Lots of good things going on here.
The game has a snarky, abrasive humor.
Beat-em-ups can be fun.
Some upgrades etc.
The controls are not great. But could be fixed.
The labels for the controls are not interactive so I had to experiment with my Xbox controller to make it work.

Fun game. Somewhat repetitive due to the grind and repeated games with limited levels. Various game modes and weapons make the game enjoyable. Price should be halved for the amount of content.

Fatal Theory is a nice retro blast from the past.
Plotwise the premise seems simple at first, you’re a guy with a bat to beat up the zombie hordes with; but then things get crazier and more interesting fast. There are undead generals wielding equipment from different time eras, a sword spirit that bickers with the hero and a lunatic in a mech. The main character is slash happy and wreck-less; becoming the subject of everyone’s jokes as a result. There’s plenty of humorous lines that reference Castlevania-esque fantasy, dystopian punk and parodies of clichés of the on-coming apocalypse.
The gameplay is quick to pick up, but tricky to master. There’s plenty of combos to experiment with,
from sliding lunges to aerial spin attacks and elemental summons. As you progress, you’ll unlock new equipment, allies and stats along the way. My favourite weapon pairing was lighting ⚡ whip + chainsaw blade.
There’s also a neat survival mode, which allows you to play just about any character you’ve encountered in the game including a tank…
