Cyborg Force, new 2023 project

[Neo Alec]

The opening to the first level has the character flying down to the ground in a ship. I got reminded of it with the descending to martian service intro. Since Halloween Harry was an influence I just wanted to check about this other game from the same era

Getting shot down at the beginning has to be inspired by Contra Hard Corps.

A lot of movement feels like Turrican

We've had very few reviews, and they range from 6/10 to 10/10 so far.
In short, people generally say the music is +, and graphics are -, which is something you can easily appreciate yourself in the various videos posted

The divisive bit is the difficulty, and the how the gameplay actually needs to get familiar with, on pain of repeated, humiliating deaths

We tried to make it so it plays like an arcade game of the early 1990s, for good and bad; not like a modern game on an old system... One player was very angry that you couldn't credit feed the game to the end (as spending a credit respawns you at the beginning of a level). Another one said it was too easy for "serious players". So honestly, it's really down to what you're expecting. If you're not sure, you can try out the PC version, it's the cheapest of the bunch; it will even be up on Steam on May 6th with 15% off.

Thanks

Game difficulty in 2024 in a nutshell. Most are too lazy to "git gud" and the few who actually play games are busy shaming everyone else.

that's the kind of brainlet that claims all arcade games are coin munchers and the same thing as modern microtransactions
