a review just below me likened this to devil daggers but bad
this is devil daggers but actually fun. while it still has some pitfalls due to the nature of these "endless simple shooters" , it makes it infinitely more enjoyable by 1) making it so you can be hit by more than one thing and 2) movement. however that does not make me enjoy the game for more than a while. i find this genre so boring, because all it boils down to is "run in a circle killing shit while more shit spawns until you inevitably die. and they dont give a million different options for killing shit, its either the melee attack or an SMG. and while i dont have a problem with such limited options in general, in this context it breeds boredom. id want actual levels designed for such mechanics, and afaik this game will not be more than an endless shooter. i dabble in cybergrind every now and again, but my main reason for loving ultrakill isnt cybergrind, its the levels and perfecting them.
don't get me wrong, i did enjoy the game when it got chaotic. with the added movement it's certainly better than devil daggers. but its cumbersome to start a run over and over again and never feel like youre making any progress, getting angry and dying earlier and earlier. i think im gonna refund this one, but im happy i got to try it out.
maybe ill check it out in a few years again.
ps, if this review reads poorly i had a much better review but i deleted it accidentally so i rushed this one trying to remember all the points i made but the prose is worse.
