15 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
You start out with 2 decent mercs and there are 3 more free mercs on rotation every week so you can try them out and always have a roster that covers every angle.

12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics have a quite distinct visual style with plenty of yellow.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There is definitely good learning curve and you can feel the strong difference once you truly master each hero (stylized as "mercs" in game).
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
8 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Really fast-paced and fun gameplay with a lot of good features, even more when playing with a few friends, and most games were really close, sometimes struggling until the very last seconds to finally complete the objective.
