Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
55 of 203 sampled reviews raised it
It is a game that clearly understands the appeal of old-school high-score chasing, focusing on tight, repeatable gameplay loops rather than complex systems or narrative depth.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 203 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, Glorkian Warrior stands out through its collaboration with cartoonist James Kochalka, whose distinctive art style defines the entire experience.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
15 of 203 sampled reviews raised it
I honestly wasn't into the "Trying too hard to be funny" type of comedy I expected from the save devs as Potatoman and Dino Run, but upon play I becamed charmed by its handrawn appearance, silly cutscenes between game sessions, and cute sound effects including children announcing your weapon pickups - thankfully, it wasn't obnoxious at all.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
8 of 203 sampled reviews raised it
There is a decent variety of weapons, some standard (such as a triple laser) and some goofy (such as tennis balls) but only half of them really stand out as especially useful - though anything is better than the default pea-shooter.
Controls
Players who bring up Controls mostly praise it.
6 of 203 sampled reviews raised it
This is a mobile port, but PC version plays much better with gamepad/keyboard and 60 FPS added via patch.
