Nex Machina

Nex Machina is a classic twin shooter like you could find in the good old Amusement Arcades 30 Years ago. The Graphics are solid, and the Effects have been really good. There's real ONE MENGE going on screen, while resisting quite a wide Variety of Enemies, their Shots evading, rescuing Civilians and trying to find one or the other hidden Gimmick in the Level. The Shot direction is determined (on the X Box 360 controller, which I recommend to Play) With the A-X-Y-B buttons, the Control with the left stick, on LB/LT is the Dash (jump/glide), on RB/RT the respective Special Weapon, some of which exist. Even the Soundtrack is really good, fun and further fueling the Mood. I thought it was good that the Game is really simple-you don't need any Tutorial, after a few Rounds of testing you know what's going on and how the Game works. It's entertaining, and personally there was a really nice 90s Feel to me-very cool. The Game, though, is really, really short. I don't even know what it looks like with my Playing Time-a few few Hours, I'd guess. You Can definitely play through comfortably on a leisurely Evening. Sure, the arcade mode comes in a few Difficulty Levels, and there are 1-2 other Modes-but I'm not that 100% type now, for me was there after once ricking through not much to pick up. The successful Game Design and the great Atmosphere definitely gives a Thumbs up. For just under 20 Euros, however, I find Nex Machina To be clearly too expensive. I once bagged it in a Sale, because it cost 5 Euros, so I think I remember. You can definitely take it with you for that.
