Some of the new ideas don't click perfectly, but at least I know where they were going with them. As a Geometry Wars fan, I'll say that this entry nails everything that it needs to. My advice is to give this game an immediate look. Thanks to a recent humble bundle, this game has likely recieved a large influx of new owners. I assume it's nice, but I'll probably never play it. Everything you play has a leaderboard attached to it, with solid friend support to boot.

There are also a handful of classic modes, which are 3D & load-out free for the purists. Still, the occasional boring stage is forgivable. It was so easy I had to destroy myself, just so I could move on. There's one stage that involves destroying giant snake-shapes.

Although, there are a few that can be annoying or dull. These aren't the "play once and forget about them" kind of stages either. The adventure mode is 50 stages, and a couple of free expansions tack on even more. Geometry Wars 3 features a wealth of content. During one stage, I discovered this quirk, and then used it to get out of tight-spots.

The aforementioned sweep drone flies in a full circle around the player, but it can bounce off of walls. Besides, it's not like everyone on the leaderboards isn't using them either.Īlso, there is a degree of cleverness to the drones that I have to applaud. On the bright side, if you lack the "mad skillz" to succeed, then the load-outs are only a band-aid. Load-outs add pre-game strategizing, so you might find yourself saying "I bet if I used the sweep drone, I would have beat my friend's hi-score." Everything about Geometry Wars is strong enough to stand on its own, it doesn't need load-outs. As the in-game situation constantly changes, the gears in your head are spinning, and the intent is to always stay one step ahead. In these games, strategies are usually come up with "on the fly". I don't dislike their inclusion, but it's really not something that feels necessary. This edition also adds load-outs such as drones and mines because. Either that, or I'm just prone to looking for excuses when I fail. It's like the designers are running dangerously close to visually overloading the game. However, there are those rare moments where the perspective can be distracting. The painters can spawn on the other side of the field, or tucked away into corners just out of sight. At times these can be interesting, such as the "rainbow" stages that require players to destroy painters. You survive by dodging shapes and improve your score-multiplier by collecting geoms.Īlongside its classic 2D stages, Dimensions Evolved adds numerous 3D stages. However, none of these stages ever go as far as to contradict how the game is meant to be played. Each stage has a specific goal, and there's usually a factor to consider such as contracting walls, a boss, or a complete lack of weapons. The adventure mode in Geometry Wars 3 is liable to be where most players begin. The sequels to Geometry Wars expand upon its simple concept, but never to the point where they endanger what makes it work. The basis of a great arcade game is in presenting everything that is necessary to the player's survival, within seconds of pressing the start button. In the time it takes to read that inane scenario, every single enemy shape & color in Geometry Wars can be memorized. Those fire-breathing zombies? Give them red oval-shaped fireman hats.Īnd just like that, we're right back where we started. Since everything is seen from an overhead perspective, the blue octagon-shape clearly indicates that these zombies have guns.

So here's an idea: Let's give the gun-toting zombies police-hats. How will the player know the zombie has a gun? In the middle of chaos, nobody is going to notice the few pixels or couple polygons that's supposed to represent a gun. Let's say you want to have a zombie with a gun in your twin-stick shooter. They're walking moaning hunks of undying flesh. Why would "Zombie Wars" not work? Zombies, despite their lack of functioning grey matter, are really complicated. Speaking in terms of twin-stick shooters: shapes are simple, easy on the eyes, and players are immediately able to recognize the behavioral differences between them. Why shapes anyway? Besides the fact that this is the Geometry Wars series, I believe the importance of using shapes can't be understated. It's a twin-stick shooter where the only goal is to shoot shapes, and yet it's exceedingly entertaining. Geometry Wars is a testament to quality game-design.
