✦ AI summary

Space Wars is a retro arcade-style shooter that players appreciate for its nostalgic old-school charm and polished design, but nearly all reviewers agree the base price is egregiously high for what amounts to a short, simple game with limited content and heavy enemy reuse. The consensus is clear: only consider purchasing this game when it is heavily discounted, as its actual value falls far short of its asking price.

For £1.29 its not bad. I'm just under an hour in and on level 11 so I don't know how people are getting 4-6 hours out of this game. I am terrible at shumps to, i can't even beat Zero Wing on easy without save stating let alone something like Thunderforce. The first 10 levels are very simplistic and the game reuses a lot of enemies, with the early ones being bizarely passive.. There is no way in hell this game is worth £25 and the reviews are sus as ♥♥♥♥, so based on that (mostly charging £25 for a 1-2 hour flash game esque shump) you get a downvote. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF ITS NOT ON SALE and even then likely not if its on sale for less than 90%

An interesting, short but enjoyable game. You play as a small spaceship that must defend itself against waves of monsters and sometimes bosses. It reminded me of old arcade shooters. It perfectly fulfills its purpose as a small game, aiming to provide a good time, even if only for a few hours, and it succeeds very well. The music is cool without being memorable, the design is quite polished, and there are plenty of enemies. Despite the significant difficulty spike at level 11, which is really difficult to beat, if you want a short classic shooter experience, this is for you. However, buy it when it's on sale, which is often the case. It can be just a few cents, it's not worth 30 euros.

Horrible game. Feels like a Intro to Game Design project.

Very old school 80s arcade. Old enough to remember R-Type? Well it's that. Brilliant.

Retro arcadey vibes are cool but unfortunately the developer is completely delusional to think it's worth the price tag. It's like an old arcade game or free mobile game, fun but not all all that special. If you buy it when it's 95% off when like I did then sure it's ok.

Games like Remember Me, for the memory remix more than the city

Games like Remember Me, picked for the Memory Remix rather than the neon: minds you can break into, a vertical city to climb, and combos you build yourself.

Games like Noita, where the physics is the real enemy

Games like Noita for the two things it really does: spells you assemble yourself, and a simulated world that takes nobody's side. Seven picks, from a slugcat to a dwarf fortress.

Tormented Souls price: a horror game that stopped moving

The Tormented Souls price has not budged in six weeks of our readings. What that means for buying it, and whether the 2025 sequel is the better purchase instead.

Control Resonant sale: the price band broke this week

The first Control Resonant sale since launch landed on 2 November. Our 36 readings before it never left an eight per cent band, which says something about waiting.
