Beat Hazard

Another hidden gem i found thanks to a demo in 2024. Awesome game for offline music enjoyers. I only wished i found it sooner. I've played music games before and i don't know anything similar to beat hazard. What does the game offer? 1. Procedurally generated levels based on your audio files. 2. Various types of leaderboards for competition. 3. Three game modes (survival, boss rush and regular) 4. Custom ships, perks, missions. 5. Lots and lots of score farming including different tactics. 6. Potentially infinite gameplay.

Не знаю, про какую эпилепсию все говорят, но благодаря этой игре я не могу воспринимать некоторые треки без фейерверка перед глазами. Всем, кто прочитает: пусть грядущий год будет таким же классным, как ваша любимая музыка, и таким же ярким, как визуальные эффекты в этой игре! С Новым Годом!

"Asteroids on Steroids". At this point, this is an older game, but it still checks out. If you have a music library (especially EDM), you will have hours of fun playing your songs. Beat Hazard gets a lot of things [i]right[/i]. [b]Chillout vs Challenge[/b]: The game has options to tune to your mood. If you've had a rough day at work and your brain is cooked, turn down the effects, pick an easy difficulty, and zone out while wasting aircraft; the game does the thinking for you and it just feels good. Or, if you're ready for some action, pick up Shadow Mission and crank up the difficulty, it's not impossible but not forgiving, you will need to try and you will fail. [b]Content[/b]: There is lots to discover. Not just (your) music genres, the game has a lot of different modes and paths you can explore, different level up opportunities and generally a lot of content to explore. They stayed true to some principals (everything wraps around your music library) but really added depth where it made sense. [b]Graphics[/b]: You either love or hate them; this is no AAA title with 200GB of 3D maps and models, instead, it compensates by spraying particles everywhere and syncing the brightness to your music. You can turn this down if you don't like it, I find it fun and like the challenge added by needing to sort through the "chaff" to find what I am shooting at. [b]Gameplay[/b]: This is well covered in other reviews. The controls feel snappy, the ship does what it's supposed to, even the menus are refined and "everything is where it should be". I don't play much in the top-down-shooter category, so my review counts for little here, but from gut feeling I would say, yeah, I could pick this up easy and it felt right.

An endless classic that feels superior to it's sequels for some reason.

Enjoyable and easy gameplay. It'll keep you hooked for a couple of hours.

It's under 200MB and there's so much content and replay value. Would love to see a version with uncompressed audio and images. Having more control in the settings would be nice, too. The slider of visual distractions only going down to 50% is pretty annoying. Visual clarity is something I value quite a bit, so allowing that setting to go to 0% would be perfect.

pinche juego todo bueno, tiene tanta aura que me voy a quedar ciego xdxd

Hey, did you ever play Geometry Wars on the 360 and enjoyed it, but thought, what this game needs is nonsensical level-up and award notices obnoxiously thrown at you on screen constantly and SO many particle effects and flashing that you don't even know what's happening on screen? Man, is this the game for you. If you're normal, skip it.

Añadí un audio del Xocas y ahora el juego no me abre. Peak. (No estoy j0diendo, en verdad ya no me abre el juego, con propiedades tampoco pude solucionarlo, no añadan audios del Xocas, hasta para el juego es insoportable).
