Heavy Fire

Heavy Fire is a series of rail shooter games created by Teyon. The series includes games, such as Heavy Fire: Special Operations, Heavy Fire: Black Arms, Heavy Fire: Afghanistan, Heavy Fire: Shattered Spear, and Heavy Fire: Red Shadow.

Why This Franchise Sucks

 * 1) The main problem is how every game is virtually the same from gameplay to setting.
 * 2) There is no real story you just play as some random Marine that goes to the Middle East to fight terrorists. The only exception is Red Shadow where you fight North Koreans.
 * 3) There are no actual characters with the main character being a one-note Marine with a generic monologue of how he joined the Marines to fight terrorists and serve his country
 * 4) The voice acting is awful and incredibly dull as each actor sounds bored most of the time. Sometimes they don't even sound American but instead like someone trying to put on an American accent.
 * 5) Each game is pathetically easy as all the enemies can be killed in one shot and they mostly shoot around you until an exclamation point comes up over their heads, which is when they're about to hit you. However, every now and again the difficulty will spike mainly due to artificial difficulty.
 * 6) The game features QTEs, but they're pointless since your character does the action anyways. Their only purpose is to get extra points, which is also pointless. Not even the QTEs in Rambo: The Video Game, another game by the same devs, are that pointless, as there are consequences for failing one (specifically your character getting killed off)!
 * 7) Each game has an experience bar, however, you don't gain XP by doing well in the game. Instead, you level up through gaining achievements.
 * 8) Each game is incredibly short, clocking in at about an hour to an hour and a half. There is also no replay value since there are no collectibles or unlockables.
 * 9) The AI is practically all braindead since they mostly stand out in the open for you to shoot them.
 * 10) Each game looks very cheap and outdated with Afghanistan and Shattered Spear looking like an early PlayStation 2 game, which is especially egregious since both came out in the late 7th gen.
 * 11) All the gameplay is the most basic you can get in a rail shooter since you just shoot bad guys and occasionally use a turret or use vehicles. There are upgrades, but the only thing you get in turns of upgrades is the amount of ammo you get, more health, more grenades, and get more powerful guns. It's even worse in Red Shadow since you're on a turret and you do nothing else.
 * 12) Terrible sound effects that makes the guns themselves sound and feel weak.
 * 13) Red Shadow is arguably the laziest game of them all since you don't drive a tank or helicopter, there are no QTEs, all you do is sit on a turret the entire game shooting North Koreans. That's it.

Reception
Each game has received mostly negative reviews. Nintendo Life gave for Black Arms a 3/10, claiming while it makes a good first impression it remains overall a sub-par rail shooter that does not offer anything more than an attractive price, whilst "the few tweaks that help elevate the game ever-so-slightly above its predecessor, they're not near enough: the gameplay is still as basic as the genre will tolerate and really needs more fundamental changes in order to justify its existence." The Official Xbox Magazine gave Shattered Spear a 25/100 saying, "It's as maddening and absurdly designed as it sounds, and even the simple local co-op play — which allows four reticles onscreen at once — isn't enough to make Heavy Fire appealing."
