My initial review upon finishing the game consisted of 3 words – BUY THIS NOW. Sadly though I don’t think that would have been published so I’ve tried to explain why I thought that in the words in the review. I’ve played quite a few games in my 46 years on the planet and this one is one of the best.
I wanted to like this game, I really did. I have fond memories of the 'Bullet Hell' genre.........Galaga, Raiden, 1943-Battle of Midway and R-Type to name a few that I've enjoyed over the years.
Earth has been invaded by a perverse race of bio-mechanical beings from outer-space known as Zeetnuks. A group of humans organize themselves to resist the invasion, but soon discover they don’t stand any chance against the enemy’s technological superiority.
Wonderful game to play, however is a bit on the short side.
As stated above I’ve not as yet finished as I’m stuck on Forest level 7 (it’s damn challenging) but I really do like this game and it’s been an absolute pleasure to play it.
So, a beautiful looking game that has an amazing soundtrack and is based on a still unexplained real life event. I will now do quite a bit of reading about The Dyatlov Pass Incident and try to see how good the game related to it.
My time with Pressure Overdrive has been fun and it’s a quirky little game that will keep me coming back for more.
