Early Access Review
General impressions of this game is that it's some light casual fun. It gets fairly chaotic every now and then, but you'd expect that with a game this silly.

I played the original when I was in middle school, and when I saw they were making a sequel I was pretty hyped. The game is still in early access, but I think it's enjoyable in its current iteration. That's not to say there are things that could be improved.

For those who are weary of Early Access, like I am sometimes, this game has one of those communities where the devs will look at feedback, especially of that given on the discord. It's small team working, so it may feel like they take a while to get it done, but they'll get it done.

Things that I love about it is that it has the same chaoticness and thrills that I got from the first one. It'll have those "OH MAN, I JUST BARELY GOT YOU." or the, "WHAT?! HOW DID THAT WORK?" moments for sure. And it's a game that has low skill entry point. Move and click in the direction you want to shoot, much easier than regular FPS/TPS games. Even just loading up this game to shoot bots in the face has enjoyability.

For those who played Ijji's GUNSTER, you might think that this is a less grindy version of the game, and you'd be right. There's no progression, which some people may like, others may not. I personally would like it if there were at the very least cosmetic unlockables that you'd get as you play the game. They could do a dropbox system much like dota, without requiring keys. Gun balance might need a little work. I've only felt like a few of the weapons were underwhelming. One thing that's a bit clunky as of writing this review is that there's no way to just create a lobby and have friends join off of you. You'd need to download the server files (which are readily available on their website,) and host it off of a linux server. Not the worst thing in the world, but boy is that not streamlined. Playerbase isn't that high at the moment, but I'm confident it'll boost back up once this game leaves early access. For now, I'm fine with just playing with my small group of friends and the randos who pop in.

Overall, my recommendation is a yes. Especially if:
  • You like a more casual game
  • You don't want to commit too much time to 'git gud'
  • Don't mind an incomplete game

Definitely hold off on this if you don't match with even one of the things listed above.
