The concept is a good one.. A shooter with melee combat.. I mean who wouldn't want a game like that.. The problem is neither is done very well.. Forget all of the matchmaking problems because it is a beta.. The core gameplay is just too dull and simple.. The shooting it self kinda feels dull as well.. Then the melee combat is press/mash a button to do combos or a button to do a grab move.. I thought there would be more depth to it but sadly there is not..
I thought it was going to be more like Mortal Kombat mets Gears of War.. The graphics do their job and the movement/cover system feel good.. The animations are not bad either.. I just feel there is not enough there.. no depth.. There needs to be a block and dash/dodge mechanic (i know you can dodge but its slow and clunky) .. There needs to be more melee combat mechanics (like a fighting game). And the shooting needs some work as well...
Anyway that is how I feel about the game..
