It wants to be an arcade shooter but then mixes in other things in a real half assed way... Actually, sounds like most of what they put in is pretty half assed. A shame because I love the way it looks and all the destructible things. Still... This guy did say it is a cheap game and I expect in a year it will be able to be had for just a few bucks somewhere.

Cool, Thanks!

The game seems to have a few issues; First of all TB has a monster of a rig, and if he has to turn down settings because he gets framerate drops then the game probably is not well optimized.

It looks like they wanted to make an old-school, arcade style FPS, but incorporated some bad aspects of modern shooters; recharging health, bloody screen... so realistic, checkpoint saves, 3 inch vertical leap,

Arcadey shooters are not my thing, I prefer slower paced, more story-driven ones. But, yeah, if you want to pick it up cheap you'll probably be able as early as the Steam Christmas Sale.
