Reviews for "Metal Arena 3"

Pretty good until you get towards the end

First 3 worlds: Fun, exciting, combo thing is great. Good times, if a tad easy.

Last world: Disastrous. The map is gigantic, meaning you can't get a combo, and enemies are too far away to be any danger. Most enemies pose almost no threat at all, but just take forever to kill. Great design there. The last weapon, the energy thing, blows dick: upgraded or not, and it doesn't just cost a ton to buy, it costs a ton to upgrade too. The very last enemy moves at a snail's pace (literally), shoots once every 15 seconds, and the shots move only slightly faster than he does. Of course he takes forever to kill (yay), but luckily you can run him over to take a whopping 40 dmg. Yay! I feel accomplished!

Overall progression of gameplay: start, fun, fun, fun, FUCKING FAIL OMFG THIS IS FUCKING PATHETIC, done.

Umm suck

i went to the workshop and it wouldn't let me leave, nice idea and good game up to that point.

First two worlds are fun...

This game had a lot of potential. If the upgrades didn't cost so much at the end or if later enemies were actually worth a decent amount of money, then I might have given this a seven.

The last weapon needs to be WAY more powerful or the upgrades need to be cheaper. It sucks worse than the first weapon otherwise. I don't want to farm for an hour just to get one of the upgrades for it
The enemies are incredibly easy. Circle them, shoot, repeat.

After the first five minutes of playing it became bland. The last world really sucked because of how large it was and how slowly you had enemies come at you.

All in all, terrible game. Better luck on another one.

Much to improve

Graphics : Not bad in itself, it could be a lot better.
Sound : The menu music is a bit annoying after some time, otherwise works for me.
Gameplay:
- The last arenas are too big to make a decent combo with so few ennemies. You could add some waves of weenies to make the bigger ones worth fighting.
- The weapons are not balanced. The missile one, even fully upgraded, is not really better than the big gun and the last gun is too crappy without the uprades to pay 75000 for it. Give it more punch or lower its price. Though the prices on the hulls seem alright.
-As said by many, the game is really too easy. The last stages, as i said earlier, should be flooding with bad guys.

The principle in itself is not bad at all, but nothing new and needs a rebalancing.

It had potential

Like the others have stated before this review.
1. Too slow
2. Upgrades too expensive
3. Nothing New was brought to the table
4. Predictable AI
5. Average Art
6. No bosses
7. More upgrades
8. Needs power-ups(Speed boost, Double Strength, Double Money, etc...)

Other than that it was OK. And the simple fact that its the 3rd version I'd expect way more out of this.
