When I first saw Spacelords my initial thoughts were, "Meh, another four person co-op game with some pvp elements." But, I like co-op games and I liked the art style, so I gave it a whirl.

Fantastic graphical fidelity and art design, off-the-wall character roster and interesting premise backed by fluid animation, controls and really engaging and fun cover shooter mechanics.

There is a solid foundation for an actual great game: the gameplay loop is refined, the visuals are great and stylish, the characters and their voice acting are 10/10.
