    Even with new things once in a while thrown at you; there were the same objectives in each room feel to it repeated over and over again. Thankfully the different enemy, and the area map looks provide a bit of change, but not by much. For a pick up and play and walk away distraction Hexodius fits the bill and is a solid arcade game.

Usually games that recommend the controller before you even start playing, really grind my gears. However, With this one after trying both settings. I'm glad I got that message for a change, because with keyboard and mouse it was next to impossible to play.

    The game is great fun and highly addictive, but from what I can see, not very popular on steam. I don't know why this is as its a fantastic game. You have a story mode, and a traditional arcade mode (with leaderboards everyone. Yes. You can own your friends). The story mode follows a very basic story and has several objectified missions to get to a dimensional portal at the end of the zone. There is plenty to do. And you get rewarded for exploring all the map with bonus unlocks and bonus health items.

    Your ship is also fully customisable with whatever powers you desire from the menu, different combinations will give you different pro's and cons of course, but work out whats good for you.

    The soundtrack to this game in my opinion is rather good, but gets slightly repetitive when you've been in the same zone for a while.

    All in all, Hexodius is a great and addictive twin stick shooter, and there is a lot on offer if you try to give it the time of day. I give Hexodius a 8/10.    … Full Review »
