Outer Terror Reviews
Its flaws can bog down the experience somewhat, but in the end, Outer Terror's unique horror spin on the rouge-lite genre makes it a breath of fresh air. Intuitive gameplay, retro visuals, and a chilling atmosphere are seemingly the recipe for lots of blood and guts, but also for a lot of fun.
Outer Terror can be a pleasant experience to try and take advantage of for a few hours, we can't consider it attractive to everyone, but if you are looking to get achievements or have the time to try something interesting and with a retro and fun touch, it doesn't hurt to give it its respective chance on consoles, we can't guarantee that you will like it 100%, But it's not a bad game, just one that suffers from some design flaws and not currently having the most polished gameplay possible despite arriving after almost a year on home consoles.

Outer Terror is a daring and defiant ode to the beauty of retro horror, delivering an arcade experience that is familiar but unique enough to keep you digging further.
Outer Terror is a beautiful love letter to both old-school horror and early gaming; if you love both, you'll love it.
To be honest, when I saw Ratalaika Games pop up on screen, I tempered my expectations, but when I starting playing the game, I discovered one of the most boring, tedious, games I’ve ever played. The fact that you can’t control when you shoot is a giant red flag leaving no control to the player. Trying to kill bigger enemies or figuring how to complete certain objectives (such as the Meat tower thing) is borderline as possible. This is the pure definition of shovelware. Pass.
If the developers could tweak the balancing issues, then Outer Terror would be a challenger to Vampire Survivors. However, it doesn’t quite compare and this may disappoint. Yet, if you want a simplified and fun nod to 80s/90s horror, then this is the game for you. I love the aesthetics and the wonderful learning curve. Accordingly, I recommend buying it here! Can you complete each chapter? Choose a hero, explore each vast land, and kill every boss you face.
Despite a few small issues, Outer Terror is a very good title. It's not "the most rented tape in the rental shop," but we can say with time it becomes that movie with a loyal fanbase. The simplicity may attract both veterans of the genres and newcomers. Facing off against vampires, toasters or ████, there's only one thing to say: Groovy.
