About Redux: Dark Matters
Redux: Dark Matters is an ultra hot classic shmup and definitely a must have for every shmup fan. Made for Gaming Review Jan 2015: Redux: Dark Matters is an unforgiving arcade shooter which demands dedication from the player - 7 out 10 Released successfully at the beginning of 2014 as a brandnew Dreamcast game in limited edition - the game is available as a beautiful super sharp 16:9/720p and 1080p full HD PC version on Steam for worldwide distribution!
Redux: Dark Matters is a fast-paced space shooting game with fresh scoring elements and some review called the game a bastard-hard shooter. However, you have to master 7 stages with different ambiance which is indeed anything but easy - not yet spoken of the boss encounters. Always watch out since each and every thing is loaded with whatever to discover. Your ship is armed with rapid fire, sub-weapons, rockets and more - in other words with all you need to make it through - it depends on you!
The story takes place in the year 2067, when the “Space Force” organisation was exploring the galaxy for new strong and powerful materials to produce more powerful battle ships they discovered a space mine on a strange asteroid on the enemy territories. The scientists now began to analyze the material and concluded they had found the one material to build the best space ship ever.
One year later, the prototype was finished and the test results show unmatched battle power. However, the material seemed to be unstable and the use of the assembled ship was highly risky but since the Evil threat, was close to destroy the whole universe, the organisation was forced to let the ship fly.
NOW, go to experience the highlights of the game - pilot your space ship, blast off the mechanized servants of evil and save the world!

[h1] You can absorb enemy bullets and have some kind of drone before your ship which acts like a shield of some sort but generally the gameplay is mediocre at best. [/h1]24 found this helpful
interesting title that has come around on me in the lead up to the new R Type release.3 found this helpful
This is a game that draws heavy inspiration from R-Type and Pulstar but doesn't really do much to draw people in. There's no stage select, only start game and options choices. There's two ships, one of which will make the game really easy and a 2nd ship which might give some people a run for their money since it lacks a shield. It's a pretty straightforward point collecting shmup which isn't really all that challenging for veterans. Maybe a pickup on sale for those that aren't veterans but there's only so little mileage possible to get out of this game.1 found this helpful
I have to say I'm somewhat biased because I generally don't like bullethell/shmups that much and would only play them if I got them for free or they were inside some game bundle. That said, I did play my share of Shoot ' em ups and in my opinion this is not a very good one. Since all the games are so similar you do have to come up with something special and I do not see anything great in this game, graphic-wise or gameplay-wise. Perhaps there is a small group of people who would enjoy Redux:Dark Matters but I would not recommend it.1 found this helpful
Cluttered and zoomed in with limited continues.
On this 5 star rating scale; ★★★★★ Loved it / Recommended ★★★★☆ Liked it / Recommended ★★★☆☆ It was OK / Not recommended ★★☆☆☆ Disliked it / Not recommended ★☆☆☆☆ Hated it / Not recommended It was a ★★★☆☆ for me. Redux: Dark Matters is an old school inspired shoot 'em up. It's the second revision of a game called Dux. At first, I didn't like it that much. Though, the more I played, the more I started to appreciate the things this game does do well. There are 7 stages to this game, 1 loop only. So just under half an hour for a run. For a game that is in its third version, there are few ways to play the game: a 'normal' mode and a 'veteran' mode. There is a big difference to how the modes play, because of the unique spacecraft used in each mode. 'Normal' is kind of easy (except for the difficulty spike that is the last level). See, the spaceship used in this mode can use various power ups: regular power ups to upgrade your forward firing gun; missiles that can fire both vertically or horizontally; and force bits that shield your ship from enemy bullets. The ship is capable of a charged shot as well, that passes through obstacles. In addition, this ship has a 'Soak' ability that …
