Perhaps the best thing about this game is that it is only 2 dollars and it gives you an amazing amount of gameplay for the price of just 2 candybars.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If anyone has made it this far and has an interest in the genre, but might feel intimidated by the often high level of difficulty and skill required - this is absolutely your excellent starting point and the price couldn't be easier to swallow to see if these kind of games can be for you.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
67 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Also I'm the type that frequently turns off the game music and just has sound effects so I can play my own music while gaming but I actually love the soundtrack for this game, a lot.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
59 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The waves of the enemies are interesting, perfectly mastered, the graphics are good quality a 3 D quality a nice general atmosphere.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game is tons of fun, I'm digging the perks upgrade menu where you can choose how to boost your ship, and the fact that all weapons get more powerful as you gather new ones so you can pick what you like without it being totally obsolete to the newer ship equipment.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
+No actual online Co-Op, only Local (EDIT : Since this review has been posted, it has been changed to local co-op, which makes me smile, ty devs :D)
