I really liked this game right up until the last boss which I can not beat for some reason. I can beat every level on hard and beat all of the bosses 3 times. I just don't know what it is about the last boss. And saying it's a skill issue does nothing to change my mind about my enjoyment of the game. The auto-reload option was far slower than I was able to do on my own making that option useless. Auto aim didn't seem to do anything and I am 100% giving up. I am stick of having to grind levels to afford to die and buy my weapons back.
But my REAL frustration comes from two things:
1. I could not find better weapons than the ones I found at the start. Every crate I found including the ones that require 10 cores to unlock were all far worse than anything I owned. Which meant progression pretty much stopped 2-3 hours into the game for my weapons. It also meant there was no real weapon variety aside from the fact that you carry 3 weapons. And it wasn't just that mine were a little bit better and that I'd have to sacrifice a little to get a little but I'd always have to sacrifice a lot to get a little which never seemed worth it.
2. The points you put into the clone-o-matic taper off after level 30. So unless you plan on a ridiculous grind, you can never unlock everything. Which makes upgrading feel unsatisfying. This might have been more of a moot point had I completed the game.
The other negative reviews were right: once you played and beaten the 5-6 different types of level, it's just those again and again with the different bosses. That wasn't a deal breaker for me since I enjoyed the core gameplay but worth mentioning. The sound was thematically accurate but got a bit tired after awhile. Graphics were good.
Also, sometimes the difficulty didn't feel accurately represented. The train levels even on hard were not hard. The bomb levels were hard even on medium.
