Holy shit is this game incredibly fun! If you're a fan of high octane combo driven skating games, a whole lotta bullet time, sick cel shaded art style and pleasant soundtrack, then this is for you.

Doing tricks and dodging at the last second gets you ammunition. When you defeat enemies the combo multiplier goes up. Dodge at the last second to get slow-mo, then get your guns ready for even more slow-mo action. What fun mechanics, I haven't played a game like this before.

Guns are simple, nothing we haven't seen before, which ain't a bad thing. I am a big fan of the Z-11, very satisfying to pull off shots with that one.

Each level has multiple, varied Challenges to complete, all of which test your skill and knowledge of how to dispatch enemies and traverse the environment. The enemies are all pretty well telegraphed, making it easier to plan your moves and avoid getting hit.

This game pulls no punches, so neither should you. I don't have a ton of time logged in it, but in a few short hours I have been beating levels with full combos, not getting hit, etc. Whole lot of stuff left to do, especially in the Out for Blood campaign.

For the completionists out there, achievement hunting will be fun for some of them, but others will undoubtedly be insanely difficult. I'll see how far I can go, as some will for sure test my patience and sanity.

I believe I got this on sale, but it is totally worth the full price. Another indie banger, very excited to see what else this team will put out in the future.
