UTOPIA 9 - A Volatile Vacation

This initially started at the bottom of my twin-stick 'to-get' list. Factors were a poor impression gotten from a more-narrative-than-informative trailer that seemed more interested in showing off a rather half-assed mixed media motion-comic than its gameplay, and vague 'samey' screenshots that seem to sell the vistas more than the main course. It had even put me off looking for lets play videos as a result. Talk...

Nice game. I enjoyed this more than Forced Showdown and Enter the Gungeon. Not sure why, but it controls well and I like the mechanic where the enemy that kills you gets your old weapons and becomes a boss enemy. Give it a try for yourself, it's inexpensive and worth a play.

It's really not that fast, and controlls aren't tight enough. Weapons and ammo are pretty scarse and it's just not fun enough.
