Review:
At first this game feels like low quality shlock. It is!
But it's GOOD low quality schlock.
The Dark Souls of gacha and surprise tech tree mechanics will have you flipping a table when an expensive "quest" or "upgrade" turns out to gimp you harder than a shotgun blast to the kneecaps, but you'll crawl through the pain until you find a doctor to strap that shotgun into your evacuated joint.
Then you'll really hit your stride a few hours later in New Game Plus, when you remember that the shotgun exists and make preparations to smash through the trap instead of play by its crippling rules.
4/5
