Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
43 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
An interesting mechanic I normally don't see fleshed out as much as I did in GROSS, was alternative ammo types.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
30 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
The story is told mostly through text walls, but that's okay, because the story is very well told and dramatic, it works, although it isn't the main point of the game.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
26 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
The gunplay is fun, the towers and enemy pathing make for interesting combinations, the difficulty can be scaled up or down and even on normal keeps you on your toes.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
12 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are solid enough, I especially love that they actually have color and don't wash things out.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
There are a lot of music tracks in the game; the dev did an excellent job curating the soundtrack.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
5 of 166 sampled reviews raised it
Unlike similar games, it doesn't support co-op mode, but it runs smoothly overall.
