Sektori

Sektori is an obvious homage to geometry wars. Sometimes the overemphasis on visual clutter leads to cheap deaths.

Overall I'd give this a 7.5/10 and a reluctant thumbs up. - this would almost certainly be a neutral rating if steam had such a thing. So read this review as if you're reading a neutral rating of a product. First off, soundtrack is a absolutely banging, it does get repetitive after a while due to, I can only assume 2 or 3 tracks being on a loop. but overall, I love the high energy music and it fits a game like this extremely well. - it would have been nice if there was a lot more music of the same genre. instead of a small number of tunes being on repeat. UI and UX are clean, professional and smooth. no issues there. - it's all been put together quite well. One thing i'd add though as an accessibility option would have been to turn down all the flashing on screen during gameplay because it gets ridiculously busy and it does get fairly difficult to see what's going on. - this happens in alot of games I play and it does get frustrating when devs just think more is better. No, more is NOT better, I'm not epileptic but all the flashing does get quite irritating after a while. So, don't buy this game as Christmas present for your epileptic mate, cause they will have a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fit when they see it. Love the graphics, brilliant. Gameplay - well the dev clearly played 2D side scroller shooters on the nes and megadrive back in the 90's... and this definitely takes inspiration off those games and has also obviously carried the souls-like difficulty over from them too, and by giving you have 3 lives, a perma death after you lose them and it's all back to square one to start again. It's a textbook 2D scroller game just updated to 2026. You either love it or your hate it. I used to love it, cause as a kid, you just had all the time in the world and you just burn your life away on them. Nowadays, I don't really get on with them as much. - I do like a challenge but I want to feel like I'm progressing, and this game doesn't do that. the dopamine hit of "YOU HAVE A HIGH SCORE!" no longer works on me, I want to see actual progress. I don't really care about high scores and achievements that mean essentially less than nothing, you don't get rewarded for for getting a "medal" - you just get a little shiny badge "well done".. ok cool so what do I get for it? Nothing? - Complete and utter waste of my time. - I honestly feel like some games just take the piss out of a player. I was hoping for something like an upgrade, new skin, ♥♥♥♥, even a pretty boost.. idc what the ♥♥♥♥ it is, i wanted something for all the grinding I just did. But no, that's not the case it seems. Oh but you get a high score! Oh great, and I join a list of thousands of other players with high scores. - ok mate. whatever. you know the top of this league table of high scores, all the cheaters live up there, the modders, the gooners and the wannabe hackers. - all have scores that no normal person would ever hope to achieve unless you have something to achieve it with. - all trying 1 up each other to prove who can conjure up the more absurd high score. Also the card deck is confusing as hell. - didn't seem to make any difference whatsoever. - would be nice if there was some sort guidance for it in game. The in game upgrades didn't really feel good.. sometimes I felt like I wasn't doing any damage to anything. it just felt like the difficulty just kept up with the damage output from any upgrades you may have gotten. - and really did feel more cosmetic then actually valuable. Would I recommend it? depends if you're a masochist or not. if you are then great, buy it. if not, give it a pass cause the gameplay is VERY unforgiving and you'll be starting from square one every time, upon death. ... Every. Single. Time. To some, that loop is highly rewarding. To others, it almost certainly isn't and you would definitely be thinking you've wasted your money here.
