    In 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.

    Resogun 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.

    Fun, 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!

    This 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.

    Decent, 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.

    Fantastic game which honours Defender, respects it, brings it into the modern era. Everything about it is brilliantly done; it's smooth, playable, addictive, it looks incredible, the difficulty curve is so well-judged.

    Housemarque seem to have this ability to make games which are insanely addictive and challenging, yet so much fun they're never annoying. Nex Machina is another example.

    Played 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.

You fly across a series of rotating cylinder-shaped stages shooting at enemies while rescuing humans as a side-quest. It's optional, but by doing so you earn bonuses such as extra lives and bombs. You can only shoot horizontally (no 360 degrees shooting) so you also have to maneuver the ship to avoid enemies. Resogun isn't an original or groundbreaking game, but it's highly addictive and joyful to play. It's got great voxel-based 3D graphics (you can notice it especially when exploding parts of the stage with a bomb) and runs at 60 fps. The base game was rather short but it got expanded with a series of DLCs. The developers added, among other things, a ship editor (you can create a ship with the stats and shape of your choice), challenges, and a new mode called Defenders (you play as a ground-based human waiting to be rescued by a ship). You can even play in co-op in some of the modes. I wholeheartedly recommend Resogun to all retro arcade fans.… Expand

    As 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.

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

    I 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.

Aliens have invaded 5 planets and taken the last of the humans. Your mission is to destroy the aliens and save the remaining humans of each planet.

    The Levels are cylindrical, you move in circles through each stage which allows you to see what else is happening on other parts of the level. This is a refreshing approach that adds to the fun of the game as you will have to stay aware of your surroundings, such as keeping an eye on the humans that you will save, dodging falling debris from the galaxy and attacking enemies from all sides.

    The humans are locked in boxes and are only freed when you kill specific enemies called keepers highlighted in green. This frees the humans from the box, you will then have to pick them up and bring them back to safety pods which earns you points and upgrades.

    The controls are simple, you control your ship with the left analog stick and shoot with the right. you can only shoot left and right which fits perfectly for this type of game. The shoulder buttons are used for boosts , that speeds you through enemies, bombs that should be used only when necessary, and an overdrive power, which creates a powerful attack that destroys many enemies.

    The visuals are rich with many things happening at the same time without a drop in the frame rate, details such as the rain and lightning are impressive to look at while playing and the music fits well with the game play. The enemies are varied, with their own health and attacks. You fight a boss at the end of each level; however, not all boss fights are challenging.

    The multiplier system is engaging as you will have to keep your score up by firing at enemies to earn points. Not doing so for a couple of seconds brings your multiplier points back down, this system is tense and rewarding. It is a shame that Resogun is short because the game is addictive with a lot of replayability. You can even play the game coop offline and online. Resogun is a good game that succeeds in delivering a fast paced shoot em up that i worth your time.    … Expand

    I 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.

    By 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.

    The 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.

    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.

It's very hard if you play on tougher difficulty and the trophies are fun to get.. I platinumed the game and was proud of myself..

    My only problem with the game would be sometimes there is so much going on,on the screen that out of nowhere a bullet or something hits you and you cant see it through all the explosions and since this is a one hit kill game it can get frustrating, especially if you are trying to beat the game without losing all your lives.... Also sometimes when you are trying to get your multiplier up you can lose it from there being no enemies on the screen.. The game will have like 400 enemies attacking you at one time and the next minute there may not be any and it doesn't take long before your multiplier resets to 1.00.... Or it could be I just suck at getting my multiplier up.lol..

    The game is short with 5 levels but there is a lot of replayability especially if you are a trophy hunter. There are also leaderboards and 3 different ships to try with different strengths and weaknesses.

    I suggest everyone to at least give it a try.. I didn't think I was going to like this game before I tried it and I am glade I did because it is awesome..    … Expand

    While Resogun isn't a AAA game like Killzone: Shadow Fall is, I get just as much enjoyment out of playing Resogun than I would any AAA game.

    I don't normally play shoot-em-ups. Those games aren't really my thing. But when you make a SHMUP look THIS pretty, and you give it awesome yet very different ship types and level designs, I can't really help but LOVE this GAME.

    Sure, it's fun to beat the game once on EASY mode. since all you have to do is beat one level at a time with 3 lives each level. But it's a LOT more fun when you give yourself goals. Like "Beat the whole game on "Veteran" without losing your 3 lives and having to start the level over", or "Beat this level on "Experienced" without dying or losing your multiplier, AND saving all the humans". I do this all the time with Resogun, and without me even knowing it I realized I'm in the TOP 100 on the leaderboards on almost every level. I knew I was pretty good but I didn't know I was TOP 100 good!

