Jim Sterling did NOT beat this boss lol. I actually think this fight is cool, there is a lot going on and it's fun to dodge the various patterns. Took a death from the instant kill shockwave on the final form, but I don't care, this is good enough haha. All in all this is NOT a BAD game, I wouldn't even say it's uninspired. But it's definitely rough around the edges and the execution could have been a lot better. Not enough music tracks, lots of level/enemy repetition, and a loot system that makes it really hard to get money, which is used to upgrade various weapons. I would have preferred an arcade mode that has a shorter campaign and set weapon abilities/power. All in all this is a decent twin stick shooter, don't let the angry game nerds who suck at video games tell you it's bad, because it's not. People crying about the overheat mechanic, or not being able to shoot up are so unbelievably retarded lol. If you could shoot up in this game, they'd complain the controls are too complicated. We're talking about two sticks, and the shoulder buttons. You can jump and shoot any enemy above the ground, it's that simple. Not wanting the overheat mechanic is like saying you don't want to use the brakes in a racing game. It's a skill based mechanic that you get used to, if you have a brain that is. It's people like that who make it hard for us to get actual difficult games anymore. I'm sick of the press being wrong almost constantly anymore, they obviously don't pay attention to mechanics or play games at a level where they can grasp the ones that are right in front of them. People see Contra and expect a carbon copy of what they hold dear, it's not always like that. This game definitely has some Contra elements and is actually action packed, but again it's pretty repetitious and not executed particularly well. So yeah that's the official Rogue Corps Qballs review.
