So WE ARE DOOMED is officially out on PS4 in North America! The reviews have been coming in:
James Cunningham at Hardcore Gamer says:
We Are Doomed is a fantastic take on the twin-stick shooter, showing that you can take the basics of a genre and still make something fresh with enough creativity and style.
Chris Saltel at Eat Pray Game gives it a 9.5/10, saying:
WE ARE DOOMED is a shot of adrenaline into the twin-stick shooter genre. By keeping it minimal and focusing on game feel, Vertex Pop has made one of the most addicting and enjoyable arcade games I’ve ever played.
Eric Pepper goes into detail about the laserbeam over at Analog Addiction:
The player must take a more offensive approach to completing levels, while navigating through the throngs of geometric enemies, getting close enough for the laser to actually make contact. For such a small change in gameplay mechanics, it has significant ramifications.
Finally, Graham Arthur talks about my favourite topic, colour and light, over at Automaton:
The presentation is pure sensory overload. The chosen color palate makes everything pop in a big way, and the explosions of light keep players constantly engaged with the action on the screen.
