Strafe takes great delight in catching you off guard.
Your experience is less about the thrill of the fight, and more about watching characters you love annihilate enemies in creative and spectacular ways.
There's just enough plot here to act as a vehicle for the many cheesy one-liners which are the meat of this game's script.
I highly recommend The Fidelio Incident for anyone hungry for moving stories in video games.
Welcome to Inner Chains, a slow and slightly cutthroat excursion into the depths of suffering and horror.

If this is your entry point, you've picked a good one.
All in all, I enjoyed my time with Acaratus.
I spent almost a full day mulling over who would do what job.
Antihero is a charming aesthetic package wrapped around a solid tactical core.
The combat… my god the combat. I can't imagine playing through the entire campaign with all that frantic button-smashing.
Your color mixing produces clean, gorgeous results that feel like they should be on the set of some ultra-modern music video.

With every successive stage the potential dangers grow, and new ones are always being added to the pile.

Looterkings is a game that can't sustain itself without multiplayer. Playing this game on your own is a punishment. With some friends, however, it's pretty fun.
It's just somewhat obvious that this was meant to be a longer game.
Even beyond the game's inherent boobness, these aren't your typical water fights.
