质量尚需打磨

ui不行,操作不方便,例如位移与发射子弹易混淆,而且画面挺乱的,但是看在玩法新颖,加上是中国的工作室,故给四星,请你们再接再厉

Amazing

Just a great game overall even compared to pc games that somehow is on mobile

Incredibly fun game

Very fun and challenging game with a more methodical playstyle than the developer’s previous game reversEstory. New mechanics gradually open up as you progress the game and the bosses you fight also become more fun and difficult. The IAP are mainly if you want to make the game easier and are completely optional (and can be earned with ads or daily play).

The only complaints I have are:
-The controls took some time to get used to as the playstyle is quite different from reversEstory’s more fast paced action oriented gameplay.
-The first couple runs you will have no clue what the symbols of the map are and you will have to try them out to figure out what they stand for.
-Some items you get have vague terms like hardness or damage inflicted (it means damage inflicted on you not the enemy) that could use a better explanation or a glossary to help explain what they do.
-The main character needs to be more visible/noticeable on the screen. Late game there will be so many enemies in cramped rooms that it gets incredibly difficult to see what’s going on and get unnecessary hit.
-Sniper weapons are a bit finicky with their aiming. There are times where I aim at an enemy for several seconds without shooting even if its the first shot.
-Postgame/Max difficulty bosses are huge damage sponges especially when using gamma energy as all bosses especially at the end take tens of thousands of damage and still have tons of hp left. In gamma energy mode most weapons are just flat out useless and if you don’t get a good weapon before the first boss you either spend at least 5-10 minute per boss attempt (Sloth is the worst of the bunch early game) or restart your run.

It’s just yes

The game is amazing, the A and B guns and the bosses are all good with a bunch of strategy involved. Amazing game 5/5

ios和安卓存档不互通问题

新游很不错!目前安卓手机也在玩,iPad也在玩,但是我发现虽然它们都能云备份,但是账号不互通,而且没有一键本地上传功能和一键备份功能,希望能让iOS和安卓数据共通!
