Seriously gun, have you ever heard about periods? --->.<--- Use them to end a sentance instead of going on and on and on with out a full stop, becasue it's annoying and difficult o read.

The GFX in this game are both good and bad. The game is made in old school isometric 2d.
The backgrounds look very nice with a lot of nice details in them, like broken neon lights moving back and forth from the wind and a camp fire burning. 2d backgrounds do tend to be somewhat static but i still found the backgrounds to be cool and interesting to look at, and most importantly, it has the right post apocalypse feel to them. The characters and units though are a different story.
The char themselves look alright but the animation does not. We are talking about extremely choppy and sparse animation that consists of basically 4-5 frames per unit, the game does not even feature different type of animations depending on how the units attack, stand or die. This itself brings the game down a lot because you could do so much cool stuff in 2d like exploding heads and other fun stuff as seen in fallout 2. Shadow vault has none of that.

That's how that paragraf should look like, instead of being ONE HUGE FUCKING SENTANCE.

heh ill try to think of that in the future

Ya, gun will start using periods if you start using spell check. lol.

Just tried the game myself.
Well, I agree with gunhero about it.
Gameplay is weak and graphics are average, but I loved the intro and atmoshere.
Music is, well, wierd.
Voice acting I thought is bad, like for an example this guy who explains the story is sitting with a recorder and you can hear him pushing the button on it, saying some line and pushing the button again. Also, there is no sync between what he says and what is written in story mode.
Anyway, try it for yourself or read gun's FL.
