[quote]Warning: Asset Flip!
Massive is an asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated someone else's example/template/tutorial game, changed the name/reskinned a couple of things, and submitted it to Valve as if it was their own game.[/quote]
Massive is some older Russian scamware and it's at least interesting to see how their methods changed. Where normally now they dump a game in Steam Direct and then pump the review score with fake/paid reviews, this is one of the earlier scams which took place while Steam Greenlight was in full swing. The developer used fake accounts to pump the game rating so it was approved by Greenlight.
Bizarre how Steam replaced Greenlight with a system that made it even easier for Russian scammers to dump asset flips like this onto Steam, resulting in a deluge of literally thousands of scam asset flips and clickers and other junkware on Steam every year.
But I digress, reviews must be about the game, even "fake" games like this.
Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard.
It's just a lazy 2D top down retro pixel twin stick shooter with a bunch of stolen sprites and backgrounds, all slapped onto a basic Unity twin stick shooter blueprint... a minimum viable product, not intended to be a real game. In fact reskins of the exact same game have been dumped onto Steam a couple of times by the same developer using different/fake Steam developer accounts (and it's possible this is the same person behind Daniel Li/FadyGames and those scamware titles). Check out "Gun Brothers" if unsure... it's the same game!
A choice was made to use obsolete, decades old retro pixel "art" as a substitute for contemporary PC graphics. It's unclear if this is due to lack of budget or talent, regardless, the overall visual quality of the game is extremely low as a result.
While there are options to change the resolution for the game, all this does is scale up the simplistic 2D art assets used to make the game, which makes little or no difference to the graphics quality. Without any other substantial graphics tweaks, it's not possible for gamers to improve the lacklustre 2D visuals.
The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts.
These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game.
You don't have to take my word about how bad the game is, we can measure the interest in a game by how much people bothered to play it. Massive has achievements, and they show us a very clear picture that the game absolutely failed to capture any interest from gamers. The most commonly and easily attained achievement is "Accidentally", for killing a player in co-op, trivial to achieve, but less than 3 percent of players bothered to get that far before uninstalling the game. That's a tiny, tiny proportion of gamers who even bothered with this. Ouch.
The poor quality of this game is also reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 7 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 110,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected.
This kind of asset flipping isn't harmless. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made games from ethical developers. It makes it harder for genuine indie developers, who put hard work into trying to make real games, to find an audience for their products. It gives indie developers a bad name.
So, should you buy this asset flip? Is this better than any of the 110,000+ genuinely made games on Steam? Of course not!
Massive is relatively cheap at $20 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, and the questionable ethical nature of the developer and/or their associates (as outlined above), this is impossible to recommend. Remember that if you buy a game from an unethical developer, you're putting your money at risk.
I do not recommend. This game had low expectations for me, and somehow still failed to meet them. You might find some enjoyment out of the game, but it's buggy, the combat isn't all that great, and the games usually didn't last very long. However, I'm sure there are people out there who would like the game more than me, and to be fair, the premise is fine.
Massive is one of those types of games made by scam artists to steal from you. It would've been fine if I didn't buy one of my friends this game. It advertises co-op but it's almost impossible to play with friends. Thank God my friend knew better when he heard that if you exceed 2 hours of playtime you unlock cheats. Not true.
It's often mentioned by quite a lot of people that this game uses the same sound FX from their previous games and also code from another game called 'Nuclear Throne'. Now I don't mind the whole copy-paste from thier work, but nothing is different. Neither is the gameplay anything worth buying this game for.
Previously, (14th Feb) I wrote a good review. I was surprised to see the game devs respond. (Their Steam profile is private by the way which was extra shady). Now, there's two ways this could have gone. Either they paid people to write good reviews for this game, or they search for positive reviews and comment on them.
Since the game devs saw this review before this change they have written this comment (This is just in case they delete their comment on this review which wouldn't surprise me):
"Thank you very much 'ayyy m9s :D',
we are working hard to make a good game and your words incentivize to make more and more."
Don't waste your money on this sh*t. Buy something better.
