ormentor x Punisher asks what if Michael Cusack and Justin Roiland got together and said "What if Doom was a top-down shooter?". I mean you play a random badass chick in space who flies to planet "Fuck You" to kill demons. The similarities end at demons and their bad ass slaying protagonist. But the intro cutscene really feels like it was straight out of something from Adult Swim.
After Assault Android Cactus I felt like playing some more twin stick shooters and this certainly fits the bill in terms of kinetic gameplay, but couldn't be further from the game in its theme. Demons splatter into a gory mess and a heroine yells vulgar remarks like "fuck yeah" as she pops them like a water melon. The gameplay has an incredibly basic premise. You have a machine gun and shotgun, the latter reloads the former. There are several enemy times that I saw (not sure if there are more as you progress) from basic knife wielding demons, shield bearing demons, fire blasting imps, spider looking things and more. As you progress through the level one of seven random bosses will appear. Like the enemies you can one shot them if you hit them in the right spot but that's easier than it sounds. The bosses have unique move set like a worm that will slither around, killing you on contact, burrowing before reappearing and spitting acidic puddles. Or the rat man who spins to win, a big guy who drops boulders and jumps, landing in large areas and more. It was a pretty satisfying 2 hours of fun and I could definitely see myself going back if I wanted some mindless twin stick action. I really wish there was more cutscenes and I think the game could be expanded as a rogue lite; with cutscenes interspersed as you progress.
