- Those who prefer using one fixed weapon may bounce off the need to juggle different shot types.
- Players looking for realistic visuals may not suit the 4-tone pixel-art presentation.
- Those seeking a multiplayer shooter may not find the listed structure suitable.
Our take on Spacewing War
The bounce point arrives when weapon switching becomes part of solving stage obstacles. Players expecting one fixed blaster may hit a wall at encounters that call for different shot types, especially when facing the game's massive bosses.