(Credit to Dr. Rockso M.D for reminding me of this game)
controls are extremely unresponsive, level design feels shoddy when you can break a wall down with a single shot. this game is a rip, you're much better off with Nuclear Throne. I want my money back.
Very first contact is VERY good. Does not look as a scam, as announced. EASY mode, unlimited lives, unlimited bullets ! Great art. And XBOX 360 controller works !!! Don't want to troll, but for me this is as fun as Nuclear Throne. I keep this game and will explore further.
Edit 23/09/2107
I made it through level 6-1 in easy mode (immortal).
My 2 cents:
First off, THANK YOU SO MUCH to consider the stupid players like me, highly UNskilled, with the immortal mode. So few games with VERY easy modes !!! Butcher has an easy mode DLC. But so many remain for the elite or the super top skilled gamers: Enter the Gungon, Nuclear Throne, even UltraGoodness is hard. After 8 hours of work, tired, I still can enjoy killing monsters. And practice ... to slowly improve ?! I returned Enter the Gungeon within minutes... Nuclear Throne is hard but practicable. Massive is very great for me. After playing Massive, I will miss the feature in NT.
MASSIVE is NOT a clone of NT, there are very good ideas, specific to this game.
My two cents about the +++ and the suggestions ???:
+ destructible environments are great; allow to take shortcuts and can be part of the strategy
+ shields in steel, excellent idea
+ configurable difficulty: thank you again
+ monsters are great, so as existing guns
+ frame rate is OK
+ pixel art is fine
+ the map (bottom right) is great
? "level of zoom" for me is a little too excessive: one can see well the character but not enough of the global scene. Other games have the opposite drawback (character is too tiny). So for now the scenery is pretty OK, but slightly "higher" would be better imho
? first levels are little too dark to be readable. Level 5 is very readable for example.
? no levels after 6-1 ?
? more guns please (the existing ones are great): laser, lasso, grenades, blast, invisibility shield, etc
? monsters with seeable movements are disturbing (for me); others are fine. The now standard idea of a big monster destroyed which leads to several tiny monsters ?
? destructible environments, along NON-destructible environments and steel shields (movable, excellent ! or NON-moveable) could be a FANTASTIC part of the strategy. For now, empty spaces imply fragility (hiding and unveiling is a great part of the pleasure in such games). I realize that this is absent from NT (as far as I know, but again I have little experience).
? in the map, sometimes ennemies are now shown
? intermediate state between "immortal" and "easy": stay immortal but indicate when character is supposed to be dead so that I can improve while continuing to play (well ... there's a counter no?)
As a very superficial conclusion I would say that this game is great to practice and to avoid despair found in Nuclear Throne. Probably an intermediate space in between NT and Massive is to be taken. I doubt Vlambeer will accept to consider very casual gamers like me, so my last hope is that you developers of Massive can try to leverage the differences (e.g. destructible environments with non-destructible and/or moveable parts; funny guns; considerations for beginners; randomized maps)
Thank you again and keep going ! Please pursue your efforts !
Best regards

parametric difficulty
hello. the discussion about (the number of) traps makes me think about "parametrization" of the game. since levels are procedurally generated why not give the hand to the player ? my own blocker is difficulty setting and i am so poorly skilled that i need a very easy mode. yet the choices in difficulty are brutal, in that no subtleties can be brought.
if the user can choose in settings the number of traps (or a range thereof), the level of power of guns, if environment is destructible or not, to what extent (cursors), etc it could be a huge differenciator versus other similar games. possible variables: number and power of ennemies, number and power of guns, surface of map, complxity of level, number of traps, speed, ...
do not know at which point it is feasable to "open" access to such variables in the code base. but the promise could be that the mix of the game could be personalized to player's taste.
yes some combinations may not work but it is an appeal to play with game some more ;o)
the more i think of it... it a sign of respect to the user to offer configurable gameplay, let alone of considering difficulty
Laggy, map would dissapear and then would not continue the game when we beat levels
TL;DR They are stealing your money. Literally.
