The game seems like a lazy port/remake of a mobile/Flash game or a very old game.

Pros:

• Arcade mode and Steam leaderboards (single-player or 2 player local co-op)
  
  
• Difficulty selection for campaign mode (Normal, Hard)
  
  
• You can select the campaign level you want to play
  
  
• You can upgrade armor (HP), HP regeneration, speed, damage, rate of fire, multishot, cash magnet and cash bonus.
  
  
• Its retro music is kinda catchy but lacks variety
  
  
• Supports playing with a keyboard or a gamepad
  
  
• Reasonable price
  

Cons:

• Sound effect glitches when you play it a for longer than about 30 minutes. Have to restart the game when that happens.
  
  
• The Campaign level status bar (showing player's Armor, Fire Mode, Progress and Cash) is too close to the center of the screen and prevents you from seeing more important stuff such as incoming enemies and / or their projectiles.
  
  
• Very low resolution and no settings for it
  
  
• Low graphics quality
  
  
• No alternate playable robot type
  
  
• No alternate weapon type and no shields
  
  
• Upgrades are very grindy since prices increase exponentially - especially in Hard mode. You have to repeat previously completed levels to be able to pay for the exorbitant upgrade prices.
  
  
• Very very hard to survive the last few levels (especially Level 15) of the campaign in Hard mode. You either have to be a master of evasion (even that might not cut it) or a very lucky gamer.
  
  
• Some of the achievements are unreasonable and almost impossible to get - such as getting perfect victories in 9 different Hard levels (not getting hit or crash into enemies even once in a bullet hell scenario where even the destroyed enemies release fire in every direction).
  
  
• You can retry a level you failed to complete right away. However, you can't retry a level that you just completed but failed to perform a "feat" to get the achievement. You have to go back to the main menu, choose Level Select and then select the level. Is it so hard to add a button to retry a completed level?

This is a fun game, I love these type of games where there is a very minimal learning curve.

Worthy addition to any Twin Stick lovers collection.

Just really boring and devoid of content; a bare-bones twin-stick style shooter with nothing to offer.

Classic Arena Twin Stick Shooter. One or two evenings.

6/10

No

boring and repetitive

A pretty simple though enjoyable twin-stick shooter.

This game is well concieved and well executed. Yeah,there are prolly lotsa games like it. There is something about this game that playing it makes you better at it, and you keep playing and getting better. I HAVE NOT BEAT the BOSS on level 18 yet. But I wanted to write a good review of this game. Great use of tiny money. Buy it and try it. This one's a good keeper.

This game is stupid fun. I start playing it and don't where the time goes.

A simple but fun twin-stick bullet hell shooter. Short but easily worth the price paid.

Little, dorky, cheap, and good. I like it well enough. It's easy to pick up and put down.

I bought this game long after I played the flash version. Seeing they 'improved' the game, I felt like giving it another go and why not add another perfect game to my list? Overal Score: 5/10

The additional difficulty didn't feel balanced at all. The gimmick is that every dying enemy releases a sphere of projectiles on Hard and that certain enemies are even more cheap with their projectiles, be it adding a slight homing to them or additional bullets per volley. After Stage 4, all my attempts at perfect runs felt closer to luck than skill. I got a perfect score because the enemy didn't instantly spawn behind me and unleash their kamehameha while I attempted to dodge the exploding corpses. Stuff like that. Took about 5 hours of retrying stages to get 9 perfect victories.

The flash version isn't that much different than the version on here and it's not worth buying for the update. Maybe for the local co-op survival mode, but again, it doesn't do anything special. It isn't a bad game by any means if you stop at Normal difficulty and Normal is what you get with the Flash version. I'm downvoting the enhanced version because of the many flaws that should have been fixed to justify a release like this. There isn't even a restart level option as a small example of some touch ups that the game should have been given.

Loved this hidden gem on the 360. And I love it here. Definitely worth the price of admission if you're a sucker for Robotron-inspired games like I am.

The arcade mode is just that. You take on wave after wave of enemies until you die. Check the video, and you get the idea.

In the "campaign" mode (there is 0 story), you get to upgrade your robot with credits you pick up from killing enemies. This is fun, but goes by very quickly. If you die, you get to keep the credits you earned for the run making it just a matter of time before you'll be fully maxed out. I would have preferred only keeping the credits that you earned upon completing the level, but I also realize that it probably would have been a huge pain to try and balance properly.

Also, the alternating firing in campaign mode makes for some interesting strategic positioning being required during gameplay.

The most important thing to point out here: This is through-and-through an actual twin-stick shooter. That is, you most definitely want to use a game controller for the "twin sticks". Using a mouse for this particular game just isn't quite right. It would be like playing Quake with a game pad, Street Fighter with keyboard, or driving with your feet.

If you like Robotron 2084, this is your kind of game!

I've played it for a couple of hours now, and finished the Normal level Campaign. There is also a Hard level Campaign, which I can tell is going to be a lot tougher, just based on the first few levels. The game has an upgrade system, where you can buy upgrades with money(?) dropped by the robots you are destroying, so you are always progressing. It's going to take a while to unlock all the achievements here, and I think that's the point of a game like this, besides just beating all the campaign stages. Some people just don't get what arcade style games are about, and maybe some of those people won't like this. But if you play arcade games, you know what you're getting here, heheh

There's also an Arcade Mode, which I have only played a bit so far but it has 2 Player Local Co-Op! If you haven't tried Local Co-Op gaming, you really should, it's always a blast.

Oh, and did I mention the asking price on this game is about the same as a bottle of Coke?! This should be at least $5 for the amount of content here.

Just bought this game, it did its job to waste about 10-15min. Pretty much the only reason I grabbed it was because had some left-over wallet cash.. Pretty simple top-down wave shooter, nothing more than that though super bare-bones game, would not recommend paying for this game definetly not worth the money.

Fun arena shooter and very cheap aswell.

Great little game for the price.

Beautiful art and animations, nice retro feel.

Campaign pacing feels a bit slow, and the upgrade system is a bit simplistic, but I can't really complain.

Definitely worth buying.

Man, I absolutely love this game. Now fuck me silly in the arse. (I'm sorry I can never put up a serious review)
