Alien Rage

The game is pretty, the weapon work and sound great. The controls work well . The only negative and for me a huge one which keeps me from recommending this game is the stupid far too sparse checkpoint only save system. Having multiple battles between checkpoints is super annoying and an exercise in frustration. You fight way too many enemies between checkpoints to have to keep going back to the last checkpoint every time you die and die you will with this game even on the easiest difficulty. If developers are going to micromanage the player and dictate to the player when he can and can't save then put many many checkpoints in and certainly between battles. This game wants to be a old school run and gun and the combat is there to make it so. That part is great. What isn't fun is when you have to keep replaying battles over and over again. It's not a challenge. It's super annoying and boring. This game need a manual save with a couple of slots patched in separate from the checkpoints. Developers need to stop micromanaging , provide multiple save options with multiple save slots (because corrupt saves do happen) and let the customer play as they wish. I honestly can't recommend this game . It reminds me exactly of the original version of Hard Reset . I loathed the original because it had only checkpoint saving. Got the Redux version which has checkpoints, manual save and even a QS. The Redux version was an old school blast to play and should have been that way in the original. If you are the type person that can mindlessly replay sections over and over, then this game will be fine for you. If not, stay well clear.
