Operius DX

I did try and give this game a chance, but in the end it feels much too RNG dependent. Sometimes you will just get hit from an enemy that spawns behind you that you literally cannot see. Things fly at you so fast in such cramped space and if you get hit once, dead. I do like classic arcade experiences but I don't find this one fun so much as incredibly rage-inducing. I also really dislike the rings mechanic. If my gun is low level and I literally just can't get to a ring because it's surrounded by enemies that take 3 hits to destroy, I have no idea how I'm supposed to get it. And if you're at a high level and miss a ring because it spawned above you good luck because you just lose a gun level and have to stay in the sector even longer. For me, incredibly frustrating, but I see that people do like it, maybe it's just not for me.

Honestly it’s a pretty good time - very arcade and very much inspired by the likes of Tempest which is a classic for a reason. The music is awesome and the pixelated vector graphics are simple but VERY effective. Hard as nails. It will definitely test your reflexes! But I keep coming back to it even if I only play for 10-20 mins at a time - it’s good to have a game that I know I can quickly pick up though.

If you enjoy quick arcade action that's also somewhat brutal then this is the game for you!!!

11/10 needs parry button

Pretty fun arcade shooter.

someone could waste away their life at this game trying so hard to get high scores on the leaderboards

I haven't tried everything offered in the game yet but so far I'm having a lot of fun with it. 5 dollars well spent
