Crazy Steam Bros 2 Reviews

The game isn't really that bad. Don't get the two angry reviewers down there. it's actually pretty nice, for the price. (3 bucks) Yes controls lack of precision in "little" moves. Other than that , graphics are pretty cool. Animations are polished. Bosses looks great. And the gameplay have some interesting features (limited Pup usage, downgrading score when hit etc) Difficulty is hight but not impossible. bomb usage is nice. (needs good placement and practice) If you like arcade Side Scrolling shooter with nice visuals, go for it ! I mean, it's not if this game was expensive. 3 bucks worth it Aside from that, yes developers should really improve visual and handling of the GUI / menus. (make all the menus less huge on screen ?) And maybe tweak the controls and the "steam bubblign effect" on some things (like the ship iddle move, the HP cursor). Difficulty starts to be maybe a little too hight on the end of second level. - online highscores ? would be cool. - keeping powerups when dying and restarting levels , because other than that its hard to "retry" on second one and later. The bad thing is this game should have been early access or beta for now... Don't rush it out guys ! Rework it a bit. Try to improve major things and maybe it'll get the love it deserves.

It's an old style scrolling game with random weapons. Fun, Frustrating and frustrating_fun. The controls are limited but add to the frustrating_fun. It'll wake you up and entertain the children... an me I guess. :-)

It's a really fun fly-shoot game for what it costs. it has a good amount of dufficulty, fun powerups, and cool looking enemies. 7/10.

The design and idea for steam punk is great, the control's make it a horrible decision...K to shoot for anyone wondering

[b] Target Audience: [/b] [I] None [/i] [b] Summary: [/b] Absolutely not. This game has so many fundamental problems with it, it doesn't deserve your time. I try to match people to the game and the genre type, and go with its strengths, but there is no match here. I'm sorry, there's too many problems with the game at a fundamental level. Yeah, it looks nice, but not only are there ridiculously bad controls that are really hard to work with, but there was bugs all over the place. Just avoid.

[/list] [b]Negatives:[/b] [list] [*] Controls are floaty and abysmal because of it. Needed precision is unobtainable. It makes the game literally unplayable. [*]Obvious Mobile Design game is obvious. [*]Does not save options like audio levels. [*]Game can exit with one single button push without prompting with escape key. [*]QA did not exist. Bugs all over the place. Was able to be in the options menu and kept on playing. [*]Nothing stands out about game design. [*]Sound and music loops get old rather quickly [/list] [b] If you want more reviews/information regarding games I've reviewed, visit my curator.

EDIT: A shmup needs excellent and precise controls, otherwise any and all potential for fun has been wasted. Keep reading for more detailed reasons why this game has failed, even at it's low price point. First off, I should mention that this is a sequel to Crazy Steam Bros. which you can find and play for free over on Kongregate. It's a simple yet fun horizontal shoot'em up, or shmup, that has a number of interesting weapons and enemies to keep fans of the genre occupied. It's not quite like your typical bullet hell shooter, but the games style is what sets it apart from the pack. I enjoyed the original, although us players were stuck using just the keyboard and there were very few additional options to choose from or adjust in game. Crazy Steam Bros. 2 feels a bit like the original and looks slightly sharper. In fact, the graphics are quite charming given the era that the game is supposed to take place in. The visuals won't blow you away but they work quite well for the theme of the game. Unfortunately, I can't recommend Crazy Steam Bros 2 because of how it controls. It says on the steam store page that Crazy Steam Bros 2 includes full controller support, and although I could get my wired Xbox 360 controller to work, it felt quite wonky and my plain "floated" all over even after I had let go of the analog stick or the D-pad. Shooters need to be smooth and precise, and while the Keyboard controls work better than the controller, I can't recommend the game considering how unintuitive the controls feel while playing with a gamepad. It's very obvious that this is a game that could be played on a tablet or mobile device (there's even an option that allows you to hide or show touchscreen controls while you play - although I can't see why anyone would want to play this using touch screen controls even if you do own a smart monitor!). Even mouse input would have been a nice option, but the controls really do need to be more precise. I'm sad to say that It almost feels like a rushed port, which it very well might be. I really wanted to like Crazy Steam Bros 2 especially since I found the original to be novel idea with some entertaining gameplay, even though it was free and the game wasn't very long. The sequel unfortunately doesn't provide enough options, or precision in its control schemes that should be found in any and all good Shmups. Crazy Steam Bros 2 isn't a bad game, it just controls badly, and until these rudimentary features are fixed, it isn't worth your money, not even at the low price it's selling for. It should also be mentioned that there are no Steam Leaderboards either, even though it is listed as a feature on the Steam store page. Be patient and wait to see if the game is updated anytime soon. If it is, then I'll update my review as well.
