Conceptually, I'd love this game. It's one of the rare "wall defender" type of game where you defend a wall against hordes of enemies and there are few examples of this game, perhaps the best still being Elona shooter from a decade ago because I never managed to find a newer and more complex game.

Unfortunately the game is very shallow and also repetitive. There is little weapon variety, the characters are very similar and every run ends up being the same. There's also what, five different enemies? And the story can be completed in an hour. There are only a few very short interactions to be seen outside of it.

The gameplay is also pretty braindead honestly. You just blindly shoot and you're good, there isn't much thought or strategy involved. At most there's a bit of RNG in the survival mode.

The sprites are part of the game's charm, unfortunately while they look good, there's hardly any animation at all. So overall, it's a pretty average experience.

Interesting wee game, bought it on sale. It could do with more level variety and more time spent with your comrades, but on the whole it was fine.

Reminded me a lot of Papers, Please in certain places. It was nice that this game was actually good rather than miserable, though.

brings me back to a simpler time of playing Bush Shootout in the school computer lab

Pretty neat. It's not really hard, I beat it on my first run, so I'm assuming the difficulty will be in getting certain endings. I got ending 08. It has good art and music. I might try to get more endings at a later point.

Bite-sized experience. Pretty fun.
