What players say
This is a soft recommend I think. There's a lot to like about this game. The gameplay is fast paced and satisfying, the SFX (especially the gibs) are crunchy, the weapons feel quite good to shoot for an indie shooter, there is a fairly diverse arsenal of weapons, the level design is fun, creative, and often quite varied. What's the problem? The enemy behavior/AI. The enemy AI is probably this game's biggest issue in...
