i just think the game isn't all that great.

it handles fine. it looks fine. but after 3 hours barely anything happened. i looked it up and this is a 20-25 hour long "metroidvania". that's too damn long. there's some interesting systems, but nothing that kept me drawn in.

i put the game down after 3 hours of an OK time, then tried to pick it up the next play session, and it just made me realize that honestly, there's better games to spend your time on.

if you REALLY like the genre then like, sure, go ahead, i'd recommend it on sale, but there's better games that try to keep you hooked in out there and i would recommend that you spend your time on those instead of this one.

i might revisit it eventually, but i'm doubtful.

i did not care much for the story personally, however the gameplay itself is tight and lends itself to good scoring and replay ability options. works well with a controller. would strongly recommend, especially at that price point

it's alright. no saves between stages is reminiscent of older shmups, so that's not a huge problem, in my books.

controller was also fine for me - no support, but plug and play with a generic controller recognized as xbox (8bitdo) worked like a charm.

recommend a turbo function for this. there's probably better games, but on sale at a couple of dollars... there's worse pickups.

it's a pretty decent game, even if on the shorter side (rivaling old shumps).

had a lot of trouble getting a controller to work - had to launch the game THEN plug in a controller for it to be detected. also strongly recommend a controller with some sort of turbo function.

i have never played the original and while i have heard that there's issues with this remake, i had fun overall. would maybe recommend on sale rather than full price for a lot of people, though

very good game. solid arcade game play. highly unrealistic because you can get new new york as a defense and new york would crumble before aliens get here and leave nothing to rebuild on. strong recommend.

however the game is hard. very hard. i get mad every time i play it. purchase at your own discretion.

i love mighty thats my boy god bless the team for bringing him back also the dlc is fine i guess

did you like astlibra? did you think the game is for sickos? do you crave more of its battle system? then by all means this is for you.

this is absolutely a kusoge that is only good for its story. really wish they went ahead and did this more justice with a VN, but if you are willing to put up with hours of the most mindless combat (put the difficulty to easy for your own sanity) then you have something that might interest you here

the metroidvania association is weird with this game. it is not one of those games. it's a puzzle platformer. great for the genre. not my cup of tea. play at your discretion but do not expect to become an unkillable god with 50 upgrades by the time you beat the game.

the GoG version regularly goes on sale for a couple dollars so that is the version most people will prefer. however, if you do not want to bother with modding for HD and for the fan-made expansion, this is a perfectly fine version to play, despite what the naysayers would tell you. it's still heroes 3. i played a ton of it. i didn't even *realize there were expansions for it until very recently*. your mileage may vary.

would recommend buying on sale though as you are still supporting ubisucks
