Completely unoriginal
I wonder if people who gave this game 10's have ever played sidescrolling shooters.
1. This game is ridiculously slow. I spent about 2 hours on it and the speed just doesn't pick up
2. I do the EXACT same thing for every boss, fire away and absorb/reflect the bullets.
3. There are only two shield types, pretty much. Gets old in like 2 minutes.
4. 99% of the pickups are garbage. good luck organizing it.
5. While there's some variety in weaponry, I only had two useful weapons at any time. The rest was either too weak or didn't fire fast/spread enough. Now if you can combine weapons it might be more interesting.
6. There were only 2 types of enemies for like the first 1.5 hours - those that fire regular bullets and those that do nothing. There's more variety later on, but you still end up repeating the same strategy for like 12 waves per level every level.
7. leveling up is boring as hell. One of the fighters gets 1 extra HP per level - wow, you mean I can take like 1% more damage every time I level up?
The good:
decent graphics and responsive controls, but why would you play this game just for that?
