An incredibly fun and chaotic co-op pve shooter. A bit sparse on content imo but still leagues better than 90% of other live service games at launch. The clear Starship Troopers inspiration is great and really funny.
Anyway yeah this game is really solid and does mostly live up to the hype. The most enjoyable co-op experience I've had in a game since the days of playing Halo split screen with my friends.

The ultimate celebration and culmination of not just Xenoblade, but the entire Xeno series as a whole.
I've never been more excited to see where a series goes next in my life

Marathon meets anime
It's refreshing to see a modern retro-styled "Boomer shooter" take more influence from Bungie's 1994 Mac classic as opposed to the typical Doom/Quake/Duke3d inspired crowd that has dominated the genre. I love Marathon and anything even remotely close is enough to catch my eye.
Unfortunately though, as much as I want to love it, the game is far from perfect. The actual gunplay and mechanics are solid and the visuals are nice and full of really cool anime girl gore sprites, but it's all held back by really amateurish level design, rudimentary ai, and environments all made up of an incredibly small number of textures, making every environment look the same.
This is a game that looks like something I'd love and was inspired by games I DO love. It's good but didn't quite live up to my expectations.
