While the gameplay is admittedly rough, it is really cool to see how just a few (ok, maybe more than a few) tweaks led to the masterpiece that is 3rd Strike. And although the urban atmosphere of 3S isn't really present here, it's still a really pretty game with some solid tracks to boot. Gill's voice is really goofy too idk why he kind of sounds like this guy

this feels like a prototype, and it was a full released game LOL.

I totally get and have read about the development history this game had, and how that affected all versions, which makes all balance decisions make sense as to why they are like that.
I see the heart they put into this even with the little experience they had, but despite everything, this version is indefensible
