Space Grunts Reviews

The pretentious trailer doesn't live up to its promise. As far as I figured out, the gameplay loop is more or less the following: (1) Pray for good items/ammo (2) Learn the minimum number of hits needed to kill enemies with each weapon so that you don't waste ammo (3) Move back and forth until the enemy makes a stupid decision and walks into your line of fire, otherwise you walk into theirs and take extra damage (4) Pray that plants heal you to max instead of dealing insane damage (5) Die because there's an arrow above a console in a room full of fire traps that, for some reason, you walk inside when you click on it (6) Restart from the very beginning because for some reason this game is a roguelike (7) Die again because you need to wait one turn for fire to stop shooting out of the ground, but you're surrounded and there's no way to skip your turn--you are forced to walk into the fire, which does more than 50% of your max HP as damage over time. (8) Write a bad review and ask Steam for a refund I will say, the idea of no waiting in between turns is really cool, but I think this causes the gameplay to be too simple for its own good. You're controlling one guy, and the decision making is literally just hoping enemies walk stupidly.
