Hard disagree because of the bait and switch with both the graphics and gameplay of the game. All people wanted was a reskinned mega man game which is what they billed this as in the kickstarter all those years ago. Then they pivoted to ugly 3d models instead of sprites, and failed to live up to gameplay expectations.

If a game is terrible in terms of fulfilling what it advertised itself to be, IMO that makes it a terrible game.

I think that’s kind of an odd perspective because many (if not most) people will discover a game without knowing any details about how it came to be and what was—and wasn’t—promised.

The 3D was what really threw me off. I was a day one backer and was loving all the artwork. Once the 3D hit, it kind of soured me on the project. I still ended up backing it, but I never finished the game.
