For me, it is definitely a buying recommendation!

The obvious things first: It's a fast TD Shooter, which, of course, is best played as a Coop. I could not try Deathmatch yet, because I had not found a game.

The game is a blast. I rarely had so much fun. A good game takes place mainly in the head, and I like the idea of jumping through oversized levels as a toy soldier and killing other toys.
The developers have done everything to keep the setting as harmonious as possible and very obviously put a lot of heart and soul into the details. Easter Eggs everywhere. From movie posters from the nineties to funny lyrics on shampoo bottles or a motorbike racetrack with a proper shape called Pen Island. Somewhere on the shelf is a box with a fantasy castle reminiscent of Castle Grayskull by Masters of the Universe. I don't know all the enemies yet, but just that a bomber is dropping these old toy soldiers? The firecracker.
The level design is reminiscent of Sin from Ritual Entertainment with the famous Living Room level, sometimes you miss a Grappling Hook, but then maybe the collectibles are hidden all over the standards would be too easy to reach.

The potential that the primary theme offers, and to a large extent, is already there, allows in theory a ton of possibilities of what could be implemented. In principle, everything that the toy industry has to offer. I am also thinking of exosuits, which the soldiers could then control, or even airplanes. You could create a Race'N Shoot mode. I also remember a game from the nineties that made toy cars drive through houses.
