On paper this is a title that should be a slam dunk for me. A retro-feeling space shooter with elements of Asteroids and others, offering up a variety of modes and ships that change things up and provide for variety and hopefully longevity. While I repeatedly returned to it, hoping the next unlock would help suddenly make it all come together for me it just never quite got there. Weirdly, I think the bones for a great shooter are there, just there are some unusual choices made in implementation that I’m not so much a fan of. Bullet scarcity, no temporary invulnerability when you get hit, movement (in some modes forced) that doesn’t quite feel right, the need to grind to unlock elements you’re hoping will make it work for you but may not… it’s aggravatingly on the edge of working. While I have no doubt some shooter fans looking for something that stands apart and can sort of be custom catered to your own style will enjoy this one in an eShop flush with terrific shooters of all kinds I find this one tough to recommend with enthusiasm.
