What players say
I'll start out with the cons, so you are left with the good at the end and don't feel like this game is really bad, because it's not. It is a really fun game after you play it for about 3 hours. Cons: -Controls are a little clunky and take a bit to get used to. -You can die by your own nades and proximity mines -Sometimes the continuous enemy spawns can get annoying -Ammo runs out quick if you don't use it...

Was looking for an alternative to Helldivers and didn't pay attention that no online coop was present. Nevertheless, SC: MIA is a really good twinstick shooter. The story is simple but the small cutscenes are funny and well realized. The amount of weapon and abilites is great and can prepare different strategies and way to play it. The survival on the other end, is for now some kind of buggy if you're not following...
This is a top down, zero Hack and slash shooter with different class n guns It's.... BORING, the Story are MEH, i would rather play that Free game, Alien Swarm instead, this? It had boring story, boring weapon, boring skills, and so little things to do, and yet, it forces you to max out your toon... can you imagine farming exp kill with pistol? and with other weapons? Just because that's the only thing left to be...
