    Fun, 7/10, untill you finish main story. After that the balance jumps out of the window and unless you are lucky with RNG or have above average FPS skill, then you'll be constantly obliterated in infinitely scalling missions. And that happens almost immidiately after campaign. Needless to say my "fun" part dropped like a rock in a well.

    Other than that.. As much fun shooting is and weapon-crafting, it could really use some upgrading. Especially part-tiers, how often shop shows up and how many coins you get.    … Expand

    A shooter, where you create your own guns. It pulses with energy but doesn’t fully use its potential. The game often unnecessarily jumps from dynamic combat to a chaotic fight against a dumb but extremely powerful AI. Instead including roguelike elements, the authors should have gone with multiplayer. [Issue#288]

    The action is fast, spectacular and satisfying, but also short (especially for a roguelike), because I finished the campaign in around six hours and was left with a bland challenge mode. [10/2018, p.87]

    While the core mechanics of Mothergunship are awesome (gunplay, shooting, level design, pace in battle) and the performance is great -both technically and visually- the game suffers from its “rng” nature, making the whole “big gun crafting” trivial and tiresome. It should have invested more in actual gameplay with those hard-earned guns and not in the process of creating them each and every single time for every level. Τhe randomness of many gameplay elements fluctuates the derived fun.
