I feel deeply sad that you have to shoot the Space Pangolins, and not just, y'know, pet them and tell they are a good critter and can have some spicy termites, as a treat.
They put some awesome touches on the enemies like when the armadillo stops on its back and has to roll over and we get to see its cute armadillo tummy!
Instead of adding tons of dlc they should have added things that made players stay and play the game more. Maybe even an expansion pack that adds new enemy types weapons to unlock and skins
The menus look suspiciously similar to Titanfall 2's menus. I wonder if they sold the engine. It also looks like they got the best bits of Risk of Rain, Alienation, helldivers and Diablo 3 and slapped them all together to make this absolute gem.
This game was actually a mobile game used to be called as GIGANTIC X go ahead look it up. Apparently It failed and the game shut down so now it rebranded itself as ANVIL
@@exall2601 I played it a lot back then. I think it got ruined with micro transactions with the VIP system giving more energy to go into missions and by paying premium whales get 2x weapons and equipment drops along with exp boosts. while doing explorations and boss battles.
and If i remember correctly all the characters can dual wield guns like the soldier can use SMG's and shotguns the female uses twin pistols and snipers then the big guy uses 2 handed axe and a gauntlet
@@ej879 Okay, if the biggest issue was monetization, that's actually an easy fix. Bizarrely that actually makes me more interested. I suppose it's seeing 'mobile games' that had potential and slit their own throats with insane money grabs and wanting to see one actually find it's potential instead.
I was butthurt with the devs/game. I was a F2P ranker back then one day I decided to pay for premium - then they shutdown without warning the day after I payed for stuff. :( Such a shame, I liked the game a lot.
BTW, the developers of this game had a previous mobile game called "Gigantic X" that was shut down. This game features many of the same systems and assets, but it's been turned into a roguelite now. The enemies, guns, abilities, and heroes looked all so familiar to me. The initial 3 heroes that you start with were the heroes/classes of that game. A typical shooter with a dodge/dash that buffs him if he uses to barely dodge stuff, a tanky brawler with giant melee weapons, and a duel-wielding engineer with turrets and gravity bombs and laser and crap.
This looks really good ! And not just the aesthetics, that's on point of course, but all of, it has a great feel. The pace is nice, and the power ups are interesting... I think I'll be trying it myself very soon, thanks Splatt'
Lurkers! OMG... Takes me back to a delicious memory of a LAN match vs my older sister. She didn't know about my Lurkers and with them and strategically burrowed/unburrowed Hydralisks destroying her Terran sensors I amassed an impressive force just outside her base while I misled her on their numbers with Zergling recon attacks. Her friends were practically howling with laughter and I agreed to turn off fog of war; the dismayed "Nooooooo!" is a fond memory of getting a bit of my own back just before I sent them all in behind the mandatory sacrificial Zerglings. 😊
Mr Splatty, I love your enthusiasm - and this game looks super awesome !!! 👍😁 But I never want you giving me directions..... Your mapping / exploration is simply way to chaotic for my ordered mind! Makes me dizzy. 😵 @ 7:03 Indeed, some sort of area / world map would be VERY useful. Maybe that's an upgrade you can buy??? 💰
One of the monolith power upgrades is "gain 1 additional mine charge every 15 seconds, ignoring your charge cap" and it's so funny to roll up on a boss with 30 mines saved up
30 years ago, i played mostly multiplayer strategy games, 20 years ago MMOs with PVP, now i'm back to strategy with a regular dash of LoL. I just can't completely give up on pvp...
Senior Gaming is a channel I would watch. Chill co-op, no yelling and a nice long exploration of all menu options for each game. Now pass me my gaming blanket. My legs are getting cold.
@@raTTy_auT I started on Civ (hot seat for multiplayer) and The Settlers (mouse for player 1 and a Joystick for player 2). I started MMOs with Ultima Online and switched to Ragnarok online later on, never got into WoW due to the cost factor of being late to the party. AoE and Annosoaked up days, as did Stronghold at LAN Parties. Those were the days of junk food and CRT monitors :D
True. I used to love competitive gaming, especially PvP when I was younger. I'm almost thirty now and find myself enjoying visual novels because I just want to chill. The funniest thing is, I used to flame the hell out of visual novels but now I love them.
Same I was heavy into pvp games but all i had when I first got my Xbox one in my teens now 22 and can only play for an hour or two and open world single player games preferably rpgs and Jrpgs are my jam now single player over multiplayer and gameplay over graphics right over here keep up the good work splat!
This is a mobile game wayback 2018 but the servers closed due to low player base. I loved this game, this is my go to game substitute for helldivers. Hope they added some depth this time around, thanks for covering it! I'll check it out on steam 👍 Edit: the game was gigantic X, good times😎
Holy Molly! This one reminded me of that Tomb Raider game like this and with lots and lots of puzzles. I would love to see you play that one, even if it's an old game.
the animations are really crisp ! but yeah i would too remove timer or make it like 1 min or somthing, and clearly a mini-map or some environemental way of directing the player. but it's clean as hell !
The character, the shooting, and the upgrades all look like I would enjoy this game. Everything else, though, looks dull as dish water. Even the boss fights left me wanting something more.
Hey splatter i really like your content but would be possible after your vacation or something to do more citybuilders like stonehearth or something like that
Poinsettias are popularly, though incorrectly, said to be toxic to humans and other animals.[4] This misconception was spread by a 1919 urban legend of a two-year-old child dying after consuming a poinsettia leaf
This looks super fun, but idk - after *Livelock* (which was insanely fun) - I am always super sceptical when it comes to squad based isometric action-shooters. :*(
1:00 Yeah, I know thats my issue with, for example, most survival games. I just want to go out and loot crap, bring it home and all, and most are seemingly just designed for "lol, post-apoc PVP RDM time!" And most that arent get turned into that anyways
"I'm not trying to get fisted by an ape live on the internet."
Words to live for, lol.
"Get in the shuttle, soldier!"
"But sir, the level 3 armor..."
"THAT'S AN ORDER, SOLDIER"
"yes sir..."
"Magic space nickels" sounds cooler than just about any video game currency I've ever heard of.
I'm here for the space rhinos and space pangolins.
I feel deeply sad that you have to shoot the Space Pangolins, and not just, y'know, pet them and tell they are a good critter and can have some spicy termites, as a treat.
Ho to destiny if you ever get interested in space turtles and space hippos

