Reviews for "Metal Arena 3"
WHAT
Okay... this was a great game. I love it when I get to upgrade stuff that actually effects you're appearance and power quite a bit. HOWEVER... I saved up 75000 for the energy cannon thing on level 12 forever.... And then realized it was completely inferior to the plasma weaon.
Great game.... I don't know, just try to make the weapons better scaled to their cost <_<
Found a bug
when you kill the last enemy and die at the same time the game does weird stuff.
other than that I found the game enjoyable and the prices in the shop steep.
Anti-climactic
I enjoyed your game very much, but...
-It's very difficult to move in reverse. You should add an option for a fixed control scheme where A and D function the same, but W is acceleration and S is reverse. Otherwise the front cannons on the tanks are nearly useless.
-Needs difficulty levels. I barely ever had to replay a stage.
-Needs bosses at the end of each area. It was very anti-climactic every time.
-More waves, faster! Why have a combo meter if you aren't going to unleash hordes a la Mars Matrix or Bangai-O? This also makes the mines useful (since they aren't at all).
-Better graphics are always a good thing.
I look forward to 4!
Repetitive, but a tried-and-true Gameplay Mechanic
The Good+:
+Good choice in music
+Variety in weapons
+Movement was smooth
+Controls were fine
The Bad:
-Weapons cost obsessive amounts, a perfect level to grind is somewhere between 15-21, takes 1 minute, and gets 4k on average. I would still have to grind for 20-40 minutes for the best weapons.
-Difficulty curve is too high, one level, the mobs do like 10 damage shots, the next, then take out 30hp each hit.
-Lack of variety of music
-Graphics were, eh
-HIT BOX WAS NOT ABSOLUTE. This means you got hit when the bullet came NEXT to you, not when it should have HIT you. I realized this because I play quite a few bullet hell games, and it bothers me, a lot.
-No bosses/major enemies
-No ending, story, really anything plot wise
-No way to submit end score?
All in all, the game is playable, but it's repetitive and forces you to grind just a little bit in order to succeed easily. A full runthrough of the game will be on my channel shortly, at www.youtube.com/user/MrFuzzlepop
