    So, yes, Starborn Anarkist is pretty rough in the early going, but it's definitely worth sticking to.

    Simple, fun, crazy and addictive. These are all words I would use to describe this pixelated twin-stick-shooter. Good chiptune-music, charming retro graphics and tons of loot keep you hooked no matter if you are in for a retro fix or a simple space adventure with focus on ship building.

    Arcade games were designed back in the day to be insanely hard in an effort to eat up quarters. While the modern arcade is more of a novelty at this point, the spirit of difficulty still remains in a title such as this.

    Despite its name, Starborn Anarkist isn't all that different from other dual-stick shooters. It isn't very shocking in any regard, and it won't change anything about any topic it touches. But it's an enjoyable enough shooter.
