I heard about this game from r/disabledGamers, and it's been really cool to try the audio cues with with my eyes closed. It seems like the developer has listened put in a lot of work to make the game fun and accessible, and I can't believe it's free! The Discord is really cool, and you know people are using all the a11y features because there's always suggestions and improvements!
UPDATE: I bought and finished the other acts. By act 4, it felt like I really had to know which upgrades and stat points to max on each track, and I had to learn some proper racing strategy! On the easiest difficulty, the free half took about 7 hours, and the harder half took about 9 hours, but I'll update this soon, now that I feel capable of challenge and ultra difficulty!

Impossibly, it seems to live up to expectations! And my computer hasn't even crashed yet!

Already good, keeps getting better.

I first played Invisigun at PAX, and I loved it. I immediately went home and backed it on kickstarter so I could get it as soon as possible. I followed it intensely, and had a month where I was checking my email and the forums multiple times every day just so I could get even a scrap of news about it. As soon as I got it, I promptly annoyed my friends incessantly to play with me. (At least the bots have good AI) Even with the first three worlds there were in beta, there was still a ton to do, and the game has only gone uphill from there. Since then, the dev has worked tirelessly to add tons of new content, including console releases and a challenging campaign for each hero. I cannot recommend this game enough. There's more than enough content and people on the discord EVEN IF you have no one to play it with you!

When they said it was like a mix of FTL and XCOM, they weren't exaggerating. This is great. I just got slowly and painfully destroyed and it gave me the time to write this review. I LOVED THE PAIN.

All the love that's gone into this game makes it impossible to complain about. Easily my favorite game!

Note: I'm not a professional in any way, I'm just a guy who likes writing reviews. I try to remain unbiased, but take note that this is a positive review; I like this game, so don't expect me to be thinking too clearly. :P I'm not being payed or trying to persuade you to buy the game, I'm just relating my experience.

TL;DR
Android Assault Cactus turns this type of game in its head with backwards and chaotic gameplay. While its story and graphics may not be spectacular, it makes up for it with unique and intense gameplay.
Overall score: 8/10

You know those guys who charge around without strategy constantly firing at everything and repeatedly getting themselves killed? You know how everyone hates them for being a stupid liability? Have you ever stopped to consider how they feel or WHY exactly they have no strategy? The reason is revealed in this game; cry no more, that guy! The game pushes you to use this chaotic strategy, whether you like it or not. Guerrilla tactics, sniping, and farming have no effect as the only way to stay alive is to kill everyone as fast as possible. People who play this game will quickly learn that most power ups are worth more than your life and recklessly charge into a hoard of enemies, firing constantly. Trust me, this doesn't subtract from the strategy. To understand it better, look up gameplay. All of this makes up for how very generic the game looks at first.
You thought that was all? The game gets twice as crazy when you try to get a good score. This game is no longer casual when trying to get an S+! Suddenly, local multiplayer becomes an added difficulty and life is precious. Strategy and planning are essential and must be carried out to the millisecond in order to work. Nothing less than a perfect marriage of brilliance and skill will work. (So I'm obviously at a loss. :P)
Score: 8.5/10 (Only because it's not completely original.)

Although the game is notably long, it still has a fair amount of replayability. In fact, some can argue it has too much. With two different multiple different game modes that both focus highly on score, you could literally play this game for months without being satisfied with your completion... The definition of hell for some. However, to a less hardcore gamer, it'll still be fun for a while. After you tire of the many central elements, there's the EX options to change up the game. Among the more notable ones are FPS mode, AI partners, super weapons, duplicate characters, and [ALT CAMERA WHT DOWS IT DO]. Though for some... The immensely fun gameplay, character variety, and local multiplayer could be enough In itself. Perhaps the only problem with playing it over and over is the lack of randomness. I think the only thing that's random is the things dropped by enemies... But you could still argue that it has a great amount of replayability.
Score: 8/10

Anyone with FPS mode can say that the graphics are unnecessarily good. It has a sufficient amount of settings to suit your computer and playstyle... I'm unconcerned with graphics unless you can't see crap or if they lag my admittedly bad computer. This game does neither, so I see no problem with it. For someone who likes playing with graphics, there are plenty of options for that... Which brings me to customization. As mentioned above, you can change the graphics. Other necessary options at included, but they have extras that go above and beyond. I mentioned a few of the EX options earlier, but there are many more. Some make the game more challenging, others make it easier. Some relate to graphics and music, and others fundamentally change the game. Most are serious, some are silly. While the game isn't spectacular in either of these aspects, everyone can agree that it does well.
Score: 7.5/10

I would not buy the game for the story alone. Not that it's terrible; I've seen much worse. The problem is that it's not the BEST. The integration of story with graphics and gameplay is poor... Death robots pop up out of nowhere and brainlessly attack you, and three untrained androids manage to grab extremely powerful weapons and use them for a presumably long time with SIXTY-SECOND BATTERIES by ripping out and draining the batteries or enemies... Just ignore that. Dialogue is infrequent, but characters still have a shocking amount of personality from voice lines in and out of battle. This raises new questions about how they got to be like that, but I'll count it as a plus since personality counts for story in my book. I could go on, but I don't like saying bad things about this game. Let's just say that there are good and bad things that mostly balance each other out.
Score: 4/10

Incredibly fun and skillful. Only good if you like doing the same thing over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over with your friends. Playing vs. AIs = empasse.

Don't pay for it. Just don't. Shockingly, the game runs decently on my laptop, but the design of the lobby is just terrible. The only game that is remotely comparable for this game's duration and patience requirement is league of legends. However, this game lacks the depth. Every strategy ever: SHOOT THE THING TILL IT'S DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!

I saw this on steam and recognized it as my arguable favorite from the games against ebola humble bundle! Great game, and it shouldn't be free. I'm not sure, but I think they added a new difficulty. (Don't quote me.)
