Story

55 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Playing in co-op generally enhances the game across the board; tasks can be divided, threats handled more efficiently, and base-building becomes more engaging.

30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics impress with a good level of detail even though they are a Low-Poly project.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Even with the paper-craft visuals the game does have some nice atmosphere and music, but where a nice soundtrack and atmosphere can help a good game, it makes a drastically mediocre game just sad.
