It's a botanical blowout as Jim takes on these robotic foes! This has you reloading your weapon and timing your button press so the arrow stops in the green section of the meter, giving you more shots than you otherwise would have in your active round. Other influences to Gears of War consist of waist-high cover that is conveniently placed around levels which you can hide behind while occasionally popping out of to take potshots at enemies, bulky characters, and yes, even the active reload mechanic from Gears. Even when her life is on the line, she speaks so uncomfortably that it's painful to listen to.Ī robot's explosion is no substitute for a satisfying splattering

Instead, you get very generic characters with zero development, robotic enemies that aren't satisfying to kill, and voice acting that is average, save for the female character who is a special level of awful. IronFall has all of the mechanics of Gears of War save for the clever level design, appealing gameplay and engaging story. To say that VD-Dev wasn't completely inspired by Epic Games' Gears of War when they built IronFall: Invasion would be a massive lie. It's great to support indie efforts like IronFall: Invasion, but sadly, as you'll see with this review, the actual game is but a shadow of something compelling. Unfortunately, VD-Dev's first project for the Nintendo 3DS, IronFall: Invasion, is not one of these, as much as it pains me to say, especially when the team is but a trio or so of people. Whether they're actually fun to play is in the eye of the beholder, but they're usually of entertaining quality. They both develop games that play to the strengths of the hardware they work on while creating some graphically masterful games. VD-Dev is a lot like developer Shin'en Multimedia.