This is the lowest of the low type of scammer. They are selling the same game twice. See Gun Brothers. Almost everything is the exact same. This is a prime example of a company taking advantage of steams early access. The only reason I bought this game is because I love Nuclear Throne AND because I found out that it was on sale with the ost for $1 instead of the $9.99. I already regret it though seeing as how I can't even pick up 80% of the items on the ground because its absolutely broken.
EDIT: The scam goes even deeper! They have a new game on Greenlight - please vote against it being greenlit, they just reskin the same game and sell it as new:
http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=885680708
Massive is a scam. Besides being a horrible knock off of Nuclear Throne, it's the same exact game as Gun Brothers... check it out for yourself and you tell me otherwise.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/514410/
Hell even the sale page is identical right down to the layout of the graphics, and that pruple skull enemy thing... it's just slightly altered on one. xD
They're developping 1 game under 2 different titles and publisher/developer names. One game is also slightly reskinned... It saddens me to see people getting ripped off. Selling the same reskinned game while it is still in development - twice, is seriously an insult! Maybe even fraudulent.
Massive
Developer: Massive Game
Publisher: Massive Game
Gun Brothers
Developer: GameDevCom
Publisher: GameDevCom
Does that not sound deceitful?
Also note that as of this review update, both Massive and Gun Brothers are still currently in early access and if Steam is going to continue to sell both, I would only hope that the differences in both final products (as well as needed fixes) justify a $9.99 x2 price point (though by the looks of it, I highly doubt it).
NOTE: A great part of this review is copy/paste from HERE, I only somewhat changed it to match my views.
Even getting it dirt cheap I can't reccomend it. The game is a buggy pale imitation of Nuclear Throne, just spend the extra money and get that instead.
2d shooter game with a retro touch in it. Tries to be a rogue lite game but fails to be one. Some enemies look like they are your allies and most of them do the same.
Controls are meh. The only thing i like about this game is the destructible walls that gives some strategy to the game.
Online is broken. When you die and re-enter all the mobs appear alive even though they are dead.
It's just a mess
great
online mode completely broken, dont bother
edit: read comments for dev defense of game and lulz
Yeah! I recommend the game...
The Multiplayer is very very cool and easy to start
Monsters a Lot
Funny Guns
Destructive Scenaries
Hard Bosses
Beauty Art and Sound
Joystick and Keyboard/Mouse
Chat
Mods to unlock
My tip is to play online, with friends or not.
So funny game!!!
I bouth the game for play with my friend and we fought against the monsters and the bosses.
The multiplayer works well and the art is amazing! Beautyful Pixel Art
When more players enter on match, it goes crazy and more fun.
Recomended for everyone
Great Game to play with friends... its full of great gameplay!
Game: meh
Multiplayer: 2/10
works fine but it litterally kicks you from the lobby when you die and you have to re-join
Music: WTF IT'S SO LOUD AND THERE ARE NO VOLUME CONTROLS
bach
The game says it includes english subtitles but there is absolutely no dialogue whatsoever
Overall: 2
Multiplayer = 2/10
I'm really glad I ended up getting this game! 'Massive' is a blast to play! (No pun intended...lol) Good, quick action that keeps you on your toes...and it's fun! Good for short-term and long-term play too...whichever sets the mood. Definitely recommend, and there's frequent updates and GREAT developer who is awesome at communicating, as well as being very attentive to player comments. PLUS, there's a group for the game, where you really get great insight into what the developer is aiming for (no pun intended...lol) in updates and player needs. Totally can't miss (Again, no pun intended...lol) with 'Massive' on every level!!
This is game is awful. I feel like this was made in a weekend. No quality at all . Doesn't recognize my Xbox controller even though the options lists a controller and shows all of the button mappings for it. When you pause the game none of in game menu options work except "Continue". If you click "Quit" it just closes the menu and unpauses the game??? The UI is confusing. The quality of this game is Pre-Alpha at best, I will be seeking a refund.
Im really happy with how this game turned out and yes its New therefore will need some work on it but with some advice from the community and some nice Update this game could become something HUGE and so give it time and i promise this game will improve. But the game is well made and im proud to support the Devs on Massive and i hope you are too!
