Livelock

Surprisingly good mech game, with 3 unique types of mechs, each with their own weapons and abilities. The objectives in the campaign could have used more variation than "protect this" and "destroy that". But there are lots of different enemies and lots of the environment can be destroyed as well. I had lots of fun with this game, too bad we never got a sequel. Recommended!

Gameplay: Fun Enough
Visuals: Decent
Voice Acting:... ok
Story: poorly executed
This Franchise have a serious potential if only the story is rewritten entirely

Right out of the gate I had an issue: My 3840x1200 resolution caused the character model on the initial character select screen to cover the button that you need to hit to select the character. They don't give you an opportunity to change the display resolution prior to selecting your character, so it's game breaking. If anyone else runs into this issue, my fix was to change the resolution in VideoSettings.xml, (probably in your Steam/steamapps/common/Livelock/ folder). 1920x1080 made the button accessible.
The game itself seems fun, although I've barely tried it out. I'm already not unhappy with the 77 cents or whatever I paid on the third party site. The dialogue is maybe a little lackluster, but the story isn't terrible, and overall the game feels like a decent Diablo-clone ARPG with robots. I started out on the 'hard' difficulty and I only died once in the first mission; we'll see if that proves to have been a mistake or if it's a fair challenge.
So far it's absolutely a recommend for under a buck. Full price of ten dollars might be a tall ask, but it's a game from 2016, so if you've waited this long to try it out and it's not on sale, it'll be on sale again.

this game was pretty fun.. only 7 hours to beat it, which is good cause it started to get a little mindless at the end. it's pretty casual so if you're looking for something straight forward that you can chew through in a weekend, this is a good option. picked it up for a buck, so the value i got was solid. a sequel might be interesting if they can change up the mechanics and add some deeper customization.

Hi

I finished the game twice—once solo and once with a friend in co-op. Playing solo was enjoyable, but co-op really made the game shine. It feels like the game was balanced with co-op in mind, and that’s where it truly excels.

There is a story, which I do not care about.

There are three distinct classes, each with its own playstyle. The ranged classes are great, while the melee class feels a bit weaker in comparison—though still fun to play. Each class comes with a limited set of loadouts and customization options, which is fine considering the game's short length. What’s great is that all available gear feels useful—nothing is underpowered or redundant.

The bosses are well-designed and don’t take too long to beat, which fits the game’s fast-paced gameplay perfectly.

Level design mainly consists of corridor-style maps, with enough vegetation and structures to differentiate the environments. For a short game like this, the simple level design works well and doesn’t feel repetitive.

Overall, Livelock is a solid, cheap co-op game that’s perfect when you're looking for a short, engaging experience to take a break from your usual games.

I am NOT the target audience for this game at all. I don't like mechas/robots and tow down games usually bore me. That said i LOVED this game. The world, characters, gameplay, etc is so good and well made. It never felt unfair or too hard. I always knew where i was going and how to get there. The UI is nice and easy to read. I appreciate that the devs didn't make explosions and stuff hamper gameplay. There's so much to like. The only negatives is the final boss is way too easy.

For a 90% off game this is pretty cool but only having three characters limits the game a bit I think but other than that it's a steal
