    Once you get used to the controls, it gives incomparable experience; difficulty becomes not as insane as seemed on the first sight.
    It's a unique game, even with it's own flaws. There's nothing else that will give you same experience, that will make you keep moving the mouse in circular motion even after you exit the game.

    The game has its flaws, that's sure. It can be frustratingly difficult, use cheap tricks to enrage the player and has a fistful of bugs. Still the gameplay is quite new and original, the controls aren't stiff and are quite genuine and the story, even it is hard to figure it in first, is deep and huge, big enough to hold many sequels.

    A challenging, exciting experience. Out of all the humble bundle games, this was by far the best. Its hard to get used to and there are a few bugs, nothing game breaking though. I don't understand all these horrible reviews, this game was great.

    Fun once you get the hang of it!

    I think this game suffers from bad reviews because it is hard. Admittedly I had an advantage, I remember this game being up as a flash game a very, very long time ago and so had an idea of how to play already, but once you learn how to play and accept that it's challenging - not all games are hilariously easy - it is a very entertaining, unique, game.

    This game is fantastic. You have to ignore the negative reviews because this is the best game I have played in a long long time.

You have to ignore the negative reviews because this is the best game I have played in a long long time. While the concept of magical steampunk helicopters slamming rocks into each other sounds like the dumbest idea ever, I was amazed at just how much fun I was having. The graphics are beautiful, especially for an indie game, with an almost fully destructible environment, surprisingly good physics, and neat music. While many criticize the plot as trying to be more than it is, I think it's perfect. It's interesting enough that I wanted to pay attention to it, but not so major that it disrupts the game. The addition of magical gems you can add to your weapons adds a fun side mission where you beat the snot out of worms and it is just wonderful.

    My one and only criticism of the game is that it's not nice to new players. When I first started playing, the game's default mouse sensitivity was way too low. Then I was having trouble with the harder levels. The inventory management system is confusing if you're not used to it. But once I got the hang of the game it was unbelievably fun!

    In conclusion: Best indie game I've ever played. Buy it, play it, pay close attention to the tutorial, die, pay closer attention to the tutorial, and enjoy the most entertaining physics-based combat game you will ever play.    … Expand

    **** phenomenal game, but it's good for the same reason dark souls is good, it will chew you up and spit you out, all the complaints about the difficulty are real. There is a steep learning curve and you will want to tear your fingers off but figuring out the system and cleaving people in two with a fancy axe is incredibly rewarding.
