Twin stick shooter fun!

Geometry Wars it is not, but that was a special time where the stars aligned and everyone was looking for something to play. What I would compare it to is Mutant Storm Reloaded. Both games are level based shooters, with power ups if you will. Tachyon actually has some light RPG elements where you earn different power up slots and you can swap our your loadouts between runs. I had a really good evening with this game and for only $10 I recommend it to anyone that likes twin stick shooters.

  • I have to admit, I only played this game because I knew it was quick points. That means I had no expectations going in, so they were neither met nor was I disappointed (I mean I went in for the point, I got the points).

  • I actually really liked this game. Not enough to rate it higher than it should be, but I enjoyed the art style and traversal.

  • I usually rant about these 'artsy' experiences, however, this game actually delivers a unique experience. It is a really short game, but I honestly can't think of another game with similar mechanics. You play a young blind girl and the world around you is drawn in based on sound alone. So as you navigate around the world (the story is you chasing down a stray cat you...

  • You know what I hate? Crap games we all are supposed to pretend we like because they are artsy and has a deep message. I watched an interview with one of the developers talking about the control scheme and how it's "..like tying your shoes, both hands work in concert without you having to concentrate on it. That's the feeling we were trying to create." No. No. No. The...

  • I know this game is very very highly rated, and even I'm giving it a four outta of five stars. It's very well made, and has some great touches like replaying levels in collectible mode that others in the genre should copy. However, this was not for me, and I'm going to tell you why, but there will be spoilers so if you don't want to risk it, move on. ...
