This game gives me the same vibe as Geometry Wars 2 and I sunk a lot of time into that game.

Easily my most anticipated launch title. Is that sad?

Everyone keeps praising the visuals in this game. I wanna see how it looks on my television.

Stick it on a flash drive and test it out!

Wish this had couch co-op multiplayer, but I can understand why there isn't.

Wow! It's like Galaga on steroids. Looks refreshingly retro

Some reviews:

IGN - 9.0

With some deceptively simple changes, Housemarque took a genre nearly as old as videogaming itself and made a tense, challenging, and excellent shooter. It may be short, but its addictive cycle of cylindrical shooter gameplay, great looks, and catchy music make it worth replaying in endless pursuit of that high score on the leaderboard.

Eurogamer 8

Resogun really is that rare kind of arcade game that feels like an entirely different beast when played on the toughest setting. It's also the closest the PS4 launch line-up gets to offering a genuine next-gen thrill. Granted, Housemarque's not offering the shock of the new, perhaps - all of the developer's best ideas are actually reassuringly elderly - but it's working with energy, enthusiasm, precision and love. Oh, and voxels. Look at them scatter!

Destructoid - 9.5

Resogun is a satisfying arcade-style game with a next-gen look and feel -- the ideal system launch game. It’s an eye-searing blur of a loop that you’ll be happy to jump into again and again. Don’t miss it.

Gamespot - 8

The only downside to Resogun is the short-stack of levels you get to explore. There are four difficulties to choose from, which provides a bit of variety, but the game's five stages don't stay fresh forever. Having three ships helps, but it doesn't take long for the flow of surprises to dry up and the race for high scores to take over. That said, Resogun remains fun to play even when the joy of discovery fades away. It's classic arcade action imbued with hard-hitting artistic and gameplay elements. Falling in love with Resogun is easy, and mastering it is challenging, and the combination of these two qualities makes Resogun almost impossible to put down.

Polygon - 8.5

Resogun is a collision of 1980s shooters, 1990s bullet-hells and 2010s aesthetic. It's as simple or difficult as you want it to be. Sure, it borrows great ideas quite liberally. But Resogun's best idea is smashing them all together into a singular, spectacular laser light show.

Joystiq - 4/5

Resogun is a smart, merciless little shooter, with just enough substance to match its extravagant flash. The humans are a welcome pain, as they always are, conspiring with relentless enemies and ostentatious graphical effects to exterminate boredom at every opportunity. Resogun may be built out of blocks, but its heart is set on another round.

I have a feeling some people are going to look past this one.


Don't.

Re: Resogun (PS4)

This game is awesome, very fun and addicting.

Question, I haven't figured out why some of my humans die before being released from their cells/boxes or whatever, what determines if they get released or not?

I usually get most of them but for some reason I'll have 2 or 3 that never release to be rescued.

Yeah im trying to figure that out also. Im thinking you have to kill a certain amount of enemies when they are ready to be released, or kill one of the keepers, but I dont know which ones are keepers lol
