I run across new game trailers and videos somewhat often but a lot of them don't seem to warrant a brand new thread for a small game if there won't be much discussion on it.
I figured we could start this thread to post them all in similar to the Random YouTube and NSFW funny pic threads and then at least they get some visibility en masse.

You betcha!
I'm constantly dry on ammo in it, and many of the AI enemies are not terribly interesting (they just beeline directly towards you; I prefer more variety in enemy attacks). It has an interesting skills tree but we couldn't get far enough in the Survival Alpha to really experience it. The drone is interesting but I found some of its abilities non-intuitive and sometimes just confounding to understand how to use. That worries me from the standpoint that imho The Red Solstice had an awfully high barrier for new players on how to best play it.
I haven't created a thread on it because I don't know how much there'll be to talk about and as a PC-only game I don't expect there'd be that much interest here in chatting about it, or at least not as much as there would be if it were a multi-platform title. Hopefully the SP campaign will be more interesting and be more intuitive.
I'm hoping that they balance a lot of things in the Survival mode based off the alpha feedback. There is a lot of time in a month to at least tweak and tune things like ammo. It's a new mode compared to the campaign, so I guess there may be some learning there for them.
To me the biggest issue with The Red Solstice was more that it looked like a twin-stick shooter but didn't play like one at all. Here they've changed it to control as I would expect, so hopefully it can get a bigger audience.

Oh, and I guess they have a Kickstatrer that just launched at the same time now, too (although it seems to be basically acting as a closed beta buy-in with a very low goal and many tiers of f2p rewards...):
