Critic Reviews for Terror Squid
Terror Squid is a well-made arcade title with interesting gameplay, but there is nowhere near enough content to keep players occupied for long periods.
Terror Squid is an addictive and fun take on the shooter genre, in which you create your own bullet hell by shooting bullets at yourself. The longevity is the only issue; a few more modes wouldn't go astray.
Terror Squid may not have much content, but what is there still manages to impress and terrify. The unique, personality-filled take on shmup gameplay truly can't be found anywhere else, despite the minimal variety. Players who enjoy chasing high scores through quick, replayable experiences will find a lot of value in the title. However, those looking for more to do should swim on to less dangerous waters.
It's a simple game at its core but mastering Terror Squid will require a lot of strategy and fast-thinking so it'll appeal to score-chasers.
There's nothing wrong with sometimes playing a game that has one core idea in place and just asks you to run with it...
