    Armature Studio is really coming into its own as a developer and 'Dead Star' is proof of that. It's one of the most accessible MOBAs to date, and doesn't feature the high barrier of entry that plagues so many of its contemporaries. This is largely circumvented thanks to a wonderfully done tutorial. There's not another game quite like it on the market, which ensures that I'll continue to go back to it frequently.

    Dead Star is a cool twin stick shooter with fun online multiplayer. Teamwork however is essential for both victory and fun, that like with most games, that all comes down to the player base themselves and doesn't reflect on the quality of the game.

    Overall, Dead Star is a game that starts out a bit slow, but gets better the more you play it.

    Dead Star combines the appeal of classic space shooters with the depth of RPG elements. It’s fun, fast paced, founded both on cooperation and strategy.

    Dead Star is a dynamic and entertaining mash-up of top-down shooter and open MOBA variant. It initially seems simple and straightforward, but the more you play it, the more its tactical and strategic depths become apparent. Ultimately, it's a really enjoyable game that offers intense, competitive PvP action, from exciting one-on-one dogfights to pitched battles involving many players.

    A pleasant surprise for those who enjoy multiplayer battles and the twin-stick shooters with a simplified MOBA style.

    Mixing the structure of a MOBA with the gameplay of a Twin-Stick Shooter Armature Studios delivers an unusual and interesting arcade. There are some balancing problems but Dead Star is the best way to approach the Battle Arena scene, especially for console gamers.

    Give this game a chance. Try the ships, get the hang of one of them. Dead Star comes off like it doesn't have much depth, but it does.Give this game a chance. Try the ships, get the hang of one of them. Dead Star comes off like it doesn't have much depth, but it does. A lot of players aren't giving the game a fair shake because it's not an established AAA title and has released on PSN Plus during a drought. Don't make this mistake. Full Review »
