Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
22 of 180 sampled reviews raised it
But beneath that simple exterior is a surprisingly strategic backbone built on resource management, weapon customization, and a satisfying rhythm of earning money through destruction and reinvesting it into better gear.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
20 of 180 sampled reviews raised it
It has a great progressive difficulty and unlocking weapons and equipment over time give it an RPG-ish feel.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 180 sampled reviews raised it
Some weapons can hit all three, some only air targets, some only ground targets, and others can hit air and ground targets but bypass inanimate structures like buildings.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 180 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are pretty detailed for the time, similar to an Amiga or Atari ST game, especially the scrolling terrain.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
13 of 180 sampled reviews raised it
Sound effects are crunchy and satisfying, and the cheerful MIDI music is simple but effective.
