Annually, from across dozens of galactic sectors, men, girblons, women, and children tune in to their local space TV stations for the most anticipated event of the year: “ChargeShot”. Bounty hunters from across the known universe compete annually for eternal glory and a coveted $2,000,001 space-credit reward.
In ChargeShot, each player is armed with a Pulsar Cannon, capable of powerful blasts that bounce off walls and instantly destroy any life forms they touch; an Energy Shield, which can reflect Pulsar blasts and knock opponents into dangerous hazards; and a standard-issue jetpack for traversing the battlefield with deadly speed and grace.

This game is just good fun. I don't have any problems with it, really; I love ChargeShot's pixel art, the character designs and pun-filled dialogue adds a fair bit of charm, and the overall gameplay feels pretty responsive. The campaign is a tad difficult (that or it's a skill issue on my part), but I can excuse it. At the end of the day, it's a good time killer.
overly simplistic gameplay which makes the game pointless and boring to play.
samurai gunn does it better. its simple yet better gameplay.
or go for towerfall for simple gameplay with TONS of growth.
or duck game.
or boomerang fu.
And if you will look at all the positive reviews praising the game then you will see that they all have about 1 hour max played.. which is a bit of a joke. You know.. if the game is great then why no one plays it?
I love local couch games, but this game has its worth equivalent to the steam cards that it gives.
Fun Cute Party Game
But Requires Three Other Friends
Met The Devs, Nice Guys

The Short of it: Ridiculous arcade jetpack arena shooter with fun pixel art. There is a squid-alien character who's people "resolve all conflicts with love-making." Video games could cure the world's problems...
ChargeShot is a wonderful little time waster, albeit a bit monotonous. The graphics are charming, the environments sufficiently entertaining, and the music is very well done. I would have preferred if the characters possessed unique skills, but I understand that the skins are purely cosmetic and lend a very abstract, pong sort of feel to the game. If you enjoy mindless, reflex based local multiplayer, you could do a whole lot worse than picking up ChargeShot on sale.
This game ended up being way more fun than I originally expected. It's not that I wasn't expecting it to be good; but I opened the game thinking I'd just try it out real quick for a few minutes and ended up unlocking all of the characters in a single sitting.
The level design is amazing. They strike a really good balance of being ingeniously treacherous without being rage inducingly unforgiving. And there's a lot of them too. Definitely keeps things interesting.
The mechanics are simple enough pick up quickly, while still leaving an additional learning curve with the deflection and richocet mechanics to keep the game challenging. I played on a controller. Not sure if keyboard and mouse are any fun or not.
The music is really good. I like the variety of level designs and the setting of a futuristic death tournament. There's also a few funny jokes scattered around from time to time. Although the dialogue doesn't really change from character to character. Stays relatively consistent with "Are you ready?" "I'm not going to lose." ect ect.
The game was obviously intended for multiplayer. I'm sure it's WAY different than 1st player, but I haven't had the chance to. Very eager to challenge some of my friends in this. I can see how the certain levels would be CRAZY against human players. The AI is kind of all over the place. Sometimes they'll deflect a bullet a million times. Other times they don't put up any fight at all. Manages to keep the difficulty in a clumsy kind of homeostasis though. Certain levels are super easy to con the AI into suiciding though. (In the magma level, they fly at you as soon as they spawn. Even though they're invincible, if you fire at them, they'll deflect and dip just enough to plunge into the lava over and over until the level drops back down. In the ice level you can just stand still and 90% of the time they'll just zoom into some ice spikes.)
I bought the game on sale, if you don't have people coming over regularly to play against you on multiple steam controllers, you might want to grab it on sale? But if you have friends with it's definitely worth the $10. Really a super fun game.
Very challenging competetitive game.
A quirky PvP deathmatch game. It's simple, but not super fun compared to other games I have played before. It just passes in terms of playability, but likely won't be the game I choose to play with friends during parties.
Mehhh
This game is really cool, once you buy it, it seems like it's no whort enought, but after you play multiplayer with your friends, ir becomes really better, and it motivates you to unlock all the levels and characters. if you have no one to play this game, dont buy it, but if you can play it with your friends, dont think it twice.
in simple words, it´s like an: Super Smash bro derp, but funcional. it decerves an online multiplayer. really really fun.
