Netherspace

Netherspacec has a vertical R-type vibe with the frontal shield being a dominant element for survival later on (it must be upgraded to last long enough to make a difference). The graphics are old school but satisfyingly colorful and do their job well enough. The ship enhancement elements are also noteworthy as they give the game an RPG advancement feeling and greatly impact the overall gameplay. Additionally, the numerous weapons do a decent job to help keep the gameplay from going stale and their proper match with each other enhances survivability through the various levels considerably. I would say it is an overall pleasant RPG-shooter blend experience.

Great game

Amazing old school shoot'em up with nostalgic vintage graphics, excellent collision detection, nice power-ups and a "balanced" bullet hell

Yükseltme deneylerine yoğun bir şekilde odaklanan, sır paylarına rağmen sınırlarını aşmak ve hem Dünya'yı hem de Andraxia'yı yok edebilecek bir tehdidi ortadan kaldırmayı başarmak için birlikte mükemmel bir şekilde çalışması gereken iki beklenmedik kahramanın yer aldığı bir bilim kurgu shoot'em'up oyunu eğer işaretlenmemişse.

Netherspace is a beautifully crafted retro-looking shooter game with quite a funny twist in most of the interactions that take place between the two starring heroes. There is great variety in terms of what the player can choose to invest in per playthrough, as the many ship's stats prove to be a major factor in choosing a personal gameplay style. The teleportation and shield mechanisms are both vital for survival and the ability to move at double speed when not firing gave me a good choice of defenses without which it would be impossible to reach the game's ending, so kudos for nice variety in that area. The ship's weapons have separate ammo each and up to four can be equipped. They each have their strengths and weaknesses, whether it is in terms of ammo, ammo recharge rate, fire rate, hitbox size, damage and certain special weapons even have spread and their bolts teleport along with the ship. What I enjoyed most, other than the direct gameplay, was the beautifully written script. Both heroes are interesting and the presentation of the plot after each defeated boss and upgrade screen, exclusively through the dialogue of the protagonists, worked perfectly for me. In the end, I've had fun with this little game and see no reason not to recommend it to shoot'em'up and retro-looking games lovers.

Very basic shmup. It's free but there is no depth to it at all, it doesn't worth your time. Good old galaxian is a better implementation of this idea.

Игра 'Netherspace' оставила двоякое впечатление. С одной стороны, концепция исследования заброшенных космических станций и борьба за выживание в условиях ограниченных ресурсов и враждебной среды - действительно захватывающая. Атмосфера безысходности и постоянной опасности создается умело, благодаря мрачному визуалу и давящему звуковому дизайну. Геймплей представляет собой смесь survival horror и roguelite элементов, что добавляет реиграбельности, но в то же время может оттолкнуть игроков, не любящих часто умирать и начинать все заново. Сложность порой кажется неоправданно высокой, особенно на начальных этапах, когда ресурсов катастрофически не хватает. Система крафта и улучшения снаряжения реализована неплохо, но интерфейс мог бы быть и более удобным. Искусственный интеллект противников иногда выдает странные вещи, то проявляя неожиданную агрессию, то тупо стоя на месте. В целом, 'Netherspace' - это нишевая игра для ценителей хардкорных survival horror roguelite с интересной, но не до конца раскрытой концепцией. Если вы готовы к трудностям и любите атмосферу безысходности в космическом антураже, то стоит попробовать. Но будьте готовы умирать часто.
