    **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.    … Expand

    I think I might have really enjoyed this about 20 years ago. However, with the quality and depth of games now a days, I don't see the point in playing a game like this, where you are just doing the same thing over and over again. Not bad at what it does, just not very fun or interesting.

    I was hoping for this game to be the next fun arcade shooter reaching to the heights of Resogun and Velocity 2X. Futuridium EP Deluxe does not join the ranks of these great games! I would say the game actually resembles Star Fox 64 more than anything. The difficulty to get all of the medals is definitely there. The fun isn't quite.

For now, this game is passable unless you are a die hard fan of the genre.… Expand

    Fast, fun and the music is awesome! If you like shooters and you are looking for a real challenge like the old times, you have to play this game!

    I bought Futuridium with the PS+ 25% discount and I'll never regret it. The game is insanely hard, it challenges you on many different levels and it keeps always building up! Definitely recommended for the hardcore games out there! Also, it's insane the guys who did this were only two!

    I'm following this game since the alpha. I love the gameplay and the graphics :). I spent at least 2 or three days trying to get a better result and unlock all levels whit the aplha. It's not easy but I really found it great to play.

    If Zaxxon and Fez had a baby is would look like this. If you think this is Star Fox you are very wrong. Doesn't have much randomness. It is more of a figure out the best pattern for a high score and try to execute it. Replayabilty might seem to be limited since these are fixed levels but you aren't going to master them because it is pretty hard. Still a lot of fun.

The visuals looked like they might be annoying in screenshots but I found it to actually be really pleasing and very unique. Dubstep WARNING! The music may not be to everyone's liking and I actually had to flip a few annoying songs but luckily it gives the ability to change the track with a button during the game. Vita version runs well and loads quickly and it actually seems to control easier. Seems more tuned to Vita sticks than the PS4 but you might feel differently. Cross buy so you can try it yourself.… Expand

    Awesome pure arcade fun at its finest.
    Music is top-notch as well.
    We definitely need more of this stuff.

    Congratulations to the small team behind it.

    Boy, this game is good. A space shooter with sharp aesthetics, very precise and responsive controls, fast action and a really tough level of difficulty. The game constantly introduces new elements and challenges (Flappyridium!!!), the level design is imaginative and surprising, all for an honest price. Recommended.

    If you remember Uridium on the Commodore 64 and loved it buy this game. It's an excellent modern take that doesn't spoil the memory. It is a little tricky but really well put together. A modern classic that so many indy games claim to be ... This delivers. Great controls, good visuals and cross buy. Plays just as well on the vita. For me it's way better than resogun or velocity.

    It's an okay game, with a lot of just...better alternatives out there. Even on much older systems. This game has little variety, it's very challenging if you want to 100%, and even though sometimes you have no clue where you're about to shoot because there is no cursor, I still didn't feel as if the controls were clunky.

    This game has nothing really great in it, nearly impossible to complete, and the controls are awkward and the game is extremely unforgiving with no difficult option.

    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 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.
