okay, so first off, i love this game, or atleast the regular release, the negative review is for the open beta, it sucks, enemies have way too much hp and it ruins ahlaf of the movement in this game, its boring and repeetive and for some reason it cut down on the number of guns.

I bought this game after watching a video about a Bolter mod for the game and I am so glad I did. Ignore Steam's Abandonware warning, this game is actively being worked on. I love how this game gets a good mix have high speed, fast hitting combat, with a distinctly retro art style. As a veteran of movement shooters like Titanfall 2 the movement feels fluid and alive, the gun play is amazing, and I am excited to see where this game goes.

Grappling hook is pathetic, dev tried to make it feel like titanfall and failed miserably

okay so review is based off 1.0 beta and if anything happens between launch and now I'll probably say stuff, but none of this is focused around the current EA build. I wanna tackle my biggest issue with the game as it is first. 80 minute long intro. 80 minutes of a kind of alright (positive, i think with it being a beta in mind i did enjoy it) intro to a campaign and then just putting you in the hub, walking you through the basics, and then you start getting to the orange door. After that, the hub feels kinda empty and bland and there's nothing to do. But god why is it 80 minutes to get the the Very Core part of the game? I felt so drained from the game after that but I knew that I was getting into a different game after that (which isn't a good mindset to have) so I felt like I just needed a breather. There's a few comments on the campaign bit itself, checkpoints feel odd, i got softlocked at the Not Titanfall 2 simulation area because the dialogue stops if you keep going, and you also can kinda just run through a lot of it but that didn't feel too bad. just. 80 minutes of a different game. C'mon The game itself is fine. Like, it's okay. it's got good shmovement and neat gun feel and animations ig but like there's just some stuff here that feels off or doesn't make sense. it's got good wallrunning all the movement related to feeling like titanfall is good but it has pole jumping and pole swinging and handles to climb on and it doesn't make much sense (the swinging is a give and take idc tbh) especially with the pole jumping being too strict to start and the handles just not climbing you over the wall at all. I've also played the same stage like 15 times and it seems like it won't change so i just got to go through the same one of two final arenas with The Orange Door and then do it all again. Also it doesn't save properly when you leave (having exit saves is very good by the way thank you tons genuinely) because i lost a good bit of max shields, my weapons got bound to default favorites instead of what they were set to, and the firing modes changed to default. i think proper exit saves helps a lot, proper progression will make the game feel good, and minimizing all the things trying to be done will help. Oh also make the scanner thing not blinding please I also think a few things should change about the economy of the game. Shards feel weird you either have too many or too few and honestly after playing more i don't know exactly if they need changed, but Bunkers. You get a key which is uncommon and can be fairly rare in runs, to open a door with a place that says it has loot, only to need money to get any of the loot. it's my main issue with how shards are because it feels like the game wants a lot of them but also the game doesn't like giving anything but a random loadout and that's it. Also I have an issue with the threat level because it pushes you to save killing enemies for the final encounter of the stage while feeling like it's trying to run a risk of rain idea. I think "punishing" the player for killing enemies or engaging with the regular gameplay loop is bad. i think having it scale off time would be good tbh. As it stands, it has a fundamental feel of a game I could eventually recommend, but given that you'd have 40 minutes to see if the actual game itself is for you, a lot of my current problems with the game, and importantly being stuck on the same stage for 15 stages, I think the game needs a good bit more time.

The game is great just the game feels abandoned no updates for a long time oh well.

Underwhelming to say the least.

Unfinished, unpolished, hasn't been updated in a year, don't bother.
