This game is only $0.99 on Steam (or $0.79 if you buy it in the next few hours) and is supposed to be pretty fun. I think it has co-op, but not sure if that's the "campaign" or what? If so, we could team up on this one

I played through the first 11 days yesterday. Really fun arena shooter. Apparently there are 101 days total, so that's the "campaign" as it were. I'm gonna run through it solo since I play at really random intervals of time lol, but co-op would be awesome at any point :)

This is pretty light and easy so far, it wouldn't be too much of an extra burden, lol. Plus plenty of gibbing :D

I am on day 11 and it's pretty fun. 4 player co-op seems like a pretty ripe idea for people on here for sure!

Beware, the boss at Day 20 kicked my ass several times. And my wife was playing with so we had two of us.

I just made it to day 21 and it's pretty damn fun. Pretty ridiculous but oh so fun.

I think we should definitely try this co-op. How do we go about making an event?

Up to day 43. Still fun but almost gets a little bit repetitive.

The Bulkify and the Boar's Milk are HUGE assets that I didn't really utilize until I got into the 30's. Also, I have found some secrets (Skulls, Four Suns (one being a trick shot, not sure what that means) that change the color of the sky, a key which unlocked a cowboy hat) and just other random stuff that wasn't sure if it was secret or not.

I definitely want to get to the last day and definitely still want to play this via co-op with some folks!

Day 86.....

So my review is this:

Fun game but VERY repetitive. The 'Revenge' days are by far my favorite days as they allow for unlimited ammo and shoot anything that moves. The amount of weapons seems like a lot at first but once you've unlocked them all (which happens VERY early in the game), I kind of felt like 'Why do I even care to continue?' The secret stuff is cool but again, not sure what any of it adds to the game. Having the electric fence in the middle adds SOME level of massive kills in one shot but a lot of times the boars completely avoid that area.

-RANDOM- I blew up a random blimp. No idea why but it was fun. -RANDOM-

The farmer, while charming initially, gets repetitive as the days go on. Making that the factor that starts/ends a wave seems great to begin but as the days have gone on, I just wanted the waves to continue without having to enter the barn to get to the next day.

Back to the guns, I don't see any gun really sticking out when it comes to power. It's either you want something that shoots fast (really any gun but the shotgun/rocket launcher) or something that packs a punch (the shotgun or the insane twist on the rocket launcher). I'd love to see some differentiation on the guns. Heck, even add the ability to level up guns to improve specs on them. Give me a reason to pick the paintball gun (other than the fact that it is a PAINTBALL GUN!! :-0)

The fact that the bosses after every 10 days doesn't really change is REALLY disappointing. Fighting Princess on the 20th, 40th, and so on intervals just feels lazy. This can easily be remedied by just adding in more types of bosses. I know the theme is boars, but what if there was a random CHICKEN as a boss? Again, doesn't have to be mind blowing but would love to see something different at the major boss points.

Items in the game range from Boar's Milk (which allows for an increase in speed), to grenades (which I have found to be pretty useless, but that's just me, I think), to Bulkify (this gives the user super strength and allows you to destroy anything via melee combat). Again, cool ideas but I'd love to see some more items available....and maybe add actual item drops to the enemies as you kill 'em. Or if you get one shot kills on x number of enemies in a row, drop something special.

Finally, the grinder. I think the Grinder might actually be one of my favorite features of the game. Nothing extravagant, but it allows for items to be acquired through the offering of boar parts. More boar, the higher the meter. Each item takes a chunk off the meter. Again, nothing revolutionary, but I did find it a good feature in the game. You could probably add more flair to this as well, but I like it.

So overall, I know it sounds like I'm complaining a lot (I think I am), but this game really has a LOT of potential. I've not tried it co-op but truly think for the price, this game is a great addition for that purpose. I think changes/additions to a lot of small things could really make this game even more of a hidden gem than it is. Even with all the complaints, I know I had sessions where I'd breeze through 10 or 12 days and not realize how much time was spent. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an easy game that is good for playing when you need a break from that big RPG.....or if you're just looking for something that has mindless written all over it.

Stay away if repetitive is the devil.

The end.

Haha, didn't even notice this was a bounty. I love this silly game. As a little "Did you know" factoid, it originally launched on Xbox 360's XBLIG marketplace. I for one am glad they brought it onto Steam and apparently update it regularly.
