How to play the game and get the achievements
By Sabaku
With how terribly this plays, I thought I would write review giving a play by play of how awful this game is. I've now completed the first mission... Do I dare play more?

Hopefully this guide helps you get through this game... if you are brave enough!

Sprint
Represented by the green ring. It's a painfully slow sprint, but you'll want it when you go in to face enemies.


Health
Represented by the red ring. If your health is full the icon disappears. This slowly regenerates over time or you can use items to recover health.

Ammo
The yellow ring is your current magazine.
The teal ring is your "Power" or total ammunition. This slowly regenerates over time or you can use items to recover power.


Aiming
You will have to compensate for the targeting being mis-aligned. Aim to the top right of the enemy to actually hit them.

Introduction
When you start the game, it introduces the standard WASD controls and tasks you with finding the office.

Continue up and down the stairs and turn right. You will be prompted to unlock the gate and do so by pressing E at the lock. Once you have unlocked the gate, enter the door and talk to Linda. She tasks you with finding out what happened in Sector 0.

Proceed back to the main corridor and turn right. Take the elevator down. Turn left at the intersection and unlock the next gate.

Enter Sector 0.
Sector 0 - Part 1
After you get off the elevator, approach the first lock. You'll get an introduction to the mission and they will explain the weird symbols on the floor.

Ignore the lockers for now and head over to the shop.

Here is what you should purchase:
  • 1 of each recipe (7 in total)
  • 35 Empty Capsules
  • 5 Blue Plasma
  • 5 Green Plasma
  • 5 Light Blue Plasma
  • 5 Magenta Plasma
  • 5 Red Plasma
  • 5 White Plasma
  • 5 Yellow Plasma

Now open your inventory and make 5 of each Plasma key. Congrats on your achievements!

Next step is to unlock the PMG-201 lock and on your way to the next lock empty those containers. Choose the take all option.

Unlock the PBL-201 lock and continue to grab from the new lockers you pass by.

Spend the time to figure out where your shots actually go, and then kill your first enemy!

You'll have to remember your off-target aiming to actually kill these robots.

Kill the next 2 robots and quickly unlock the PLB-201 lock. We're now on to part 2!
Sector 0 - Part 2
You'll have a lock to the left and right. Unlock those and proceed down the ramp. Kill enemies as you continue to unlock all the gates.

I’m pretty sure this is all I can handle for now… I’ll try to sit through the rest of this game but this was tedious and item usage is terrible. Don’t use items while fighting enemies.

Upgrades of your suit and weapon are essential in playing this game - the game folder includes three videos showing how to craft them (see the longest one or GFGI). Money to afford the necessary parts is limited at the start, but the prices stay the same for selling and buying (you can make some money by selling spare receipes for keys). Upgrades of the same kind multiply each other (x2 -> x4 -> x8...), my recommendation is to focus on damage first, then sprint and health regeneration in ratio 50:50. Ammo is next, rate of fire doesn't matter that much and neither does magazine size. Easy achievements once upgraded.

I'm working my way through sector 2, but it's damn awful...i really love it when I die again and again just to get around the freakin' enemies which are admittidly exploitable but the robots take forever to kill anyway...and the thought of killing six motherfucking thousand of even the most basic enemies makes me want to vomit...
