Pretty good retro 2D shooter
Not bad. I don't regret spending 8 hours on this game. That's how long I spent running through it twice and earning all trophies. Someone less thorough might spend as little as 3 or 4 hours to complete it.
Pros:
- Interesting story and setting
- Retro graphics, if you're into that sort of thing
- Doesn't overstay its welcome
Cons:
- Poor English translation
- Story is difficult to follow. Especially true since a lot of exposition in the form of conversations and texts are only available on the train while you're forced to devote your attention to keeping up the health of the passengers.
- Very little explanation of game mechanics. I suggestion reading an online "tips" list or walkthrough. There were a few mechanics, such as crafting, I didn't learn about until after I'd already completed the game the first time. The second time through was much smoother, but wouldn't have been necessary if things had been better explained from the start.
