Aug 8, 2014While the problematic menus and glaring lack of single-player content invariably creeps in, tarnishing what is otherwise an essential title, Orbital Gear remains a refreshing and deftly executed take on multiplayer gaming that more developers should consider.

Aug 21, 2014Orbital Gear can be a frantic shooter that pulls you in with its gravitational gimmickry, but lacks the forward momentum to keep me playing for long.

Aug 8, 2014There’s a solid foundation to Orbital Gear. The momentum-based aerial acrobatics are fluid, and mastering them is rewarding. The weapons are varied, and it’s interesting how they interact with the game world. It’s disappointing then, as the delay they have in firing is at odds with the one-to-one ease of movement the game is built around.

Sep 4, 2014A strange bi-dimensional shooter that plays with gravity and testes player's reflexes. There aren't enough maps and modes to properly support the main idea, though.

Sep 6, 2014I know games like this take a lot of work from creators with a very small budget, but sometimes, an idea just isn’t that great.

Nov 2, 2014Side-scrolling combat games aren't new, and plenty of them are heftier, more substantial and cheaper than this one. Steam users can do better.

Feb 23, 2018Single player is abysmal while online is empty. It can be good in split screen mode with friends at least.
