You don't understand man, its incredibly important that they spend money accusing you supporting Nazi's! If they didn't spend money on it, how would anyone know that they were right and that you are in fact, a Nazi supporter.

Nope. I guess they were embarrassed on their fellow SJWs behalf and so decided to change it to be more accurate. It's offensively bland now.

It looks pretty unique as it is. The market isn't saturated with top down isometric shooters.
Are you sure about that? It seems like someone is farting out another top down zombie shooting game every time I look on Steam. The place is lousy with them. (I haven't played any of them either.)

Because a call out implies you ever want to hear from them again, or even dumber, actually want to engage them in an argument over whatever point they have that you think is so stupid. And if you're bad at arguing, you might end up looking like the idiot rear end in a top hat.

With the avatar though, as long as you don't break rules there's zero accountability.

The thing is, I was looking at videos of the game and other than the fact that it's a mass-murder simulator the animations seem to be really well done. Just seems like a smooth running game.

Which is unfortunate that they made it about mass-shootings at a time where you really shouldn't be making mass-shooting simulators??? Idk just seems like people are extra paranoid about this poo poo nowadays.

I get that these guys are trying to make social commentary, but the way they went about doing it is just..dumb. it sucks, because they seem like talented developers. Why couldn't they just make it a fuckin alien shooting simulator or something.

Because then it wouldn't get so much controversy press and nobody would buy it I guess. No publicity is bad publicity...

I hope a good game is eventually made that actually does this. I loved that style.

Also this was the number 1 steam green light game of all time based on number of votes. It will be forgotten soon.

Man, I'd heard about this game but I didn't actually look up any videos to see it in action. The soundtrack sounds like something out of Hotline Miami, I'd bet that games like Franko were probably a big inspiration to Cactus when designing the game. Probably inspired his indie solo projects too, they all sort of have that handdrawn, crude and unfinished aesthetic to them with a lot of swearing, violence or just plain weirdness.
