Players praise this modern take on Asteroids for its addictive arcade gameplay, variety of ship classes with distinct playstyles, and nostalgic presentation that feels both simple and challenging. The quick reloads, controller support, and catchy soundtrack contribute to its appeal as a casual time-sink for score-chasing. Some minor complaints include occasional glitches with larger asteroids and unclear story progression, though these don't significantly detract from the overall experience.
Just discovered this game, it is super addictive, simple and a fun take on the old astroids game but with a modern spin... spent a while trying to unlock the first ship and the fact there are different classes and plays tyles of ships to choose from I rate this game stunning!2 found this helpful
Really love draining a couple hours into this game at a time and getting lost in space, literally. Pretty simple arcade shooter but also very challenging at the same time. Some of the larger tiered asteroids seem to glitch out for me every other game, but nothing too troubling - has never lead to a loss, and I'm sure these things will get solved out as Deathbed makes their touches. Overall great arcade shooter that is worth sinking time into just to beat your own high score.2 found this helpful
I enjoy this game. The level of detail to give it nostalgic feel is great. It's additive. It works on both keyboard and controller. It's intuitive mainly. Reloading is quick, which is useful if you die a lot - not that I do, but other people might ;). On a similar note I'm yet to find out in the story line progresses from the initial situation. Until I got the TR8TR badge I didn't know that I was shooting my comrade - whoops. So, it really does feel like a nostalgia game because many a time I've been not sure of the plot or the final goal but does that really matter when you're enjoying yourself shooting at space debris?!?2 found this helpful
Good fun, great challenge, something casual that fills spare time easily. There are four types of ship, each with a good unique feel. Soundtrack is catchy and the game as a whole has a huge throwback to the arcade genre. Highest score for myself so far is 49k. Could be good to see some small expansions adding more maps and ships, etc. Or maybe even a sequel.2 found this helpful
