However, there’s nice colourful neon eye candy, the monster designs are great and I couldn’t really ask for more. This is not the type of game that focuses on extensive artwork, it’s a shooter. Whenever you’re in the mood for some bonkers action with MAHOOOOOOOOSSIVE firepower and so many bullets and explosions that it’s like a mad fireworks display, BaWT is the go-to level, it’s so much fun! Here you have to collect batteries to power up the 4 generators to finally defeat Lovecraft, but you can choose not to activate the generators and instead hose down floods of monsters for hours on end. Victory is declared once you’ve managed to clear all the monsters and on some levels you must also get rid of the portals that spawn the monsters. There are 4 boss levels, including the final Battle at Wardenclyffe Tower. You have to save it for the right moments. It has a cooldown so you can’t dash all over the place constantly (unless you get the rare unlimited-dash Perk).

Many Perks are firepower upgrades.įinally, LEFT-BTN dash allows you to escape tight situations and kill a few monsters on the way. These Perks are very important, they give your character the powers necessary to deal with the flood of new monsters constantly appearing on screen. You get a choice between two for each Perk, and you have a limited number of Shuffles if you don’t like either of them. You get to kill many monsters, so these Perks accumulate thick and fast – it’s not unusual to activate ten at a time. Unlike Crimsonland which automatically pops up each Perk window as soon as it becomes available, here you have to press Y to freeze the action and select your Perks. After a certain number of kills you receive a random Perk. So apart from these pickups, the other way to gain power during a level is by killing monsters (believe it or not). You have to put many shots into them to reveal the crystals which is difficult while the monsters are after you, but if you can collect them and survive the level then they’re added to your crystal inventory which you can spend on permanent upgrades (extra Mech time, dash power, stronger this-that-or-the-other etc). These look like pink shrubs and they tend to be tucked away in corners of the level that can be hard to reach. It’s technically possible to collect parts over and over again and deploy an unlimited number of Mechs – as long as you can survive for long enough to pick up the parts – but usually you only use one Mech at the start of the level and one more mid-level. You do this when you reach a state of emergency and are about to be overwhelmed. Then it disappears but Mech parts reappear in random spots and you have to go around picking them up until you have enough parts to reassemble the Mech once again for a limited time, by pressing A when you’re ready to deploy it. The Mech only lasts for a short period of time though, so you have to make the most of its killing power to give yourself breathing space for your next push. It has high durability and a devastating pair of miniguns that cut through the swarms like butter. My favourite is the big ’10 tons’ weight that drops down from the sky and splats the monsters! Haha! Lightning rods, static clouds, big swords, that kind of thing. These are limited-use special weapons fired with left-trigger. You’re likely to end up with a favourite weapon that you prefer – for me it’s the Repeater Shotgun – and you can press X to lock it in place to avoid accidentally picking up another weapon to replace it, which used to be annoying until they added this patch.

Before I start explaining the upgrade mechanics I want to point out that although this may all seem quite complex, in fact it’s very intuitive – you’re presented with options and you choose them as you go along, no brainwork required.Īs you make your way around a level, constantly on the move, there are 4 types of items you can pick up:
