The choice of ship directly affects your weapons. Even the second level – Experienced – can be quite a challenge, so you’ll want to stick to Rookie if you aren’t great at/familiar with these games.

There are three different ships to choose from, across four difficulty levels. It definitely sounds tedious and complicated, but when you’re playing and you get into a rhythm of weaving in and out of foes before destroying them, all the while saving humans as you go, it’s simply fantastic. It’s not something that you’ll pick up right away, and you then have to grab the human and take them to an escape pod.

These special enemies will glow green and need to be destroyed within a certain amount of time -and occasionally in a specific order- to free a human captive. Essentially, these humans are in jail cells, captured by the enemy overlords – keepers. At face value, it might just seem like a side scrolling space shooter, but you’re tied to 360 degrees around a carousel of sorts, meaning you can swoop around the map and sneak up on enemies from the back, and you’ll face foes on both sides.Īside from the wonderful notion of blowing enemies up as they come from both sides, increasing your multiplayer and the amount of voxels on-screen, there’s a secondary mechanic – involving saving humans – which really takes Resogun to the next level. It’s deceptively and wonderfully complex too.

Resogun is one of the best PS4 titles available at launch.Īnd it feels as though it’s taken all this time just to get here – it’s evolved from side scrolling shooters to create a beautiful symphony of dying enemies exploding into the individual 3D cubes they’re made out of, throwing particles over the screen without a single hint of slowdown. It’s a game at it’s purest: unforgivingly hard, refined and absolutely stunning. As we head into a new generation, Resogun blends the past and future of gaming to create something truly wonderful – an old school shooter with a plethora of new tricks up its sleeve.
