Shadowgrounds

It is a top down isometric view you can rotate the view 360 degree's you gonna need to because the aliens come from everywhere. You start out armed with nothing but a flashlight. The first aliens are pushed back when the light is on them. Which works out because the range of your light is as far as you can see.

Played the demo and you get all kinds of cool weapons. Best part is though is you get to customize them with more damage, bigger splash, or added effects like a slow or the ability to chain off multi mobs. It came out today so I will pick up the full game soon.

I played it about 6 months ago when the Euro version was released. Can't really put my finger on what was wrong with it but I lost interest after the first few maps. I was looking forward to a top-down iso game too, but the gameplay just wasn't that fun.

Yea, both those games are great. I was hoping Shadowgrounds would be like a bigger budget Alien Shooter and it just isn't.

Ok yeah same thing got to level 4 and damm I am bored with it. Maybe some cheat codes will get my interest. Sigh so much promise. It does support same computer co-op play so maybe that will help.

too short and the story line pissed me off at the end. weapon "customization" sucked. i was expecting scaling leveling my weps but instead had 3 options per wep of random shit(usually 1 was increase damage, 1 was 50% more in clip space, and last was alternate fire). biggest complaint was from the fact that once something died bullets still went into their corpse, aggrivating. and while i understand the need for shadows in this game, at times it taxed my graphics card too much(the end of the mine level specifically).

spoiler: why must it be a cool "Save the world" story that turns into "oh we were building a super bomb and the aliens are really peaceful. seriously fuck.
