i really liked the graphics along with the partially destructible environment and plenty of explosions. nice for when i wanted to not think much but shoot a lot.

the story comes between the bits where you’re actually playing the game, and isn’t tied into the gameplay in any meaningful way. someone came up with an interesting complex world to set this game in, but you only get a hint of the edge of it.

the interface for the upgrade system looked cool but didn’t do a good job of relaying the information i wanted. i’m not sure if some upgrades require that i get earlier upgrades first or how many upgrade points any upgrade would need, or even how many upgrade points i currently have. i did like the element of choice in it though.

i played through on easy and died a few times, not always when fighting a boss. usually the restore point was pretty reasonable, though there was one point i needed to hit a bunch of switches and i may have restored to before i hit one of them because i had to do it again. overall a pretty okay game — likely worth checking out if you already have it, but if you’re looking for something like this there are probably better options out there.
