SuperStardustHD is my favorite twin-stick shooter of all time, Geometry Wars 2 is a close second. Sektori is like a perfect blend between the two, with an absolutely thumping soundtrack to boot.

[BossLackey]

Oh damn. My interest is piqued.

Bought.

 

[TommyCronin6969]

Game is absolutely drugs. The music and visuals alone are worth it.

 

[The_hunter]

looks good

 

[TexMex]

I bought this when Housemarque promoted it on their Twitter. This is right up my alley but honestly it may be TOO frantic. Rough first impression, not for me. I may go back to it but there's too much right now.

 

[CamHostage]

Trailer or it didnt happen



Funny, this looks a little like Bluepoint's Blast Chamber (and a bit like Everyday Shooter, two old PS twin-gunners.) This looks frantic and has its own twists though, I'll check it out.

 

[Thebonehead]

Looks right up my street. I do love a twin stick shooter. Bought

I felt the same way until I gave it a little bit more time to understand some of the systems, once it clicked, it became next level for me.

 

[Hudo]

Feels a bit like Geometry Wars! I am in.

Geometry Wars 2 is still the best twin-stick shooter ever.

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Hope this comes to consoles.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

oh nice!

 

[TommyCronin6969]

Hope this comes to consoles.

It's on PS5

true, it's like pure digital crack

 

[baphomet]

Definitely picking this up. Thanks for the heads up

 

[Markio128]

That looks awesome.

 

[The_Mike]

Hope this comes to consoles.

How did you miss the huge picture in the thread saying it will be available on consoles?

 

[near]

Added to Wishlist. Thanks.

I did it on purpose to annoy people

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Loving that font.
If there was award for fonts, that'd be in the running.

 

[Little Mac]

Trailer or it didnt happen

 

[Miles708]

Oh boy i have read "shooter" and "housemarque" in the same sentence and i immediately thought they were making a sequel of The Reap.

Nevertheless, this could be interesting.

 

[digoutyoursoul]

Hope this comes to consoles.

It's on PS5 and Xbox

Looks brilliant imo , love a good twin stick shooter

 

[Fbh]

Now that's a game that justifies the mandatory warning about flashing lights

 

[DonkeyPunchJr]

This game is really fucking cool. Feels like the next evolution of the Geometry Wars formula with the Gradius-style upgrades, mild roguelike elements, morphing levels, boss fights, etc.

 

[Black_Stride]

 

[BennyBlanco]

I wonder what Harry Krueger is up to. Been 2 years since he left Housemarque.

I really want another Nex Machina type game.

 

[John Bilbo]

Loving that font.
If there was award for fonts, that'd be in the running.

That kind of font seems to be a thing in retro arcade style shooter games.

 

[bender]

Goddamn that logo is atrocious. Wishlisted.

 

[Karamina]

Finally, I can play something other than Nex Machina in those boring Teams meetings.

 

[OverHeat]

I promise my wife I would not buy anything before Xmas….

 

[R6Rider]

Didn't know about this one. Added it to my PS5 wishlist.

 

[bender]

I promise my wife I would not buy anything before Xmas….

Buy two copies, give one to me, and say it was just a small gift for your BFF. She'll not want to look like a Grinch.

 

[cash_longfellow]

I was thinking about missing twin stick shooters just the other day. About to grab this on ps5 later today!

 

[Dirk Benedict]

I promise my wife I would not buy anything before Xmas….

How would you react to a 5090Ti?

 

[OverHeat]

How would you react to a 5090Ti?

I would Die…having to wait a month

 

[Magic Carpet]

Give your new Steam Controller TMR sticks a workout.

I bought Returnal on PC this weekend but this looks more like what I really want to play.

 

[clem84]

Looks fun!

 

[ReBurn]

I love twin stick shooters. I'll end up buying this. Wish it was on Switch, but PS works.

 

[OverHeat]

I'm weak…

 

[Magic Carpet]

Took me a bit to figure out the upgrade system. You run over the upgrade and that advances the item on the menu on the left. Speed is first, upgrade that easily a few times then have to sit on an upgrade as it advances up. The play area is tiny, I keep wanting the game to zoom out.

edit-It seems the red areas are death. I don't like that part of the game. Have to constantly avoid areas in an already tiny play field. I can see the areas start to glow red and when it gets bright red your dead.
Not sure if I like this.

edit edit-Beat the first boss, but game is too hard for me.

 

[OverHeat]

I'm not sold on the gameplay so far

 

[Hohenheim]

This looks like a perfect game for my MSI Claw. Awesome!

 

[Guerilla Munch]

Is this PS5 exclusive? Would be a perfect portable game on Switch 2.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Looks very cool, wishlisted. Who knows maybe I'll even buy it since it's not very expensive.

 

[John Bilbo]

Sektori (Official Soundtrack)

tommybaynen.hearnow.com

The soundtrack is now available for purchase.

 

[TerribleAtThisGame]

I fucking loved Nex Machina and Returnal but the footage of this does nothing for me unfortunately. Gonna have to pass.

 

[alphachino]

Nice little segment on this game on this week's DF Direct Weekly. Time-stamped.

 

[Rockman33]

It's on PS5

Also xbox

 

[Rockman33]

I love twin stick shooters. Geometry wars, resogun, super stardust are my jam. But there is something off about this game. The visual language is too chaotic IMO.
