A fast-paced arcade-styled shooter with permadeath and real-time map. Has randomly generated runs, actually fantastic voice acting, colorfully designed characters, and a simple yet interesting upgrade system. You follow the story of 4 self-proclaimed heroes as they fight the injustice of the "Earth Unit" - a collaborative government created by the people of Earth in an effort to keep their dying planet from becoming nothing, but a memory.
Unit Down is a really interesting game, and I did enjoy it to an extent, but sadly I was not fan of the real-time map mechanic of how it worked. You would go into planets to fight enemies, and while you are fighting there, the space map would still keep going forward in real-time, where missiles and enemy ships would spawn from earth. I didn't really understand first how to go back from the planet to shoot the missiles and ships on the space map, but I did eventually figure it out.
It's a fun enough game, and the fact that it is quite well made with the voice acting, awesome soundtrack and the character designs, it's definitely a worthy game to get and play. Totally recommended!
