Play this for some mindless entertaining destruction!
The gameplay of this game is quite repetitive but it is always enjoyable.. Your basically blasting everything that moves and has more then 2 legs throughout each of the fairly brief 15 stages of the game.. The standard foot soldiers of the aliens are giant ants and spiders which aren't too difficult to take down but they usually come in vast numbers.. There are ticks and giant ticks that launch regular ticks and take a lot of punishment to take down.. Theres gigantic robots, flying spacecraft, huge carriers and more to take down.. You can select from four different types of characters from the soldier-basic-,technician-deploys turrets, Heavy-heavy armor and weapons, and the Jetpack soldier-fast and maneuverable with good assortment of weapons.. I used the jetpack soldier throughout my playthrough to level up that particular unit.. As you level up you unlock different tiers of weapons, the later ones are vastly more powerful then the originals so it is fun to replay the game to continue leveling up.. You can also enter tanks, mechs and turrets throughout the game to even the odds.. The absolute worst thing about this game is that nobody is online to play multiplayer!!. Its quite unfortunate since this game seems like it would be even more fun on multiplayer in the survival and campaign modes.. Even so I had a lot of fun with my brief 5 hour double playthroughs of the Campaign, and the Campaign Remix which switches up the enemies you face..
The graphics in the game are nothing special but they did need to tone the quality down a bit for the huge swarms of enemies and explosions that take place during the game.. They look good and do a more then passable job of presenting the game.. The sound effects and music are fantastic with gunfire and explosions going off around the battlefield.. There's not much of a story to the game and really no cutscenes.. I do think adding that would of made the game a bit better but its still a blast to play.. Overall if you can rent or find this game cheap give it a try..
