Seems like they should add the ability to hire RNG characters for the singleplayer but that are played by other players. And the loot they take home goes to their campaign. I really don't like the separation of the singleplayer and multiplayer aspects and it could've benefited quite substantially from something like that. Maybe even a Dark Souls style invasion system where suddenly your coop heist turns into a PVP heist with some of the cops becoming player controlled (with an option to turn that off for a reduction in payout?)

Sonic Heroes famously only had 19 people working on it. Stardew Valley (and a million other amazing indies) was essentially one guy! 70 easily puts you into the AAA game territory, and AAA results should be expected.

Looks like this is one of those games that you can't honestly call good but is more entertaining than a lot of bigger games

[@fastony9659]

A territory conquering Payday with management mechanics + actually decent graphics sounds like a fantastic idea that genuinly intrigues me. Just wish it could've had a higher budget to flesh it all out instead of being half baked. That's what's making it difficult for me to get it or not.

[@sythenx3928]

At first I thought the heists and gameplay seemed really similar to payday 2, then by the end I realized it’s just payday 2 but with quality of life improvements. The problem with the game is it doesn’t have 2 things that made it great, variety in play style as well kickass music.

Nice to see that we now moved on to the 90's culture, I always prefered the 90's culture than the 80's culture as I grew up in the 90's as a teenager.

[@RayneOfSalt]

eh, as a child of the 80s and teen of the 90s... the 90s sucked and the 80s were mildly better - at least as far as pop culture goes.

[@hanchiman]

@@RayneOfSalt well, yeah 90's was a bit more "darker" in terms of world situation, maybe due to the economy, at least here in Europe Sweden. It was recession at that time period and not to mention Yugoslavian civil war was pretty brutal. However as I mentioned, Sweden didn't really truly experienced much of 1980's culture were we have Arcades or cartoons. We only had cable TV at the end of 1980's and at most we only had Nintendo and Sega. I liked the 90's popculture due to Rap Music like 2Pac and grunge music lie Nirvana. Also at this time period anime was starting to be recognize and there was alot of experimental "X-treme Culture" cartoons like Beavis and Butthead. Not to mention this was videogame golden age where we saw how videogames evolved in this 10 years between 1990 to 1999

[@RayneOfSalt]

@@hanchiman the 90s is also when counter-culture of the 80s like rap and metal were corporatised, sanitised and mass-marketed. It's been a steady decline since then. Every revolutionary thing that popped up was immediately boxed up with a shiny logo and sold en masse.

[@hanchiman]

@@RayneOfSalt I think 50cent was the beginning of commercialized rap. Anyways if we go back to topic like videogames, poetically it the end of the 90's when FPS games starting to find their footing where we see alot of improvement of enemy AI and how an FPS games progress storyline wise. Like Half Life that came in 1998

[@hanchiman]

@@Nonesovile96 Also when MTV still have music videos and once in a while show adult cartoons like Liquid Television where my first exposure to Beavis and Butthead came from like Frogbaseball. Also another was the short anime Running Man with Kawajiri (from Ninja Scroll fame)

Isn't this a one to one Payday clone? Seems a bit more polished and with way better gunplay. I really want to like Payday, I love the concept but Payday's gunplay sucks ass..feels like i'm shooting peas and the damn bodies piling up to the point were you can't see shit is so annoying.

[@Chronospherics]

I actually like the look of this. I think if they had figured out a multiplayer metagame loop and sorted some of the balance issues with the campaign it could be really fun. Maybe instead of making it a 20 hour campaign they could have made it much shorter, tighter and polished and ditched a lot of the repetition and then focused on the multiplayer. Seems like a decent production with a good budget it's just they had their focus in the wrong places.

[@fallout0624]

It looks like they might have had a solid plan but they couldn't flesh it out completely. (Ditching some stuff would have probably helped the game overall)

[@OmniscientSloth]

This reminds me of one of those early 2000’s games I would’ve loved as a 10-13 year old 😂 They just don’t make ‘em like this anymore 😂

This actually looks like great fun. The dated celebrity parts are appealing to someone like me who finds Present Day™ media and culture to be vomitous. Definitely has a lot of energy and passion put into it, and overambition is one of the best reasons a game can miss the mark.

Majority of reviewers now: This game sucks A few years later, same reviewers: Let us take a look back at this hidden gem!

[@LyonPercival]

Underrated. This game is $30, yet it actually is more enjoyable than some more expensive games double its price. The devs don’t have any branding to their name… this is purely a passion project in making a B-Movie fun game, doesn’t take it seriously. Its flaws are more about inexperience and polishing in game development than laziness, incompetence, or money-milking design. (Unlike other many FPS priced at $60).

[@Hailtothebreak]

Considering the title of that game, I was expecting much worst.
