Boring

It's a on the rails shooter which I love to a large degree. Plus the story is crapy and the game loves the concept of pay to win.
Horrible

One of the worst games I've ever played. You can't even MOVE! I mean, what is an fps if you can't MOVE where you want to? I only rated it one star because I can't rate it zero.
Pay to play is the biggest issue

The high point of this game is the storyline. Between the graphic novel and the game itself, I found myself consistently involved with the characters. The dialogue is particularly snappy in the graphic novel. The voice acting is terrific for everyone, but especially for Captain Owens and Charlie Campbell. “What is that!” the first time he sees a colossus. “They don’t want me there, so of course I’m going in!” on another scene. The controls modified for mobile reminds me of The Drowning, except more complicated — many ways good, but it takes some getting used to re: shield/target, switching targets, reloading, etc.. The real issue is pay to play. I spent $10 on the starter pack, because I feel like as much as I’ve put into this game, the developers deserve it…but I haven’t used any *catalyst* and I’m going to try not to use any. I resent having to pay to play a game. I would prefer a pro version after the first few episodes for a premium price, and then maybe some kind of minimum pay to play for so called multiplayer, but waiting for a timer to countdown to play again ruins the momentum. I’ll stop playing at some point just because of that, until more storyline comes out. It’s a bummer this has become the standard way to generate revenue. Thank goodness for developers who charge a premium for a premium game without the pay to play. I’ll give it 3 stars because of it. Edit: As an FYI, I have played through the campaign, the Midnight Star graphic novel, I've competed in dozens of challenges and won many of them. With all this, I can afford one fully upgraded weapon, and one fully upgraded shield. To fight any of the more advanced enemies, anything less than fully upgraded is relatively useless. It will cost right at $50 to fully upgrade anything else. It's more than a decent game, but the economics with its IAP are completely over the top.

It is point and click for the touch screen, boring, typical of any other first person shooter...the only difference is that that they spent less time to make it so that it wasn't so detected...even if they did do that, it wouldn't measure up to nova or dues ex or, or or...
Outstanding gameplay

I like it so far. I'm normally not into rail shooters but I'm actually having fun with this one. Decent controls, interesting weapons and a nice story. The only thing I dislike is the freemium elements with timers and stuff. Makes me unhappy to wait hours for a rifle to upgrade. However, unlike most freemiums, I haven't hit a pay-wall difficulty spike in doing the campaign twice (normal and intense difficulties). In short, cool game. Minus two stars for freemium elements. Also this game is a battery killer on my iPhone 5s.
