I used to play the heck out of the Mechwarrior games when I was a teenager, so this was wonderfully nostalgic (once I wrapped my head around turret vs. mech rotation again).\n\nI wish the dialog was mixed a little louder. It seemed interesting, but I missed a lot of it in the heat of the battle. Also, the enemies were spawning in threes right next to me at the end, which felt a little unfair.\n\nBesides these nitpicks, though, this is AMAZING work for 72 hours.","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"daniel","author_uid":1001816,"time":"2017-08-01T20:38:03Z","epoch":1501619883,"modified":1501619883,"text":"Great work done in only a weekend.

You made a Mech Warrior clone in 3 days? The first game that gets the five star overall from me. So satisfying!\n\nLikes:\n- badass title\n- awesome voice acting.\n- heavy metal riffs, how could anything with these be not good, ever :)\n- awesome sound and quite good graphics\n-  satisfying and punchy gameplay ... YOU WON\n\nTry differently:\n- I had a game pad connected at first, it made my mech go super crazy. I was afraid I couldnt play the game, but it plays fine with just keyboard and mouse if I unplug the xbox360 controller\n- I won the game on the first playthrough with no tweaking of my powersystems and without using shields. At the end, I was only able to fire missile volleys, but the enemies were easy to kite.\n\nOverall:\n- mind bogglingly awesome\n- the religions subtones are bad-ass in conjunction with the heavy metal soundtack. \n\nThis game ROCKS!

It took me a second to get used to the controls but when I did I had a blast. I think if you continue this game you need to give more feedback to the player; More punchy sounding guns and explosion sounds (Check out gameplay of BLACK to see what I mean), and visual damage to enemies while your hurting them and afterwards as well (Maybe flash red based on how much damage was given and dent their armor or have sparks and fire if they're heavily damaged.)

I love me some mech simulation. Fortunateley, this game scratched that itch.  \n\nThe graphics are top-notch, along with the cool and fitting soundtrack. The sounds were fitting also, and the voice acting a nice touch, not ofter heard in an LD-game.  \nAlso, you've managed to make some decent controls out of the standard keyboard and mouse. Forcing people to use a joystick would've set the bar to play too high.  \nI liked the original backstory and integration into the game as well.  \n\nI did see some slight immersion-breaking things here and there.  \nThe enemies are just drawn into view. Teleporting in front of you. A spawn-cove in a building, or some other way of spawning out of view, would've been less jarring.  \nAnd the ending was, compared to the superb intro, very dissapointing. You win? That's it?  \n\nYeah, that's it, for minuses. That's all you get subtracted. ;)  \nI'm very impressed by the game, and it's very obvious in your case what a good team can do given the same amount of time as a single person!
