Once you start the game presentation is top notch, starts with a very artsy graphic novel-esque video cutscene and transitions to in-game cutscene very smoothly. In-game cutscene is well directed and dubbed too! Setting is very interesting, glad to see 1950s, retrofuturism like Bioshock Infinite. Plot is interesting too like in Half-Life Gordon is a scientist but due to circumstances he turned into a soldier, our character is a firefighter turns into a soldier. And invasion reminded me of Half-Life too! It's like "Seven Hour War: The Video Game"! For gameplay, game uses touchscreen well and from the first level it started with 3 cool weapons, then second level started with another cool weapon.
I was confused on how this game is not talked about and had poor reception. Game kept being good on later stages, Bridge level was a stand out moment for me. However at the end, Conversion Tower level felt bland and lazy. I mean it's truly the Half-Life of Vita, it fell off like Half-Life fell off in Xen levels. Game starts to shove special ammo to your throat at the end but difficulty wasn't increasing at all. There are bigger enemies but there are mines to blow up and oneshot them everywhere.
