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.

I've gone on a bit of a buying spree this week (too much), HellDiver, Skull & Bones, Lords of the Fallen, some other smaller titles. I said no more crazy, that's enough for the year. Then I saw this one. I love sci-fi mecha, smups, top-down twin stick shooters, and said, "OK, this one looks really cool. One more game then." And I''m not disappointed. No buyers remourse here. I absolutely love it. I'm obviously not very far. So, I can't speak to the overall experiance really solid. Great atmospher, good mechanics. If you're a fan of these kinds of shooters, I think you'll be in to it as much as I am. I'm a very green, novis, wanna be, game developer and it's games like this that make me feel like, "Give it up. You'll never make anything this freakin cool."

Game is pretty fun i recommend it
Slight edit: i should also mention that the game is very short. As you can see me and my buddy beat it in less than 5 hours. But the game has SO MUCH potential... too bad it was forgotten by the devs.

A nice short top down action shooter about robots and with robots.
The story can be meh or good, depending on what games you previously played. This is because of its theme and somewhat plot twists.
The pacing is good. You get breathers and you get intense action. Good ballance.
The characters are fun and unique in their skills and kit. I loved the soldier.
Graphic is nice, bgm and music are meh.
Some bad things, stuff that I didnt like:
- game is too easy even on hard
- no real setback when you die. No incentive to play it safe or use a strategy.
- some bosses are bullet sponges
Dont know how co-op is, but single player is fun. Give it a try if you want to feel like a bootleg Transformer.

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.

Acceptably amusing.
The shooty robots were enjoyable but there should have been more to shoot. Grinding upgrades and using alternate characters provided some replay but the (forgettable) story got in the way every single time. Skip... skip... skipskipskip... shoot.
