    12 is better than 6 is a frantic, top-down shooter with a lovely pen and paper visual style.

    Dialogue is poor, cliched and uninteresting, so after an hour or so the only thing really pulling you through is the cool black and white, hand-drawn aesthetic, and the excellent soundtrack. The gameplay does a lot to make up for the shortcoming of the overall package, and it’s fun to jump into for quick sessions, but with each death and each mindless conversation with one-dimensional characters, it gets harder to find reasons to keep going.

I loved this game and got several hours of enjoyment out of it. The only problem I had with it was it was a bit short and figuring out which level you wanted to replay was a little confusing. Overall I recommend this game to anyone who loves twin-stick shooters and old west styles!… Full Review »

    This game is great fun. You should play this more for its art style, music and game mechanics than the story since its not that engrossing .This game is great fun. You should play this more for its art style, music and game mechanics than the story since its not that engrossing . If you're interested in a quick shooter game that can get challenging (but not impossible) to pass the time in short bursts this is the game you should get. It does get a little repetitive if your play session is long. But the quick shootouts mixed with a little bit of stealth elements keeps you on edge. It does not dissapoint for the price at all. It's well worth it.… Full Review »

You can blaze through a few levels in a matter of minutes, or put a good hour into the story. It's a very challenging game and some cheap deaths get frustrating, but the quick restart nature doesn't make it feel that way. So if you're all “red-deaded” out and are looking for a fresh take on an old genre, you can't go wrong with this game.… Full Review »
