Cargo King is a game with one simple mechanic and almost no flourish. While developers Happymagenta seem to have put some effort into making the art look clean and the gameplay smooth, they neglected to make the game anything more than a one-trick pony.

Not many games offer such a wide array of choice and customization as Loadout. There are so many different parts you can put on the weapons and so many different ways you can style the weapons and they all have a substantial...
