May 20, 2023In 1995 Super Dropzone on the SNES was basically Defender: The Next Generation and Resogun is essentially Super Dropzone: The Next Generation. Explosions galore and frantic alien-shooting/human rescuing with a pleasingly old school visual style, this would be fantastic stuff on a handheld but on the PS4 I expect a little more. Good fun is short bursts but a little lacking in substance.

Jun 27, 2022Resogun is one of Housemarque's best games to date. It's addicting and inventive and offers more than enough content to satisfy a good while.
-
Apr 7, 2021Fun, bright and challenging! The only downfall of this game is how fast it can be completed, maybe this is a chance for a series to grow into something big!
-
Nov 10, 2020Best launch title for the PS4 looking back. Gameplay is Fast, addicting and extremely fun.
-
Nov 9, 2020This game is relatively short but it is packed with action as a side scroller shooter. The platinum in this game is also relatively easy and can be done from start to finish in less than 12 hours. If you are into bullet hell type of games and enjoy shooting from a space ship this game is for you.
-
Aug 26, 2020Very good. And it was for free i think on Ps4 Lunch.Its like you playing super cool game from Arcade times but even better ;)
-
May 15, 2020Decent, reasonably enjoyable but short game (~2 hours play if you're not interested in going for high scores or through difficulty levels). Plays smoothly and the music suits the game but for me personally, doesn't have much replay value. Not in the same league as Super Stardust HD.

Nov 25, 2019Played the hell out of Resogun. It was addictive and so much fun.
My only cretinism to the studio is that tried to milk the success of the game by trying to sell you content that should've been included in the already very short game to start with. -
May 17, 2019Damn, look at them particles. Particles, particles, particles, particles. Particles!

Jul 25, 2018de lo mejor que tuvo PS4 en sus comienzos, y de lo mejor que ha dado el plus hasta ahora
juego tanto solo como cooperativo, buena jugabilidad y banda sonora pegadiza
muy rejugable y un platino con reto y diversión a partes iguales -
Sep 9, 2017I have never put so much time into one game in my life. I've been playing this for over a year now and I'm still learning. I can see myself playing it for another year!
-
Jul 13, 2017Really liked the game! A great shooter with stunning and colorful visual effects, graphics, sound design. Downright addictive and never lets go. Recommend!
-
Apr 29, 2017Addictive space shooter that's lots of fun to play! Colorful graphics, energetic music, superb mechanics, and challenging levels make this a console classic and a must have any PS4 owner!
-
Mar 31, 2017As a launch title, it must have been fine when compared to the few releases at the time. Now a few years past, it is nothing spectacular. Thankfully the PS4 was able to acquire better exclusives.
-
Mar 25, 2017Tolles Spiel! Macht süchtig! Bin beim Suchen nach zu "Aqua Kitty Milk Mine Defenders" auf Resogun gestoßen. Spielemechanik ist die gleiche. Wem das eine gefallen hat, wird das andere auchgefallen. Als einen DLC kann man auch noch einen Menschen spielen der sein Haus verteidigt - gaaaanz toll.
-
Mar 10, 2017Really enjoying this game on my new PS4. I play this with my kids every night. It's graphical presentation is gorgeous. And it is challenging enough to make us try over and over again.
-
Mar 6, 2017This is really awesome game for the Playstation 4. One of the first games i got for the system and still one of my favorites for it. Well worth a purchase.
-
Nov 15, 2016This is a great great game. The return to the great arcade shooters using the potential of the PS4! JUST GREAT! My first ps4 title at launch and I did play it again later on PS3 and VITA to get that super Platinum trophy once again!
-
Jul 14, 2016Resogun really got me when I started going through list of it's trophies and executing them. I had the game sitting in my games list on ps4 for about 3 months and played a little bit during that time, not too much; but when my trophy fever started I played the hell out of it and got the Platinum in the end. Really good game - good job housemarque
-
Mar 9, 2016I remember playing this game back on launch day, good times. Still a great game, just needs more players. Graphics are nice and it can be challenging with a friend.

Jan 25, 2016I was not a fan of Resogun. I found the gameplay too repetitive, which killed it for me. The game has a great art style, and the fast-paced gameplay feels nice, but it only kept my attention for a very short while, and after that I felt myself playing the game like a zombie hoping something new would happen. The game is very arcade-y. The game is definitely for some people, just not me.
6.0/10 -

Dec 10, 2015Well this is pure perfection for me. Starting with excellent smooth gameplay and controls finishing on really nice challenge and pure fun flowing at You straight out of the screen. This is essentially what the video game should be.