did someone say... Xeno Purging????
*EXTERMINATUS*
Dis is de way

hmmm i was just playing stellaris lol

No... MOAR BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD.
Why do I feel like my life is an indie game, set on hardcore, in Alpha testing.
Closed alpha too because no one needs to see this shit show.
and the devs are deaf
And it's scripted by William Shakespeare.
@@mleslie4883 at least it isn’t William Shatner 😁
Is your work paying you in “space nickels”?
god this has mad helldiver vibes. i love it already
Love that game
Yeah I loved that game. Wish there had been more to keep me going or coming back to that game, but it was "helluva" lotta fun while it lasted.

Finally, a classic shoot em’ up kind of game. I rarely see games like this nowadays.
Tried Alienation? It looks like this is a clone of it, 2016, so a bit old now, but pretty awesome.
Synthetik: Legion Rising is similar, check it out
"Please stop with your gross undulating." Quote of the video for me.

I think you meant Hildryn sir.

The things you talk about in the beginning about the experience of PVE and PVP is absolutley how i feel too. Seniorgaming ftw XD

Wow, didnt think I would hear you sing a Code Monkey parody. (2:45)
Came here to post just this.
The creature designs in this one are surprisingly good!
"he's gonna come over and bit us and give us the Ronies"..... pFAHAHA!
Takes every dodge buff, only dodges on bosses. This is the splattercat way.
Same I was heavy into pvp games but all i had when I first got my Xbox one in my teens now 22 and can only play for an hour or two and open world single player games preferably rpgs and Jrpgs are my jam now single player over multiplayer and gameplay over graphics right over here keep up the good work splat!
That JoCo reference at 2:49 is exactly what I needed today.