This game is phoenominal for singleplayer and multiplayer. The combat is fun and simple, while the controls are easy to learn. The simplicity of it coupled with the replayability is astounding. You should deffinatly pick this up, especially while it is on sale for $.99.
Urgh, I nearlly clicked "recommend", but only because, like me, it might be worth adding another 4p local multiplayer game to your library if you're collecting them. But only for something a little different, not because it's particularly good.
In the end I decided it's wierd to have a "recommend" and then actually rip it apart in the description. So I changed it to a "don't recommend" to catch the eye of the devs in hopes they might take on the feedback.
It's main problem is it's just not obvious how to play. You all kind of randomly kill each other over and over and over again, in a chaotic mess ove over-sized bullets that bounce off the wall and are moving too fast to react to. Half of your deaths are by shooting yourself. Yes you can eventually get better at it but the fact that everyone's initial game is just random deaths where you can barely make out what's happening amongst the chaos, is a testimant to how unintuitive the whole thing feels.
By comparison, I use TowerFall in game tournaments at the college I teach at, and people who've never played before quickly become used to it and really get into it, even people who don't normally play games. It's quite obvious what you're doing - you can jump on heads, aim and shoot, and re-collect your limited arrows. You can clearly see the cause and effect - everything is a good size, and a good SPEED, and not cluttered at all (in spite of having 4 players on one screen) and everything important (aiming, kills, etc.) is broadcast very very clearly.
AND YET it is still very competative, and you can get very skilled at it, and it can be classified as "twitched based gameplay" (just as Charge Shot does). I have seen some shit from Towerfall, man. You can get so good at it.
With Charge Shot, we played it for a good 10 minutes and I still don't feel like I "get" it. I get that you kinda don't want to be horizontal with anyone, and if you do pass in front, press the shield button and you'll more than likely bounce the shot they fire at you and kill them. But everything still feels 50-50. Wins don't really feel like wins, just "oh that turned out in my favour randomly, cool, I guess."
It does come down to the controls a lot;
The jet pack thing feels fairly frustrating, the delay before it sends you upward doesn't seem like you can use it to get out of the way quickly, and when it does pick up speed, it's so fast you can't really use it effectively and mostly go all the way to the top. So you kind of just float around, kinda trying not to pass in front of anyone.
The bullets are very big, very fast, and bounce off the wall, so once someone fires in your direction, you're not going to dodge it - in fact you're likely to kill yourself from your own shot due to the bounce. That's really unintuitive, to fire a weapon which has such a high chance of killing its owner.
On top of that, each shot has a huge amount of kickback, which added to everything else, is the icing on the cake in really taking control away from you and feel like you're trying to remote control a toy car on a bed of marbles by pushing it around with a stick. That's an analogy I just came up with to express the lack of control we felt we had over the characters.
Look, I'm sure the developers really love this game and are "good" at it and have fun with it, otherwise they wouldn't have put so much polish on it. I just don't feel like it was tested on other people very much. I don't think it's a good idea to make a game that only you can play, it needs to be acessable as well as being competative and skill based.
paint everything red
Cool couch duel game. Simple, good controls, lovely style. The arenas affect every match and provide variety.
Devs: A Linux/Mac port would be great!
9/10
Fast paced local multiplayer fun for you and your friends!
TLDR VERSION: ChargeShot is an Action-Packed local multiplayer brawl-fest that stands toe-to-toe with the other juggernauts of the genre. If you're asking youself, should I buy this, just ask yourself this: "Do I want a game thatt I can show to any of my frieds and have a good time with, no matter how good they are at videogames, Do I want a game that is both mechanicly deep and fun and simple? If the answer is yes then ChargeShot is just the game for you.
Pros: Great art if you dig pixel art with a grunge 90's 'zine feel to them, Simple intuitive controls, fast & fun gameplay, Gameplay is deep and strategic, lots of interesting arenas that change up the mechainics, full controller support, supports up to 4 players.
Cons: The games single-player content isn't much to shake stick at, No online multiplayer(The real fun of this game comes from playing with friends locally, if thats not something you can do you might not get the full experience of this game), PC only
Don't buy it so I have less people to compete with in the leaderboard i want to be in the game
Been playing with my son having a ton of fun!
It's as addicting and fast paced as Nidhogg (Which I was pleased to learn you can play that character in this.).
The recoil from my blast sent me to the other side of the map where said blast then killed me. 10/10
