Defender of the Galaxy

Oh, i get a mirror shield as new ability :D And the boss in that level shoots single big bolts at me... hmmm. Lets reflect them! ... oh, they break my shield >.<

Finished the campaign. I can't honestly give this game more than a 3, there is nothing in particular wrong with it but most of the stuff is barely "right" rather than "awesome". To start with the good stuff, the graphics are simplistic but they do the job right, the upgrade system is decent and I liked the persistent upgrades gathered during the missions. Due to the static backgrounds and a fairly large ship to screen proportions the game had a fairly static feel to it, enemies only followed a few attack patterns and differed only in looks and stats between the races. My main gripe was that despite fairly simplistic graphics occasionally the game gave me a huge lagspike, especially prominent on levels with asteroids, I can imagine that on higher difficulties the frantic movement of the ship from one side of the screen to another in a single frame could easily spell doom to the player. Again, not a bad game but simply put it nothing amazing.

Function-wise its a good, working game. The thing is so GENERIC though that it feels stock. No, worse, shovelware. Would it kill you to add a scrolling background or some unexpected enemies types/shot patterns?

The lag makes the game skip about 2-3sec at random. It's very difficult to achieve anything or survive during those circumstances. :/

controls are annoying