They should definitely make those floaty boxes more noticeable!
Holy Molly! This one reminded me of that Tomb Raider game like this and with lots and lots of puzzles. I would love to see you play that one, even if it's an old game.
the new ANTHEM game sure looks great!
That StarCraft unit was called a lurker. You had it.
i am a simple man, i see xeno purging i praise the IMMORTAL GOD-EMPEROR OF MAN and slam that like button.
2:06 "But a little bit.. thiccer"
Uhuh, that design sure is thicc
Getting serious Hell Diver vibes here. And that is a good thing! This is looking fun!
Magic space nickels??🤣🤣🤣👌🏾
So about 20 min when that panther thing came out, you telling me splatt isn’t on Pandora with the avatar blue people???
Oh wow i was thinking this would be like destiny and then i saw the isometric gameplay and my hopes were dashed very flatly.
Reminds me of helldivers...which was an awesome game that I hope one day gets a reboot!
did someone say- Paragon assets? lmao. I'm so glad people are effectively utilizing them.
Nice Code Monkey by Jonathan Coulton reference!
This is beautiful and super satisfying
Wow, that was a great video. Felt like five minutes rather than 30.
If this thing has COOP thats gonna be so rad. Reminds me of the older coop top down shoot em up. Alien Hunter or something like that.
the animations are really crisp ! but yeah i would too remove timer or make it like 1 min or somthing, and clearly a mini-map or some environemental way of directing the player. but it's clean as hell !
this is by far best demo in steam i have played, risk of rain 2 with top down view
Loved the "Code monkey" reference
+1 for the Jonathan Coulton reference. :)
Damn, this looks amazing.
Damnit Splatter!!!! Stop this madness. I don’t have enough money to keep buying these freaking games!!!
21:33 Nanowar of Steel - Uranus would fit as a background music now...
omg ... almost a 2D Warframe. Now I really want a 2D Warframe.
Venerate The Immortal Emperor
For the Emperor, Brother!
Space monkey very simple man
with big, warm, fuzzy secret heart.
Space monkey love you.
Space monkey hang around at front desk
tell you sweater look nice
i love the space pangolin! so cute
It's a space pangolin. Careful you'll get space COVIDS.
This game just makes me want Helldivers 2
When you realize Sonic the Hedgehog made a Cameo! 21:15
BREAK / SHOOT the JAR !! ahah nice video by the way
Final boss was so cuuuute!
The character, the shooting, and the upgrades all look like I would enjoy this game. Everything else, though, looks dull as dish water. Even the boss fights left me wanting something more.
this gives me some risk of rain vibes
Was that a variation on the theme song for one of the greatest nerd shows of all time "code monkeys"?
Those enemies on the second level are definitely just lictors
Reminds me of Rift Breakers... the artwork.
Space Pangolin boss was kind of cute
Roguelike Helldivers? Looks great.
Thought this was Rad Brad talking about Anthem 😂
this looks like a better version of Killsquad
This almost reminds me of Harbinger from back in the day.
2:05 "But a little bit thicker" as he chooses the female character :D Well played.
Reminds me of “crimsonland”!
Damn it I want this game.
Hey Anthem, is that you?!?!
Hey splatter i really like your content but would be possible after your vacation or something to do more citybuilders like stonehearth or something like that
Chapter Approved.
The format reminds of Risk of Rain 2
there was very similar mobile game called Gigantic X. 21:00 gigantic x has same boss so perhaps that game was like a port of this game or something.

Lmao! Hell yeah Splat, take that vacation bruh
I'm definitely going to wait for this...Oh, wait, I don't have the leeway to spend on video games.
This game sort of reminds me of a high definition version of Alien Shooter from Sigma Team.
Alien shooter was gassssssss lmao, and it’s like a mixture of that and dead ops arcade lol
@@nicewongerweightman8486 I got the whole collection on steam
@@MichaelDodge29 I used to but I don’t have my laptop anymore :( loved alien shooter, lowkey great story too in the second one
im suprised this game is dope
That one looks really good.
I like to think it's not space nickels they're dropping but doge coin.
You sung code monkey. I think that makes you the generalissimo-supreme of the nerd garrison at Castle Dorkenberg. Well meet Nerd-Brother
Imagine making a game in 2021 where you kill a lot of stuff without ragdoll on enemies.
Yeah, this game looks awesome!
This looks super fun, but idk - after *Livelock* (which was insanely fun) - I am always super sceptical when it comes to squad based isometric action-shooters. :*(
Looks like a spiritual succesor to helldivers 😅 all that's missing is multiplayer 😁 looks cool though
Hell yeah!
Can't explain why but in-game visuals remind me of DarkSpore a bit
Remind me of InHuman or what is that xbox360 game about cyberhuman viking gods
This is like HellDivers but fun.
this game is like expendable millennium soldier in psx.
