![]() Like something out of Mario Galaxy as you progress through this game you have to utilize all parts of the map to achieve your objectives and sometimes, even just to survive. The biggest thing that Curved Space does different is the notion of the true 3D level design. So to really stand out and be something different developer Only by Midnight had to try to do something we haven’t seen before. Fans are mainly driven by nostalgia from games long ago (myself included). Weapons are varied (from lasers to flamethrowers to weed wackers!) and equipped with their own overdrive states!Īt first glance Curved Space looks like something we have seen plenty of times before, twin stick shoot em ups are plentiful in today’s market. ![]() Upgrade & Take Them Down: Collect a plethora of ability and weapon upgrades.Ride the Synthwave: Get in the zone with a high-energy synthwave soundtrack in partnership with FiXT Neon, featuring artists like Scandroid, 3Force, and Fury Weekend.Play Your Style & Top the Leaderboards: Experience your space pilot’s harrowing journey in Campaign, take on new challenges, test your skills, and chase your place on the leaderboards in Daily Runs, Arena, Survival and Endless game modes.Climb walls, flip over to the other side of your environment, and experience breathtaking vistas. Old School Shmup Reimagined: Enjoy the high-energy action of traditional 2D shoot ‘em ups in a warped 3D space.Simple to learn as you fight your way through the branching story-driven campaign, but tough to master as you chase the glory of the leaderboards. Inspired by arcade classics, players will have to hunt for weapon power-ups and upgrades while dodging enemy fire, blasting interdimensional bugs, and wrangling some enormous boss monsters. Battle cosmic space-invading spiders across curved landscapes where bullets hug the terrain while the horizon drops sharply out of sight. While the idea is lovely, and the visual effect of it is astounding, in reality, you lack wide enough viewpoint over many of the levels often results in you and the last enemy chasing each other around Benny Hill-style.Curved space is a new take on the familiar twin stick shoot-em up, with a kicking soundtrack and unique gameplay style, but is it enough?Ĭurved Space is an intense arcade-style twin-stick shooter that takes the classic formula and plunges it into the weirdest reaches of space. This is due to the novelty of the levels themselves. They’re all fun to use, but the actual moment-to-moment gameplay of the game can feel a bit tedious at times. These skills can be combined to allow you to use them in different ways to suit different situations, and against the wealth of enemies you’ll be fighting during your time with Curved Space. You can then tie other enemies to those enemies in order to create a chain that both drains them of more power and keeps them in place. There are anchors littered throughout the levels that you can tie enemies to in order to drain them of energy and power up your overdrive. If a weapon only has limited ammo, it briefly grants you unlimited use of it, and for many other weapons, it’ll make the bullets larger and more powerful, and also gives them a nice glow. It boosts your damage output greatly, and alters the way your weapons behave. Overdrive basically has you going Super Saiyan. Alongside shooting things, you also gain access to an overdrive state and a leash. ![]() It’s not just those blatantly destructive weapons that are at your disposal. Some of these are your standard blaster weapons, but others are a little fancier, like a charged up laser that instantly bounces all over the place, or micro missiles which home in on anything that moves. You go around the maps, shoot enemies, try not to get hit, and pick up obnoxious weapons you can use to wipe out everything that stands in your path. ![]() In essence, Curved Space is a fairly standard twin-stick shooter.
