Thanks to Eos and his Southperry Independence Day - Year 6 - Steam Game Giveaway, my son got to try this game out.

This is his opinion:

I did have a problem with the graphics. It tried the pixel artstyle but didn't commit to it. In some animations pixels weren't alined or weren't upright, which was odd at best and annoying at worst. All in all, It's a really good game I would recommend it to anyone who hasn't played it before.
