Time Carnage

Great looking wave shooter with varied but "repetitive" enemies despite the variety, but honestly, great looking maps.
The game consists in you going back in time to 4 different Eras, and shooting a bunch of enemies that come at you to fix some time paradox or something.
For the shooting part you get to choose 4 weapons to take with you, these appear in a pedestal where you grab them, when needed, and to reload you just let them go, they return to the pedestal and start reloading. You increase your arsenal by passing levels and Eras, each time you complete one, you unlock a new weapons. They are all 1 handed, so you Akimbo every weapon, yes even snipers and shotguns.
Each Era consist of 4 different levels, so 16 levels total, each level in the campaing has 10 waves (checkpoint every 2 levels) each level can be cleared in ~30min, so ~8hrs just for the Campaign?
Levels look incredibly good, like really really good i dont know if its because i expected them to look cheap that made me so impressed, but yeah, they look nice.
Enemy models also look great, sound sfx and voices are well done, performance was great too.
Biggest and probably only issue, is that enemies feel very repetitive, even across Eras, like the raptors, zombies and robots dont feel different, only a model swap... and same goes with bigger enemies, its just a bigger hitbox... because at least on Normal difficulty it didnt felt like bigger enemies had that much extra HP. Also their animations are kinda lame...
This game could be a great intro to newcommers because its super easy to pickup and play, not really scary because the Shield that protects you keeps enemies at a safe distance, and if you lose your shield, you "die" before it gets intense at all.
I think that when on Sale, this game is a Bargain and easy to recommend. Its a fun no-thinking shoot at everything in a gorgeous looking environment wave shooter, super easy to pickup, play 2-3 levels and come back later, Dumb enemies, sure, but still fun.

Very fun game to kill time with and not only, there is no movement inside, its wave based game which they come at you form different directions, but its a lot of fun just to shoot, swap weapons and continue shooting, def worth it. I got it on sale and prob that's why its so worth it for me.

⚠️ RUMOR CHECKING:
