Fun pew-pew times that you could experience even in cooperative multiplayer. I'm not the type of guy who cares a lot about lore/story/aesthetics, but I can appreciate good ones and here these are a killer. And the sound design and voice acting are also a banger. Looks like the genre of top-down shooters is one of my favourites. Similar solid fun games:
Helldivers
Alien Swarm/Reactive Drop
Red Hot Vengeance
Similar bad/flawed games:
Hatred

not my usual type of game but really fun. story is kind of cheesey but it feels like a game ,like something you want to close and come back to the next day and not like a chore (my subjective take on other top down games)

I want to like it... I want to like it. The game has some solid production value with nice shiny graphics, lots of unlockables, loadouts a la Call of Duty, voice-acted characters with their own personalities, tons of bullets all over, etc. etc.
Basically, this game has a lot going for it. A LOT.
I just don't like it. I tried this in the hope that it would be a nice twin-stick shooter, and it is. The core gameplay is just too similar to virtually all twin-stick shooters: Shoot. Dodge. Run. Shoot some more. I personally found that the addition of a story, the surprisingly good graphics for the genre, and all of its production value simply doesn't do quite enough to get me past the same gameplay that I'm personally very tired of. I'll recommend the game simply for the good parts of it, because my own bias doesn't deny that the game itself is good. If you love a good twin sticker, you'll probably enjoy the heck out of this. I'm happy to look for something else and let other people enjoy it.

It is a solid top down shooter that I highly recommend WITH friends but not solo simply because when you play solo your far more likely for the game to bug out in ways like the game not recoginizing you have killed a boss and now your stuck and need to redo the whole level with a high chance of it just happening again anyway but in co op I had it only happen twice in the 45 hours I played. Some decent movesets that definitely make the robots differ enough from one another to set themselves apart and bring something new to the fight. I honestly almost gave this one a bad review for how many bugs I encountered solo but was just fun enough to keep it in the green. Get it very cheap.

A short but really delightful experience, some of the most fun i had with a twinstick shooter. The combat is always exciting, the abilities of each class are all well implemented. You are really getting stronger as you level up in this game which gives a nice sense of progression. Even playing solo, this game is really fun and very much recommended if you dont mind the short campaign. Its also very replayable and you can switch between classes at any time.

9 out of 10
Co-op up to 3 players
Top down twin stick shooter with i-frame dodges.
Played through the campaign with one friend and it took about 7 hours to complete. Never got to fully finish the game after Alpha dies because the game bugged out at the same point on two retries; its a 9 year old game at this point (I don't fault the devs for this).
Game play is great, graphics are stellar, controls are spot on, effects substantial but not blinding, sound is top notch, class system is nothing but cherries on top of an exceptional dessert. Lots of love poured in to this art.
The other weapons / guns in on the mechs are clunky to swap to and use in heated fire fights; rarely switched off of my primary weapon.
