Battle for Ercaton: Robot Uprising - the worst FPS I’ve played in 2026… so far (Gameplay)

Описание: The game opens with an endless monologue by your hero, Liam. Despite the very Western name, he speaks Russian*, and the dialogue is so aggressively cheesy that I stopped reading it by the fourth line. You crash on the planet Ercaton, another ship crashes nearby, and then you find a space pager that triggers an even worse conversation with some girl. If you somehow survive that—congrats, you’ve unlocked the gameplay.

In front of you, in the snow, lies a laser rifle. You pick it up and immediately die, because the weapon does almost no damage and reloads slower than continental drift. On your second attempt, you kill the first enemy—a floating ball—only to be swarmed by two more balls and something pretending to be a mecha. They tank your shots, never miss, and move faster than you, because balance is apparently optional.

After roughly ten deaths, you finally clear the first fight and unlock a second weapon: a sniper rifle. Unfortunately, it hits like a wet paper towel and needs four to five business days to reload after every shot. Also, it’s called a sniper rifle, but there’s no scope. At all.

Then comes wave two. Another ten deaths. Another pointless dialogue. Then wave three—now featuring flying balls, mechas, and two discount AT-ST walkers straight out of Star Wars. You die. A lot. And at that point, uninstalling the game becomes the most satisfying mechanic it offers.

Judging by the Steam reviews, I’m clearly not alone. So do yourself a favor: don’t waste your time on this one.

*It's Ukrainian, not Russian - my bad
