Too stimulating to be tedious, but too bland to be engaging.

One of many "switch your brain off and chat with the lads" games, but a game that everyone's PC will be able to run. Though, this comes with the sacrifice of being able to see each others attacks and explosions, so you can't really show off to your friends while playing or comment on what each other is doing.

If you liked playing Borderlands with your friends, you'll get a kick out of it. A soft kick. More of a punt than a kick.

UPDATE
A toybox full of bootleg Chinese action figures

Downloaded a maxed out save file, cranked it up to max difficulty. Game is actually good now. Much bigger variety of weapons and power ups. Enemies also get these crazy Diablo prefix power ups and the game is happy to throw an absurd amount of goons at you.

The grind also really sucks, because "unlock permanent things" money can be spent to upgrade for just a run, so it feels like the game loves to tax that currency.

Fuck the grind. Cheaters never lose.

(oh, and i think you can see other players bullets and actions? idk, seems inconsistent? may also be a product of my super low graphics settings)
