“I originally recommended this game, but Ive had to change my mind, At first the game is enjoyable, the challenge is certainly there but the game is lacking in depth. 1) Massive jumps in difficulty between Easy/Normal etc. Enemes on Easy…”
“This is probably the first review I've written. Even years after it's release, the game is basically unfinished and unupdated. As good as it looks up front, it's wonky, ugly, and unbalanded.”
