OK, so it’s nowhere near as bad as Tron, but it’s still not great. I’m not a big fan of shooters like this anyway, so that might have something to do with my dislike of it. However, there are still issues.
For example, your character is far too big on the screen, which makes the game difficult to play – not least because the screen gets cluttered very quickly with the also-too-big baddies. Then there’s the baddies that just leap onto the screen without warning as to where they’re going to appear, making avoidance either impossible, or a test of memory.
And then there’s an issue which is probably my fault. I thought the pink triangles were bullets, so spent my time avoiding them, which proved to be impossible. Then I realised you had to collect them. Pff.
Oh, and what’s the point of shooting out your metal familiar on a chain? It doesn’t seem to do very much.
