A dynamic action game about a local monk, a special forces soldier Vasyan, who walks and carries everyone to the right and left. Among the disadvantages: Not the most pleasant kind of game for this genre and dozens of bugs scattered across all locations. There is a cooperative game in the game, but it works very strangely))
Since I enjoyed Dead Nation and Alienation I got an eye on this one for a while until I got it as a part of PS+ Extra library. I have to say this is the most buggy game I have ever played on PS3/4/5. Still quite enjoyable in the brutality of the finishers and variety of melee and shooting weapons. I recommend it only if your threshold for game crashes is at least moderate. I had to restart one level 3 times and every other or 3rd level froze or crashed at some point. Overall it was not too bad, I'm just not used to console games crashing as much.
The background story is very much tongue-in-cheek, 80s action pop culture, which is right up my alley. The attitude behind the writing reminded me a bit of Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon although not as well executed and extravagant.

This was a really fun game, but thats all, it had potential but it was ugly, with a bad story, and could have some more things to add. This is the second time i play this game and the first one i finish it, i didnt liked the music so the first time i played it i listened to the entire Death Grips discography and now i listened to the entire Kanye West discography lmao.
You know, I like my beat 'em ups. Didn't grow up with them, but it's a genre I've learned to appreciate.
If I'm being honest, the thing I usually like the most about a beat 'em up is they usually allow for local co-op. This game isn't the exception to that, being a game for one or two players.
The biggest sin of the genre is repetitiveness. This game also isn't the exception to that, but I gotta say it took a good chunk of the game for me to feel the gameplay was getting stale. Longer than many of the genre.
At the beginning I was very pleasantly surprised, thinking to myself this was going to be one of the greats, a true hidden gem. I was having a blast with the gameplay and truly felt it like a good evolution of the genre. That feeling did go away, but I had fun all the way though.
The story is whatever. It has a fine, consistent art style and enjoyed the unlockables, but we missed many of them.
We ran into some technical issues, however. There were some cutscenes that had the audio way far ahead of the video showing. There were some levels that had frame rate issues in specific places. However, the biggest offender was a particular level (can't remember which one) where the game would drop the frames to the floor and then crash. The first time we were playing in tabletop mode, then we decided to move to the TV but same thing happened. Then I thought maybe playing the level solo could help, and it did. It was the end of the level.
Bought this for dirt-cheap as part of a 3-games bundle in the eShop. Well worth the price all things considered. Took 5 hours and 19 minutes to beat.
