Reviews for "Not Your War"
Neat! I like it.
Nice variety of ennmies. Behaviors is nice, it goes a bit beyond the usual "shooter" gameplay since ennemies can turn around to chase you.
I LOVE the explosions. I like the missile style (trails and booms, reminds me of doomrunner) The graphics are pretty and work well in the gameplay (the contrast is good so we clearly see what we need to see)
I expected the missile frigates front sections to be armored (being gray and heavy-looking) so i tried to get behind them to shoot the exposed black parts.. but it wasnt necessary it seems, i could kill them just as easily by shooting them in front section. Maybe you could add that perk to some ennemies (armored sections that drastically reduce incoming damage when hit)
Good production values. Good increase in difficulty. Good way to show us new ennemies as the game progress.
The missile destroyer's middle line. We can see it sometimes when its rotating.
I expected more weapons for such a large ship. Maybe a second missile laucher (2 waves of 4 missiles) or maybe a weak pea shooter.
The fighters (fast) provoke a bit of lag.
Changing weapon is a problem, i cant control my ship AND switch gun at the same time; i gotta keep moving or else i die in an instant. Change it to SHIFT or whatever button i can touch on the side.
Day 7 is pretty damn hard (must have died 20 times so far) , but what kileld me the most was the controls. Switching gun would take control from me (finger and attention doing something else than dodge) for a split second (and then i die)
Heavy gun have too little rate of fire to be trully usefull. To be "less-than-decent" it NEEDS all upgrades to back it up; piercing, PD turret, reflex. Even then its a sub-par option because the basic gun+ missiles do the same job much better for nearly all scenarios, except heavy drones..
Actually, in the last level it was kind of good... but thats because elite fighters die in one heavy gun shot.
PD turret isnt that usefull. It would be if it could shoot at ennemies when there are no missiles to shoot at.. even there the basic gun does the same job better.
Reflex is sort of usefull.
The last general was a letdown. He was just like the second. i expected a bigger general, or more weapon systems on him. (btw i killed all general with the basic gun + missiles, heavy gun is almost suicide imho, even if it hit harder)
all in all a good game i had fun with.

Good review and good score, thank you. I agree with everything except changing weapons, no problem for me there, then again - I'm a veteran fps player, so I learned to do it fast. Cheers!
liked it
The Graphics where great also the Pictures. it was a nice but the last general was just like the second would have been better if he got an upgrade
Awesome
Good old school top down shooter. Fun enough to play all the way through and challenging enough to feel accomplished at the end.
need some improment
The song and gun fire and background are great!! but you shoul a weapon or ship upgrade shop!
