A fun game, but with some significant problems added to it. It feels like a fun game that takes cheap shots at you from time to time. -No manual aiming, your projectile targeting is automatically selected for you (often the closest target, or first within line of sight). Grenade aiming becomes very awkward and inconsistent, sometimes an enemy being underneath you causes you to throw grenades at your feet, even if you don't have line of sight. -Jumping sometimes causes you to do a back flip, which makes firing rockets while airborne go in the wrong direction -The back flip also causes you to hit spikes and other hazards, especially when jumping through 1-block wide passages -Unskippable cutscenes for events, even if you have already seen them once that run. -Map generation frequently creates situations where reaching keys or objectives forces you to run into a buzz saw or spikes -Limited enemy types and map tiles, game can feel repetitive fast. -Text-to-speech and music choice can feel quite grating. -Ogre stun grenades are thrown in a very strange arc, causing them to curve behind your shield. They are also homing, infinite range, and pass through walls. The worst aspect of this game, making every death feel like a cheap shot. -Poison gas clouds pass through walls. -The Hydra boss dying causes the key to fall into an acid pool, which forces you to take free damage to open the gate to the next room If you can ignore all of these, or they just dont irk you, this game is worth your time. 6/10
