I quite like it.
Feels a bit awkward control-wise, but that’s what you get with these kinds of games I suppose. Compared to alien breed, I think they dumbed down the controls well, making it much easier to move your character around. I would still prefer a map that spun around so you’re always looking “up”, but who knows whether that would work or not. I could only play alien breed when I stopped paying attention to the facing of my character, because otherwise felt way too awkward.
Much more tactical than I was expecting, which was a pleasant surprise. Ammo management, friendly fire, gun turrets etc. very cool. You even lose ammo if you reload your clip too early, that’s almost rogue spear-like!
Only 1 level for solo play which is a shame, though the buddy AI is absolutely horrendous. Trying to get everyone inside a room so you can reinforce the door can be a pain, and having your buddies move far away to engage when you’ve clearly given them a “come here” order is really frustrating. Looking forward to some MP action when my mate is free; look out for playing with randoms, apparently there’s plenty of griefers shooting their team mates for the lulz.
Definitely looking forward to playing some more.
