Reviews for "Space Marine"

Really buggy... Would not let me play past the "Lab" level- I beat it with full health, it gives me credit for 1% and I get $300... OK... No new level. I play again, finish with full health, still only get credit for 1%, but I get $4000... Figure cool I will max out upgrades- nope... they freeze at 4/5 and now I can't play at all- wont let me past the weapon assignment screen.

Now all that aside... the game is too basic... the art is decent but game play is week- Run around shooting aliens to pick up cash with a ridiculously large contact field, wait for boss to show then walk to a corner unload rifle at boss as he approaches. When he gets close, go to the other side... wash, rinse, repeat for unchallenging win...

The game is quite dull and buggy.
The best tactics here is to take your knife (or 5lvl pistol) and mow down WHOLE area by just walking here and there; the only 'but' is that you shouldn't be on their 'fire line' (they don't know melee attacks are spread at wide area) - and you're the arena champion. Same method is suitable for single bosses, but if you fight him one-by-one, it gets ever funnier, because you just need to walk up and down while swinging knife/shooting kampfpistole.
Another aspect is bugs. I found at least three of them. First, five lvl equipment purchases aren't showed anyhow, excepting the picture in the small display: first it still says '4/5; cost: 400$', but on next launch it will say '1/6; cost: 1000$'. Second, arena selection. I could unlock only 4 out of 7 areas and after completing the 4th, it's still 4/7. The third thing to fix is a weapon selection. First, weapon set is ALWAYS being reset to default 1lvl knife and 2 1lvl pistols (guy, you have a rifle! or you haven't?), but it's okay, I guess. Second, NO MATTER what weapon DID you select, during the battle you WILL HAVE the SAME weapon as you HAD LAST TIME (till the first shot). Third (and the most annoying one), you CAN'T select 5LVL KNIFE! Seriously. No, you CAN select it, but you CAN'T start battle with THIS knife. Though, it doesn't affect other upgrades, but whatever.
So, the game has a LOAD to grow.
I hope, this post won't abuse author. That's all.

Not bad, but there's a lot of balancing issues...the hit areas are kind of random, there seems to be no reason to use any weapon but the rifles except for ammunition issues. The bosses have a seemingly interminable life level, the enemies are all pretty much the same and seem to follow virtually the same scripting.

It just feels kind of unpolished, although it's fun enough for a little while.

great artstyle and decent gameplay. my opinion is making the levels like LEVELS and not "fend off X for Y seconds" i dont think this game as how it is fits that gameplay. other than that, potential