Aug 26, 2015RESOGUN is a visceral fast-paced shoot em' up developed exclusively for the PS4 system. Unleash a varied array of devastating weapons including lasers, missiles, overdrive, and nova-bombs to blast hordes of enemies and rescue the last survivors from distant galactic colonies that are under ruthless attack from an evil alien invasion force.

Jun 9, 2015Load game, destroy waves, save humans, win trophies. Massively fun and addictive. At $8 on the PSN store it's a steal. The expansions are also quite fun.
-
Apr 24, 2015Was free with the PS+, I was not disappointed, I even played to unlock the platinum trophy because this game is all about challenges and skills. But let's be honest, nobody bought a PS4 for RESOGUN

Nov 18, 2014Outstanding launch title for the PS4, and a game to keep everyone waiting for the newest game for this console. With great visuals and difficulty, it takes the bad out of everything.
-
Nov 14, 2014Had fun with this one but beat it too quickly - few hours. Replay wasn't fun enough for me to beat it twice. Too bad because it sounds and looks great - gameplay just doesn't keep up. Get it when on sale.
-
Nov 11, 2014Resogun is a shoot 'em up original. You can play two players on different levels. Several levels of difficulty can increase the challenge.
Graphics 7/10
Music 7/10
Gameplay 7/10
My overall score is 7 -

Sep 21, 2014I got this game for free from my PS+ membership. So for free, it is a fun little indie game that is fun for a few minutes at the time. It has a cool arcade style to it, but I would not pay money for it.
-
Aug 25, 2014By far the best game on the ps4. The gameplay is fast, crazy and tense.The soundtrack is incredible and the level designs are stunning with enemies bursting into thousands of mini cubes. There is also an addictive aspect of climbing the leader boards to keep you hooked.
-
Aug 24, 2014Resogun is an awesome game on the Playstation 4. It is easily one of the best launch titles for the system. The gameplay is fun and fair, and the graphics are great. This is definitely one to play.
-

Jul 21, 2014Not a lot to say.. It's a hell of a lot of fun and gets your blood pumping. Fairly short but with its leaderboards and challenges has enough of replay value,It's a psn-game abd should be rated as such. Top notch.
-
Jun 24, 2014The concept seems simple but testing your reflexes in this visually-pleasing dystopian landscape sure keeps me entertained. It was one of the first games I showed off to those who were on the fence with XB1 and PS4. The fact that there are games like this on the PlayStation Network make the indy games like ResoGun such an added bonus.

Jun 22, 2014This is a great game! It's a must for any PS4 owner. The game features outstanding graphics/visuals, and addicting, polished gameplay. It's also very simple, so that anyone can pick up the DualShock 4 controller, and start shooting the enemies.
-
Jun 11, 2014The game is different from what I thought it would be but it turned out a little better than I expected. The gameplay is a lot weirder than I thought. But when i got the hang of it, it became a lot of fun. Its definitely not a game that I would play for hours on end, but for a very reasonable amount of time to enjoy it!
-
Jun 10, 2014The best game on PS4 for a long time. I played it through approximately 5 times and learned more each time. It has the best graphics of any of the launch and 2013 games (as far as indie or small purchase). The controls were amazing and great utilization of colours and sound on the controller.
-
May 29, 2014Graphics: 5.0 Sound: 7 Gameplay: 7.5 Fun/Story: 6.0
I don´t understand some user reviews saying this is a great game. I admit there are some good aspects like music and gameplay but it´s too equal, too similar of itself. I prefer play Menace (released in 90´s for PC) rather than Resogun. -

