this game just feels like it has no soul-it has all the elements of a great toss game but it just falls flat-a big boring grinder that you have to pay attention to so you can swat the nerd a little farther in a split second window of time-going to play Pirate Launch to wash the taste from my brain
the bonus you get for having medals can make getting started on a new save so much easier-I bought a house on the first day.I think the Hunter is probably the easiest to get going with once you learn to "lead" your shots so they connect where the mob will be not where they are when you fire.
I am at day 61 and I can sit out the fighting. 1 grav gun one grenade launcher and a shottie to back up whatever i decide to use. I have never had a problem getting started after I started holding off tower upgrades to save for house(the maintenance will kill you early on).get a full party with the right people(might need to hire and fire a bit)and you should be fine
