Well Done.

Such an amazing little gem of a game, great story telling matched with superb music and vocal songs. Had a great time playing this. The end was awesome.

Epic

This game is good fun, quite a challenge but has so much replayability.

~Edit~
I can't believe after so many years this game just keeps bringing me back again and again.
More new content, more new bosses, crazy new items and by far one of the games I will always remember fondly due to its roots from the original NES Zelda style.

The most engaging and enteraining Tower Defence game I have played in a long time, the story whilst I felt could use a few more cinematic cutscenes was engaging and I was keen to play this game almost every time I got onto the PC. I had a blast playing this game and the bosses were sooo amazing and intense whenever you fought them. The bonus part of the game is you have a little ship you can help to defeat waves of enemies (sorta like raiden style)

Pros
Fantastic graphics
Awesome voice acting
Was awesome to be aliens
Nice level design
Very challenging
Level editor/creator
Great skill tree
Amazing final boss
DLC is a high possibility (so im told)

Cons
Multiplayer is only on the same PC
An endless mode for when you finish would have been awesome (but there is a level editor)
More variety of turrets or turret upgrades

Overall I had a blast playing this game and cant wait for DLC or a sequel! Had people who didnt like the tower defence genre cheering for a final blow on a boss and was amazing fun.
Would highly recommend it to anyone. I would rate this 8.8/10

Was looking for an awesome jump scare game that had a great atmosphere and good graphics and I can say I was impressed!!! This game whilst an older game was fantastic and well worth the time played. Albeit the cutscenes were sometimes a bit stuttery, the game left me feeling amazed and awestruck at how powerful the Aliens actually are.

Pros
Scary ( https://clips.twitch.tv/OddDrabShingleTriHard )
Great story that meshes well with the Aliens movies
Did I mention jump scares?
Good graphics
Amazing soundtrack

Cons
Some stuttery cutscenes
Spacewalking was very slow and tedious
Game occasionally crashed

Overall I loved this game, and so did everyone in chat. We had a blast and I screamed like a baby on more than one occasion, even just at explosions.
Would recommend it to anyone for a scary game and rate it 8.7/10

I must admit I was expecting a game more like Lemmings but viewers said this game reminded them of Pikmen.
The basic aim of the game is to clear out waves of random enemies that are travelling toward your base platform and then eliminate a boss using different robots that you fire to damage, slow or change the enemy movement.

Pros
Very challenging
Bosses were great, difficult but not impossible (can restart at the boss if you fail)
Arcade style of game


Cons
Would prefer the music to sync through the continue screen, albeit the music was good, dying a lot causes it to be discontinued and I prefer it be continuous
Unable to rebind keys (prelaunch review)
Felt the hitboxes were sometimes too punishing, especially on the small pink spikes.


Overall I enjoyed the game, and whist it isnt the type of game I would usually enjoy the challenge alone kept me attempting to progress and the bosses were quite well designed.

I would rate this game 6.8/10 just because it isnt the type of game I enjoy, and could use a little work on the hitboxes. Viewers said this game would be amazing as a Mobile App and I am inclined to agree. With a little more work this could be a great game but also fail to see if there is any replayabilty (eg, randomized endless levels, ladderboards, etc)

I very much enjoyed this game, it reminded me a lot of the Metal Slug games without as much sidescrolling action.
Albeit in my first few hours I didnt get too far in the game it was still quite beautiful and fun to play. This is a game I will definately play more of and can play for in short bursts or a long session to try and get more gear to level up.

Pros
Random Levels
Challenging
Beautiful Artwork (2D hand drawn art)
Quirky & Funny
Nice Music
Automatic Leveling


Cons
Unable to change keybindings
Could use more sidescrolling levels (most areas I saw were static - bar a race that was pretty cool)
Outfits & how they improved your stats wasnt very intuitive

Overall I rated the game 7.5/10

Brothers can be played with a Controller or Keyboard, a game update has allowed KEYBOARD as a valid option.

"Notice: Brothers - A Tale of Two Sons requires a controller to play" is BOGUS and needs to be removed!


I purchased a controlled because of this Notice, and didnt actually need it.
Felt very annoyed as i felt that Steam Lied to me!

Bar that I cant comment on the game too much, graphics and sound is fine but didnt play it and am contemplating returning it.
