Steam review snapshots
Another issue is that certain bosses require certain weapons to be hit…Pros: – The UI is very slick – The gameplay is interesting – Explosions are nice, weapons feel great – Rewind feature…Sometimes it is hard to understand what is happening and why.Pilot classes made them feel much more human and unique and plays well with the mech loadouts, and being able to unlock…Why it fits
Check it if you want simulation, strategy filtered by weird, single-player.
