This was insane.
The movement and gunplay is amazing. The music is great and the enemies are all interesting and fun to fight.
However I am not the biggest fan of the element switching mechanic. It is fine when the game throws waves at you that are limited to 1 or 2 elements but as soon as there are multiple enemies with different elements and shields on top of that it becomes incredibly annoying.
I could never remember what element beats what and the effects made it sometimes very difficult to see what enemies are in the room and what elements they had. The only way I was able to make it through the final battle was by constantly pausing and looking at the info graphic on what beats what.
I know it's only 4 elements to remember but in the heat of the action I found it very hard.
But even tho I didn't enjoy the main gimmick, I found the rest of the game to be amazing.
The arenas were really well designed, it was well paced and the sound design and music were on point.
I like that you can store two elements in your weapons so you can plan around waves to take them out more efficiently.
Overall this is a fantastic entry. Great job.
