![]() ![]() In a game that throws waves of enemies at you, a slow-firing “sniper” weapon is completely out of place. You can switch weapons and pickup new ones, though I found it was easier to just stick with my preferred weapons because some are plain stupid. The basics are fine in that you shoot with the right trigger, dash with the left, and move around in your ship that looks like a housefly. Gameplay doesn’t save Curved Space, sadly. It wasn’t possible on this occasion and I wasted a good half an hour trying to force my way through the broken level. I don’t care to know what the ending is, but I do try to make a point of finishing a game’s story when I’m reviewing it. After a couple of hours slogging through a boring campaign that cycles between killing robot space bugs, leeching the energy of the robot space bugs, and fighting some awfully boring bosses, I was pretty annoyed to get to the end and find it doesn’t work. No More Heroes III reviewed on #PS5: bit.The campaign’s story is forgetable, aside from the ending, which I won’t forget because the game glitched on me a dozen times and stopped me from beating the last level.

The game also misses a good hook that helps you to keep playing, with little in the way of an exciting in-game narrative or progression that helps the gameplay along. Because of the intricate level layouts it can be difficult to know where enemies are by the time you get close to clearing a level – which is obviously rarely an issue in arcade games that take place on a 2D plane or even within a single screen. Mastering and combining both is a crucial key to success, especially if you’re able to use your weapons effectively – picking the right one for the right situation rather than just grabbing whatever is near.Ĭurved Space does have its downsides though. These anchor points also drain the enemies of energy that is then handed back to you to help you charge your overdrive again. There’s also a leash, which is a more original mechanic that lets you chain enemies to anchor points in the level, making it easier to hit them. In addition, you can also use an overdrive option that amplifies your offensive capabilities and lets you briefly deal a lot more damage – often also supercharging your weapons for a short period. This one heavily expands on that formula though, which much larger levels, a faster pace and plenty of weapon pickups – from missiles to lasers, all acting differently. How Curved Space plays is somewhat like those ‘hacking’ missions in Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart – essentially a twin stick shooter where the levels let you loop around and go upside down. Luckily, your spaceship handles gravity pretty well, and your arsenal of weapons is also equipped for these conditions. And like in Resogun, you’ll be looping around levels here – although the concept has been taken into overdrive.Īs the title implies, levels in Curved Space are formed by some crazy geometrical shapes – space donuts, loops that put games like Wipeout to shame, and plenty of areas where you’re upside down. They have a clear love for arcade-like games, as the game feels like it’s something that could have come out of a studio like Housemarque at some point in time, pre-Returnal. ![]() We tested it on a PlayStation 5.Ĭurved Space was developed by Only By Midnight, which happens to be a husband and wife team as well. Sci-fi arcade shooter Curved Space is out now for PC, Xbox One, Xbox X|S, PlayStation 4, and PlayStation 5, with a Nintendo Switch version on the way as well. ![]()
