    Black Paradox may not be the biggest shmup out there but it plays so well that it's hard to put down once you pick it up.

    It's endlessly repetitive, has an unfair upgrade system, the gameplay is relentlessly unforgiving, and yet I've been playing the game constantly. Black Paradox has that magic 'one more go' element, and whilst it's tough, the fact that you progress just a smidgen further each time, learning a new attack pattern or safe space, means you just have to keep on playing. Recommended to hardcore shooter fans, casual gamers may find it just too difficult.

    An accomplished shoot-em-up with rogue-lite elements and an addictive core gameplay loop.