Apr 9, 2014Resogun is a very solid shooter with a lot of great music. I got a little bored with the game after about 3 hours with it, but for a free game, you can't pass it up.
-
Apr 3, 2014Crazy, fast paced, old skool fun! Challenging, beautiful and dynamic; Resogun is the ideal game for when when you want to feel epic and blast aliens for 10 minutes.
-
Mar 25, 2014This game defines the phrase "don't judge a game by its cover". Once you play this game you don't stop. You will love this game once you start playing it and the difficulties change it up every time including the bosses getting harder with more hit points and moves they throw at you. Play with friends too. They help on harder difficulties especially master.
-
Mar 24, 2014It was free so I shouldn't really complain but apart from it being visually exciting it really lacked the charm and addictiveness of Super Stardust HD.
-
Mar 24, 2014Stunning, fast, addictive, re-playable, fun an excellent welcome to the next gen, if you have ps plus don't doubt play this game, try to beat the master difficult can be quite challenging but very rewarding
-
Mar 22, 2014This game is nothing special except for that gorgeous particle effect which I soon felt eye-tired of.
The gameplay is too short(normally within 2 hours for casual player), which is fine considering it is free for PS Plus members. -
Mar 21, 2014
-
Mar 19, 2014Amazingly addictive and challenging Resogun provides a real sense of enjoyment and is a must buy for the PS4.
While being both rewarding and on higher levels, totally unforgiving, the game is a perfect balance of being a great feat and yet highly rewarding. -
Mar 19, 2014Jogo Viciante,bem desafiador,graficamente lindo cenarios variados,inimigos variados
bom multiplayer coop alem de tudo its free!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -
Mar 17, 2014EXCEPTIONAL - With varying difficulties, the game is a good way to compete with yourself, and others. The art style is beautiful and the mechanics work amazing. I wish the game had more levels but since I have some friends that beat my scores, i'll focus on being better than them. If you're competitive, this is a great game to be competitive with.
-
Mar 17, 2014The gameplay is accessible, addictive intense and fun. The particle effects are extraordinary and the soundtrack is great. The best PS4 launch game and an overall great game.
-
Mar 10, 2014Housemarque has a history of making good games, and Resogun is no exception. It has tight shooter mechanics, a nice difficulty curve, and beautiful audio/visuals.

Feb 25, 2014I really enjoy it! It's fun and addicting but if you go for the 100% completion you're gonna have a bad time... Hard as hell to get 1cc and the 15 multiplier trophy
-

Feb 22, 2014This game is good. Not exceptional, not terrible, but for free - you can't go wrong. All of the particles falling from the screen at one time is quite impressive, though the game is not addictive, and i don't see myself going back to play again too soon.
-

Feb 20, 2014Very repetitive and quite boring. It's okay but I get tired of quickly. Average graphics, horrible music. Very level looks the same, just as most enemies.

Feb 12, 2014It's like playing le old games, but with colorful graphics and cool visual effects. It's like play for fun, and agility, the game is awesome (really awesome), but it's kind of short.

Feb 4, 2014I am not much of a shooter game guy, but this is a simple fun game to pick up. Easy controls and concept. It does get harder as you go, so don't think it's a walk in the park. I consider this game to be a "break" game. A game that is fun enough to enjoy while you take a break from a bigger game. I do recommend this game to the casual gamer. Also has online multiplayer.

Jan 28, 2014This game is amazing. The visuals are very impressive, there is a significant amount of strategy to the gameplay, and chasing high scores between your friends is really fun and addicting.

Jan 22, 2014What can I say about Resogun, it is the best Indi game on the PS4 at the min and there are explotions everywhere you look. The game looks great and I can't recomend this game enough.

Jan 21, 2014I love this game. I keep coming back for more, even if it's only for a few minutes. It's simple and addictive, hard as hell at higher difficulty levels. For me, this is the best launch title for PS4. And it looks fantastic. When you finish a level, the 'Armageddon' sequence will wow you every single time.

Jan 20, 2014An old school type game with a next gen feel and look to it. Being able to play with your friends, compete with them or against them trying to beat their score. What more do you want. I'm hooked for life!
-
Jan 19, 2014I played this game and it was fun, I remember back in the day when I was a youngster and in my teen years I would have loved this. But now I am a 45 year old gamer and I need something with a bit more story line and strategy with it. But this game is probably loads of fun...for younger gamers and some older ones may like it also, just not my cup of tea or should I say game.
-
Jan 18, 2014Simple, fun and addictive arcade shooter that is free for Playstation plus members. There's really nothing why you should not like this game!

Jan 16, 2014Hardcore old school game. Best game on ps4 and best shooter since Blazing Lazers for TurboGrafx-16 back in 1989. Save the last human get er done. The use of the controller speaker is a nice touch as well. This is free with PS Plus so You have nothing to loose giving it a shot.
-
Jan 16, 2014Resogun its a great game and the gameplay its amazing. You got variety of options and the gameplay mechanic and controlls are easy. I recommend this game to everyone that owns a PS4.
-
Jan 16, 2014A game based on skill, Resogun is probably if not the best, one of the best of its genre. It redefines it, brings a whole lotta cool ideas on the table, looks amazing and unique and is one of the best PS4 launch titles.
The only drawbacks is that it has only five stages and on co-op it kinda looks chaotic (both in a good and a bad way).
Addictive as hell. Save the last humans...
