Tried to find the thread I started on this way, way, way back when it was announced, but it's obviously been another forum casualty.
Only found out it had actually finally been released as @CMcK posted about it earlier today (thanks for that!), and I couldn't ditch what I was supposed to be doing quickly enough to get it downloaded!
Since I can't update my old thread I might as well start one in here as I've played through the first two areas. First up I think it's absolutely brilliant looking in true 16-Bit era style, there's so much visually in here that I think @Dogg Thang would if nothing else enjoy just staring at it.
Once I got used to the fact that I had to be more tactical with weapons it really clicked, I'd went for the gung-ho approach to start with and got a bit of an arse kicking. Gameplay isn't overly complicated, there's a bit of cover mechanic to try and get some reprieve from the onslaught but it's pretty much just kill, kill, kill with a variety of guns and melee weaponry. Each stage has several bounties you have to take down from each gang, with the last being the gang leader, and some of them have been great so far. Tons of 80's action movie style one liners in there for the chuckles, the audio in general is great all round.
Will hopefully manage to get some proper time on it after I close the shop tomorrow night and properly add something to this, but so far I think it's great. My only slight criticism so far is I'd like the sections between the bounties to be a bit longer, as even though the boss fights have been fun, I'm finding the main platform mayhem sections more entertaining.
