I never liked that game.
Racist.
nah, but it is an indie game. Its pretty obvious its just some huge metal slug fans making a game.
Holding them over the fire makes as much sense as having a serious discussion about how much the band covering acdc songs suck. Grading them as hard as you would a new weezer album.
But seriously though—is "Kraut Buster" really a good name to go with? Or is "kraut" not the negative ethnic word that I'm thinking it is?
The developers are German.
It is hard to consider them indie when they charge you $400+ to play their game. They are an okay developer, but they purposely cater to the (stupid) NeoGeo fans so they can charge a ridiculous amount. Btw, I have no idea how much it is to do a small production run of MVS/AES cartridges these days.
It's probably not cheap, but $400 is more of a "what the market is willing to bear" number than a reflection of costs. That's my guess.
How many units do you think they'll sell, a thousand if that? These aren't people making a shitty single screen puzzle game for IOS. Regardless of quality, obviously a lot of man hours are being put into the game. A bunch of dorks want to make neo geo games and figured out how to do so profitably. More power to them.
The video has now been made private. NGDEV has said they will be tweaking the game due to feedback. While they're not totally retooling it, there will be some changes such as the jumping physics.
More crazy things like robots, mutants, & supernatural enemies are planned but NGDEV says that it will still hold mostly to the 1930's theme. I'm not sure they should go adding silly stuff like Metal Slug 2 and 3 did. Maybe it'd be even better if they decided to follow Gun Force 2, which has a grittier feel than the MS series even though it shares some similar elements.
