Reviews for "Earth Taken"

what i can say? the game is pretty good and Really would like to see you continue this story its pretty good to keep the player going trough the game

Graphics, i like them and sets pretty well the apocalyptic ambient, saucers in backgrounds, burning buildings, everything red and without life. pretty good in mi opinion

Controls: i cant complain they are pretty good and responsive, and the best of all the game dont lags a lot even if you have lot of stuff there, i though would be kinda hard since i though this game would be like WASD + Mouse but not, the game is pretty good and playable with the actual controls i hope you keep it like in the next game.

Gameplay: while is just like nay other shoot n run, this one is pretty entertaining telling you about the story everytime you get to the next level (but wouldnt be so bad like when you meet a survivor said something in a bubble speech) what i would like to see is that interacting with the survivors in shelters telling about something the alien invasion or they life who know. aliens can be pretty easy if you kill them away from you. being near of them mean to take extra damage, weapon upgrades well the most useful ones are the shotgun and the flame trower so i only upgraded these two and never have the need to upgrade my health or my filters.

i dont have troubles with the movements its pretty good, same with the jumping is really nice here. not making you feel like you are a bag of stones trying to fly, and i like that you didnt add a fall damage or a death by fall, i know there many games to keep it "realistic" but in a run and shoot is pretty i always like that if i need to get down quickly or advance quickly i usually drop off and being killed by fall is something i dont like.

AI of your allies is pretty good not a dumb allie that try to kill an enemie being near of them and hitting them with melee like the other shoot and run, also they dont advance if you dont, oh good and thanks so much that saving allies is just optional and if they get killed or you forget them, you can still keep playing and saving them is just only for achievement purposes. in other words: Thanks to not make it frustrating when it comes in allies terms

Overall you have a pretty good game here, and i honestly expect you continue this story is true that there many shoot & games and probably they dont improve or add something new, but yours is a good and interesting one and i think that is enough reason to give us a second part.

Wow, thanks for all the feedback! Much appreciated :) So glad you liked the game and thanks for the 5 stars!

Just a little glitch, i teleported from the 2nd or 3rd screen to the elevator at the safe house on the first level

SeethingSwarm responds:

I've heard about this glitch once before. I've tried it myself many times, but it never happens to me. I have no idea why this could happen and how. It's a complete mystery to me, sorry :/ Anyway, thanks for the 5 stars!

Wow. This is great! Awesome graphics, music, story. Using a gamepad really makes this a solid game. It would be cool if it was on PSN or XboxArcade. What I would like to see in the future would be more variety of enemies and also maybe have dialog between survivors when you're at base. This could help build story and produce side stories. Fantastic game!

SeethingSwarm responds:

Thank you! It's great to hear that people are using gamepads to play this game and that it actually works nicely. Glad you enjoyed the game and thanks for the feedback and the 5 stars :)
I'll keep your suggestions in mind for the sequel!

i love the game but i not get the achivments but i did the achivments complted and i don't get any single one
why?

SeethingSwarm responds:

Ah that sucks! I have no idea why, sorry. Not sure if it's because this game is quite old now and might not be comunicating correctly with modern newgrounds stuff. This has happened a few times in the past when the achievements were working perfectly for pretty much everyone, so there might be another reason. I apologize.

this game should get a Steam adaptation.
