First GOTM finished for November 2023. Better version to Cybernator due to better dialogue and character portraits. The music is so good in this game, it looks nice, the weapon variety is fun and upgradeable, and the movement has some weight to it (making it feel more like a proper mecha game). However, the decision to make your gun aim wherever you are moving is absolutely dreadful, and lends itself to my biggest issue with the game - it's stupid hard. Were it not for save states, I highly doubt I would've beaten this one. Certainly a skill issue, but my enjoyment of a game tends to drop precipitously the more I have to constantly replay, replay, and replay a section of a level (or, potentially in this case, the entire game). I'd recommend it for sure, but know it might kick your ass.
