In Jydge you have fixed maps. Each "difficulty" for the map has 3 different semi-optional objectives (like save hostages etc). You mix and match your loadout each time, based on your play style, the objectives, etc - there is no right way to play. As such its completely different to Neon Chrome (one life, random levels, random loadouts) and TimeRecoil (fixed maps, no loadout, one way to play each map well).
Im also enjoying TimeRecoil a lot less than Jydge, but I will persevere with it.
I like the slow-mo idea but arguably Max Payne did it better as a 3rd person shooter years ago.
And I like the time travel idea but going from 1988 to 1981 to 1987 is really just not all that interesting. :) I mean I thought the game might have us veer into wildly different years and settings.
Jydge certainly is more flexible in how you can approach stuff and it's more focused on weapons and abilities and equipment customization. The medals system there still ends up requiring a fair amount of replaying the same fixed levels to earn enough medals unlock the next mission map. But I never felt I had to play a Jydge map a certain way to succeed -- certainly seemed to reward variety in tactics. :)
While I appreciate Time Recoil not being a roguelike, I already see that I'll need to play many levels over and over and over to figure a way through them.
I like it but I don't feel Jydge or Time Recoil or Tesla vs. Lovecraft so far come close to Neon Chrome in fun factor or replayability, at least for my tastes. I feel like TvL may reach sales heighths their other twin-sticks haven't reached because, well, it's a flashy game with screenfuls of monsters and that just seems to sell (I quit TvL for now cause I'm stuck on its 2nd "Aether" difficulty and can't progress any further). :)
And I think the roguelike or roguelite label that Neon Chrome has tends to scare more casual gamers off. And plus, the name. What the heck IS a "Neon Chrome" anyway? Maybe "Maze Massacre" would've drawn more attention/sales. :) I've wandered so far off topic, sorry. :)
