Sektori

Sektori is swiftly becoming one of my favorite games of all time. It is a hectic, overstimulating rush of focus and energy. This game feeds off of my ADHD, and behind that veil presents the single most unbelievably difficult twin stick shooter I've ever played. Every death feels like my fault, every hit you take teaches you something if you're willing to look. The bosses are amazing (wowie great boss fights in a twin stick shooter???). You have so many paths to modify your build using the deck/card system and stack upgrades. You have a damaging dash attack with i-frames, but this isn't a crutch; it is built into the combat and enemy design, and it is integral to scoring well. This game looks like a kaleidoscope yet could not be clearer to see what's happening; it sounds like a hard techno rave with outstanding sfx, yet it's mixed well enough to easily hear important cues. The menus, bosses, background, even the FLOOR beats with the music. This game is such a treat to play!! Don't disregard the warnings within the difficulty settings. Experience may be the easiest mode, but it'll still put up a fight. Challenge may be the "intended" difficulty, but it's called Challenge for a reason. Revolution... turns this game into one of the hardest bullet hell/avoidance/horde management games i have EVER played. I just recently got my first win on revolution difficulty... at 110 HOURS of gameplay lmao. The game also has six alternate gamemodes that help teach you the fundamentals of the mechanics. Each is fairly short but gets brutal quickly. All seven gamemodes have an intricately designed scoring system. Everything has its own leaderboard. I bought the soundtrack alongside the game, and i wish i could buy it again to throw more money at the devs. Selling this game for 15 USD feels like I'm stealing lol.
