The dynamic of having to take down enough of your assailants to free up humans for you to save is incessant, keeping you on an 'attack, rescue, defend, attack' loop as dizzying as the circular environment. It's also, quite frankly, insanely addictive, as only the purest of gaming ideas can be – we can't wait to take this to the online boards. Yet it has a unique feel, the pulsating soundtrack almost reflecting the action like a frantic round of Lumines. Article continues after the video.Īppearing initially like a retro side-scroller in the Gradius mould, Resogun's twin-stick control makes it more reminiscent of Housemarque's own sci-fi shooter, while the pit-stop civilian rescues are almost Chopper-esque. Resogun wears its gaming tropes on its sleeve proudly. Once you've made your way through the 'phases' of each stage, you're into boss territory, where a suitably oversized ship turns up for you to navigate around and blast the hell out of its susceptible flashy bits. You must take down Sentients aplenty, growing ever more complex and organised, while finding time to pop across town to pick up a neon-green stick man every so often, when your laser-beam labour is suitably rewarded.
BEST SHIP FOR RESOGUN SERIES
In a series of sprawling, ominous-looking futuristic metropolis where it appears to be forever raining and soundtracked by a club remix of the Terminator score, you're taking the fight to a variety of Matrix-esque, flying alien-robot hybrids. Low on exposition, Resogun's insistent rally call of "Save the last humans" kicks off every round of carnage.
With the futuristic visual language of a WipEout mixed with a core mechanic as easy to pick up as Space Invaders (well, ish), you can imagine this deliciously old-school high-score attack taking over a living room of all ages.
BEST SHIP FOR RESOGUN PS3
Fast, lean and fantastic looking, Resogun is Finnish developer Housemarque's second go at creating a defining PlayStation twin-stick shooter, its excellent Super Stardust Delta having lit up both PS3 and PS Vita with its intergalactic gunfire.Īs Sony is embracing indies even tighter for the PS4, almost as a point of differentiation over Xbox One, it's a fitting title to celebrate the next-gen console joining the PS+ online club, too, as its free while you subscribe.
