A comparison of three two stick shooting games. – Neon Chrome Review

I bought Neo Chrome, Space Marshall, and Xenowerk. So, let me compare these games. Generally they all have there own merits. They are all well polished, all have great graphics, all belong to top games league in App Store. But they all have some problems that make them not worth five stars. Neo Chrome and Xenowerk are both very repetitive after while, especially Xenowerk, every map is almost the same. Neo Chrome is little better, but not too much. For me, the biggest trouble is they both provide only few enemy types. There are only few robots and human in NC, and five or six type of aliens in XW. That is very disappointing. No matter how great the graphics are, how fancy those guns are, shooting same enemies again and again soon becomes very boring. Plus the random created but similar maps, make them even more boring. And in NC, the enemies’ AI is too low, most time it feels like you are shooting sitting ducks. XW’s enemies are much better. They are very aggressive. But still with only handful types, aggression couldn’t save the game. SM has, however, a clear storyline. It is less repetitive, less boring. But the trouble is the hero walks like 80-year-old man. The moment I saw that, I’ve already lost interest. It boasts strategies, but I fail to see any. It is just an old man tries to shoot other old men. In the end, I couldn’t finish any of these three games. But I’m not gonna say they are not worth the money. Only like most games in App Store, these games are still way behind those great PC games.
