i don't think it needs to look *better*, but more colors would be very welcome.

with that said, the real concern is the gameplay. and i think it's quite fun? a lot of beat em ups, even the better ones, usually can be summarized as "mash buttons". this game offers a lot of interactivity with the environment and items. it allows a lot more freestyling in how you beat up enemies, who WILL fight back and make you eat dirt if you don't try to play the game, with the big pay off being able to pull off more specials if you play properly.

i suppose you can scream about big telegraphs and ground markers but in spite of that i still have fun playing this game. this game will probably piss of double dragon fans because yeah it probably doesnt live up to what fans would want but as i said, i still have a lot of fun with this game, and i usually struggle to pick up most beat em ups because they really offer no meat on the bones.

i do think the price tag will turn away a lot of people, which is a shame, because i think the game is more interesting than it lets on. as actual criticism : some moves, like wall kicks and ground attacks, feel a bit iffy to pull off, and i kind of wish eventually they fix some of the rougher edges to offer a bit more consistancy on that front.

a genuinely funny game. absolutely a quarter muncher with some of its design (bullets aren't numerous but are particularly fast) but with the assist options it's a decent time. unfortunately this isn't the meme version, but despite not knowing much about the game i still found the amount of options more than satisfying. probably not the best shmup to practice scoring with but at least an interesting one to me!

objectively this isn't "terrible" but there really isn't much to do here, and i am not someone picky on gameplay or how many mechanics need to exist in a game. weird music visualizer that's more of a vibe than a game. if you want a music-mapping game, go check out Audiosurf, Beat Hazard or their sequels.

this ain't berserk but if you can ever find this in a bundle or on sale it is an alright twin-stick arcade shooter. pure scoring gameplay and not much else.

easy to pick up and hard to master, and also it's like 3 dollars so

every segment should be like 10% shorter but it's not hard to see why this became the blueprint for a lot of games

as of writing this, servers are still up. the game is cheap, so get a handful of your friends and log in dude, fly some ships and shoot each other down. i have done worse for 5 dollars.

it's a tower defence game that's more focused on a "campaign" than something more traditional like bloons, and i do not think it is very much worth your time overall. it's *fine* but there's better games and series, like the aforementioned bloons, amongst many others.

i thought the recent reviews about this game crashing a lot were exaggerated. they were not. on top of that, considering what happened to EA, just don't buy this game. you deserve better.

classic inti create game, i have no idea what happened and it feels weird but i'm sure once i get my hands on the full game and figure it out it'll click and i'll yell off the rooftops how great this game is
