    It may have a simple premise, but this PlayStation 4 title is one of the most exciting space shooters of the year.

    The guys at Mixed Bag are definitely showing some promise, and Futuridium is proof of that. A fast paced, colorful and intelligent arcade game that deserves to be played.

    Futuridium is a game that will reward persistent gamers with creative levels and bosses. It can be challenging and suspenseful, but most of all, it’s fun to play.

    With tight gameplay, sharp shooting, and a remarkable sense of style, Futuridium EP Deluxe is a delightful 3D shooter.

    Futuridium EP Deluxe could be your next digital drug. If you’re a shmup lover, you can’t miss the first game from Italian studio Mixedbag.

    The levels are quite varied and imaginative, but the credit system is very punishing, although certainly attractive for those looking for a tough time.

    Futuridium EP Deluxe is a cracking little arcade game, best for playing a set of levels when you have a moment rather than a long gaming session, and while later levels can be a bit frustrating, playing it in small bites makes it much more enjoyable.

    It is fun and addictive, but the difficulty hasn't been properly balanced, and sometime feels that it just tries to artificially make the game longer.

    A wildly difficult and repetitive game. It manages to stay fairly interesting by allowing players to change songs and unlock new gameplay modes and skins, but in the end players end up repeating the same levels over and over again with no variation in them.

    Futuridium EP Deluxe is an easily forgettable title that can only be recommended to people who want an extreme challenge or die-hard fans of space shooters and/or puzzle games. If that’s not you, then I’d take a pass.

    Sadly, Futuridium EP Deluxe does not stand on par with some of these gems, instead fading into the background, never to be heard from again.

    Futuridium is a game for those who can invest in the grind of simply 'getting the job done'. Taken on those terms, Futuridium becomes a challenge to be completed, retro looking enough to be in vogue, yet with mechanics that inhibit a broader mainstream appeal.

    -some earlier levels seemed harder than later levels (i.e. awkward difficulty transitions/designs).
    -controls are not immediately intuitive.
    -aside from the ship's neon color trail and boost animation, the general visual aesthetic seemed amateur and empty.
    -some distance rendering and clipping issues.
    **I think this game would have greatly benefited from a level editor/designer. Similarly, a multiplayer addition would make up for the fairly lacking singleplayer experience. Overall, a mediocre contemporary take on Uridium.    … Full Review »

If you like shooters and you are looking for a real challenge like the old times, you have to play this game! You will find the real "flow", the time will pass trying to beat the latest challenge or trying to make the best score in Flappyridium. I have received it for my birthday and now I have tons of challenge to beat! Even if it is less powerful, imho PS Vita is the best platform to play Futuridium. I prefer it on the little screen...but it doesn't matter, because it a cross buy game! :) Uridium was one of my favorite shooters on Commodore 64, now for PS4 the legend continues with Futuridium.… Full Review »
