This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awesome I absolutely love the crafting system, you can craft an absolute devilish abomination of a gun that uses half of your energy and perishes nearly anything in your path.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The humour reminds me a lot of the Portal games and the voice acting/story is fun and engaging.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you love FPS bullet hell, gun building is appealing, want co-op, and are good with procedurally generated levels, then this is a must buy game on sale.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
23 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are very colorful but not too much as to be visually distracting.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
17 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design amplifies the chaos—gunfire, explosions, and enemy alarms mix into a symphony of mechanical warfare, while the soundtrack pulses with heavy electronic beats that push the tempo forward.
