Priority fixes

  1. [uniqueness_polish] Introduce a distinctive visual hook—such as a signature character silhouette, unique uniform detail, or iconic squad formation pattern—that communicates Running with Rifles' indie tactical identity rather than generic military shooter aesthetic.
  2. [brand_consistency] Establish a memorable color accent or lighting signature (beyond generic warm glow) that creates visual recognition and ties to the game's core identity across all marketing assets.
  3. [genre_clarity] Add subtle UI or environmental elements (objective markers, tactical overlay hints, or terrain features) that hint at the open-world RPG elements and squad tactics beyond standard squad shooter tropes.

Store copy priority fixes

  1. [hook_strength] Rewrite the short description to lead with a player outcome or emotional truth: 'You are one soldier among thousands in an open-world war—but your choices define the outcome' or similar, rather than merely stating the role.
  2. [uniqueness] Expand the emergent AI bullet point with a concrete example of how player action and AI clash (e.g., 'Watch enemy squads adapt to your tactics, flank your positions, and learn from your mistakes').
  3. [tone_match] Remove or reframe casual language ('speech bubbles!', 'lone wolf you always aspired to be') to maintain consistency with the tactical, grounded military tone established in the campaign description.
  4. [audience_targeting] Add one explicit line in the opening or early detailed section signalling the core audience (e.g., 'For players who love emergent, unscripted gameplay and tactical squad command' or 'Solo and co-op campaigns for up to 40 players online').
