Genuinely a good game with a fresh take on the twin-stick genre. The challenges are fun, and the difficulty level is just right.
Project Aether is a pretty fun shooter. Great mix of ranged and melee combat. Decent amount of customization, 2 weapon slots, a few special abilities, and colors Don't ignore the trials. Some of them are a ton of fun and unlock items. Also has an acid thrower.
This game is a modern take on the classic bullet hell genre, that's also easier for new players to jump into. The gameplay is challenging, fluid and I very much like the soundtrack. The game feels quite polished, with an in-game model viewer, soundtrack player, and more. I would say to check this out if you like these types of games. You wont regret it

Tl;dr: real diamond in the rough. Doom-style executions in a unique vertical scroller/twin stick shooter format. B-Everything about this game is cheap. It looks and sounds like a budget ps2 title from a no-name studio. Fortunately, it's also about as expensive as one of those games would be today. Actual effort was put into this game: enemy patterns are well designed, as are the bosses.It's also got a fairly unique mechanic, where you shoot an enemy until a circle indicating they've become vulnerable to your EMP appears around them. The more damage you've caused, the bigger the circle. If you move into the circle and activate EMP, the enemy will be instakilled and explode, possibly taking nearby foes with it. Getting that close is a gamble, so there's a bit of a risk-reward dynamic going on.Another interesting dynamic is that you usually want to get enemies to the max EMP level without killing them so they can serve as bombs. You can also cause chain reactions if enemies' circles intersect, so you can take out whole squadrons with some well placed shooting and EMP.Y'know, I've kind of talked myself into liking this game much more. Let's go with B+
Really enjoying the game, alot of fun! ★★★★★
Nice to see quality games coming out from independent developers. Long time since I played a game like this, takes me back to some of the originals space shooters but smoother and better graphics with a few neat new features added in to make it fresh. I am mainly a keyboard and mouse player and it plays well enough with that combo. I will need to see if I can configure one of my PS4 controllers to try it out as the twin stick configuration.
