Awesome action !

This makes for a solid movement shooter there with the dash and regenerating hp it kinda has a bit of a Halo gamefeel to it.

While not as narrative driven as your previous entry i still like the premise and the spin you took of facing this army as a preventive move before it is unleashed onto the world.

I managed to play through it till the end and had quite some fun, though my baked potato of a PC struggled a little bit whenever there were a lot of rocket bots firing (i assume cause of the trail effects)but luckily it didn't slow down to the point of it being unplayable :p

Regardless cool slice on display here, good job :)

Thanks for the feedback! I would've loved to make a prologue sorta thing with story elements (hence the backstory dump on the game page), actual levels (or a single larger level) that you progress through but couldn't due to time (and possibly skill issues .-.), and cause I'd also have to create 3D art assets to fit such as what you'd expect from a factory assembly line for example.

The VFX were from a free asset pack, and too high quality for the retro aesthetic I was going for. I would've loved to have been able to create retro looking VFX but couldn't due to time and maybe skill issues. (A lot of retro/PS1 VFX tutorials I saw weren't for Unreal's particle systems >_>). Thanks anyways!

Well there's only so much one can do solo in such a short time, so the story dump was fine ^^ same goes for levels even if i'm curious as to what a campaign would be with that gameplay this could be quite cool, and you could keep the arena/horde mode as a bonus mode or something. Oh and i'm sure it's more a time than a skill issue.

Well i don't know much about Unreal engine but from what i've seen the engine seems geared towards super fancy HD stuff so i'd imagine that to make a retro style in it is quite challenging and again i'm sure it's more of a time thing here again.

Yeah tutorials on specific stuff can be hard to find depending on the engine, and i think a great majority of resources around are about Unity since it's the most used and oldest of then engines used by indies.
