Bright Memory

[BFG10K]

Japanese schoolgirl meets Bulletstorm, made by one guy. In addition to guns you have various powers (sword, push, grapple) on cooldown, so the game encourages combos. Kills get XP which allow upgrades.

Episode 1 is out of early access and is about 30 mins of game time. It's currently on special and if you buy it, you get the full game free when it's released. Only bad thing is you can't currently rebind keys.

I found it okay overall and the cheap price is probably a good deal when the full game comes out. Also the Unreal 4 engine graphics are really good.

One guy made that?! That looks awesome (at least it looks like my kind of fun).

I normally avoid early access, but I might have to give this one some consideration.

More evidence the massive studio system is not always gonna be the best way to do things.
