It's a passable game, with one huge flaw – Archero Review

This is a bad game, and I'll explain why. As a game, without the flaw I'm about to explain, it's actually decent. This game has the worst targeting AI I've ever seen, and it's obviously a purposeful flaw by the developers. This could easily be fixed by allowed the player to set the targeting priority to their own preference. But, if they allowed you to do that, then they'd actually have to put more thought into the enemy AI. The enemy AI takes full advantage of your character's programmed stupidity by drawing your fire and exploiting the fact that you'll be literally forced to target different enemies when one is nearly defeated, thus allowing the bullet hell to persist longer. Enemies will trade places to balance out the damage you cause, and will race around the field to draw your fire. The devs made a broken game, and are hiding behind the excuse of "that's the challenge" when confronted.
