Starting off, I have to say I love the CONCEPT for the game. A rougelike shooter in which you mutate over time using the parts of monsters you kill? That's pretty neat. The music is nice, and the graphics look great. My only gripe with the game is my ability to play it.
I play on a dinky laptop. I got this game through the racial justice pack, and was really excited to try this game. Sadly, I don't think I ever will. Yes, the graphics are one aspect, but there is more.
Firstly, the settings for accessibility are decent at best. With only a slider for master and music volume, I can't hear any of the dialogue from the tutorial clearly, what with the background noise being so loud and there being no captions for the voice. If it weren't for the onscreen instructions I wouldn't have known what to do. The control menu also seems to not work? At least, I can't see all of my options clearly.
When I play the game, it's difficult to see what I'm doing too. The camera is angled in a way that I can see the general gist of what's going on, but can't tell what is what. I cannot aim properly or even tell what is a piece of terrain or part of the backdrop. The movement makes my game lag like there's no tomorrow, and it's pretty difficult to even open a box, not to mention shooting while avoiding projectiles. And I play on keyboard, I've seen the comments about controller controls.
Out of my very short gameplay up until the "energy fortress" area of the first map, my game crashed twice . On first loadup of a new game and after a few minutes in the fortress.
I'd love to play this game, but with the way it's turned out, I can't enjoy it.
