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.
