Earth Atlantis Reviews
Quality central gameplay unfortunately proves marred by decisions that don't mesh, producing a game that's better enjoyed in brief spurts than something you can actually chew on and master.
Earth Atlantis is a beautiful monochrome world that is just aching to be explored. Visually stunning, this unique side-scrolling shooter is incredibly challenging as the player faces a unique variety of enemies and bosses on their journey across an apocalyptic Earth.
Overall, especially once the grinding issue is properly addressed, I believe that Earth Atlantis has a place and is actually pretty unique among shooters I’ve played. The game is literally swimming with challenging boss battles, and while there are some that are easier than others the false sense of security the game lulls you into having will just make it sweeter when you take the bait and get surprised when one of them puts up a formidable challenge and kills you in an instant. For the moment I’d recommend starting in Easy Mode and getting the lay of the land, spending time backtracking is difficult enough with the way everything is laid out, you may as well take the opportunity to learn where things are, how the map flows, and roughly how the different boss monsters attack and behave so you can be more successful even before you hit the ground running on Normal difficulty. While Earth Atlantis can be frustrating at times it is also a well-executed shooter with loads of challenging content. If you’re not afraid to die quite a bit on the way to your ultimate victory I’d say it is worth giving a try.
I finally sat down and got my thoughts out on “Earth Atlantis” for the Nintendo Switch. Will this side-scrolling shooter sink or swim? Listen to my full review here to find out! It’s been long overdue…
Yes, we do Aquaman jokes too!
Earth Atlantis offers the thrills and tension you expect from a side-scrolling bullet-hell shooter, but sadly the lack of longevity you don't always expect.
Earth Atlantis is a uniquely looking, but badly designed game. It bases it's gameplay on conquering the flooded Earth and killing beasts inhabiting this brave new world.