    I can admit that for SOME people, this game may be a little short. Afterall, some people just like to beat the game and that's it. But honestly, I don't think you beat the game until you beat the game on at least Experienced difficulty without losing your 3 lives. Normally, if you lose your 3 lives by the 3rd level, it'll start you over at the 3rd level with another 3 lives. So I don't think it's fair to say you "Beat" the game if you lose those 3 lives every level.

    Resogun might not be for everyone, and it's a little short if you don't at least get 75% of the trophies. But even if YOU don't like it, that don't mean it's a bad game, it's just not your style of game. Because as far as SHMUPS go, this is the absolute BEST there IS to offer, PERIOD! So don't rate it badly just because it's a SHMUP, rate it on how good of a SHMUP it is.

    I can't give Resogun anything less than a 10/10!    … Expand

    This game defines the phrase "don't judge a game by its cover". Once you play this game you don't stop.

    Resogun - a Beautiful Blow'Em Up

    Resogun is one of the most fun video game experiences I've had in a while. This is a subjective opinion, of course, since I've always enjoyed these spaceship shooter types and I haven't played a good one for some time. Learning curve: Resogun presents its player with frenetic action with several ships, shots and explosions on screen at the same time.    Resogun - a Beautiful Blow'Em Up

    Resogun is one of the most fun video game experiences I've had in a while. This is a subjective opinion, of course, since I've always enjoyed these spaceship shooter types and I haven't played a good one for some time.

    Learning curve:
    Resogun presents its player with frenetic action with several ships, shots and explosions on screen at the same time. And while this is a tremendously fun and rewarding experience when you call pull things off right it can also be extremely frustrating when you're still trying to get the hang of things.
    You see, the player is not only tasked to essentially blow everything that moves and shoots against you but also save 10 humans in each level.
    These 10 humans all start imprisoned within a cage and it's the player's task to open them and safely deliver the humans to a rescue ship.
    The only problem with this is that there are very little in game clues to how exactly do you get the humans out of their cages. Don't get me wrong, the game does provide some clues but in the middle of frenetic action where staying alive is already a demanding task, I found that noticing these clues was rather hard.

    However, once you understand the mechanics behind the game everything will go much smoother.

    Graphics:
    Resogun is very simplistic in its presentation but it contains also a lot of eye-candy components.
    When I say simplistic, I mean that most of the game's models are made out of cubes. Yes simple cubes and yet it's so well made that it took me some gaming hours to realize this. Unlike Minecraft, Resogun doesn't have a "shove a cube in your sight because it simplifies our development process" attitude. The cubes are very well organized and presented in a way that it is never a sore to the eyes and frankly it's quite hard to notice that they're just cubes.

    Each one of its levels has a theme and everything in it (enemies, background and bosses) are designed to match that theme.

    The best part of Resogun's presentation is, by far, its particle system. The explosions are just gorgeous and there are so many flying little pieces of what used to be a horde of enemies when you blow them up. It's quite spectacular!

    Gameplay:
    There are 3 ships to choose from in Resogun: Nemesis (very agile with high turbo and low overdrive), Ferox (balanced agility, turbo and overdrive) and Phobos (low agility and turbo and high overdrive). Agility represents how fast a ship can move, turbo makes your ship go faster and ends in an explosion and Overdrive is a special attack where the ship emits arcs of lighting that destroy everything in their path.
    The Turbo feature in a ship represents how fast turbo regenerates and how long it lasts and the Overdrive feature in a ship represents how far these lightning arcs go, how long Overdrive mode lasts and how fast you regenerate the Overdrive bar.
    When using either Turbo or Overdrive your ship becomes invincible and that's something to have in mind in the higher difficulty settings.
    This means that Turbo can be used to escape a harsh situation but it can also be used offensively since you'll destroy any enemy (except for bosses) you hit while in Turbo mode.

    Each ship has its own upgradeable firing method as well. Nemesis has homing missiles that are great for crowd control, Ferox gets a wider shooting area and Phobos has a very powerful shot (with smaller very short range wide spread shots) that is great to take down the bosses.

    There are only 5 levels in the game that won't take up too much of your time if you play Resogun in the easier difficulty settings. These levels have high replay value which confers some longevity to the game.
    The levels can be played either solo or in the 2 player co-op mode. The co-op mode isn't anything groundbreaking but it's a very nice and fun addition and it offers a bit of variety.
    The co-op mode, however, can only be played on-line which, for me, was a bit of a disappointment since this game cries out for a split-screen mode.
    Unfortunately, when I played on-line, there weren't that many other players so getting into a game was a bit of a hassle and when I did manage to play a game, my partner had tendency to quit the game after just one level.

    Verdict:
    All things considered, Resogun is a very enjoyable game that provides some hours of a screen full of action packed explosions and mayhem. I highly recommend it to any fan of this genre in spite of its learning curve and lack of offline co-op.

    PS.: I'm a proud holder of Resogun's Platinum Trophy.    … Expand

    The basic premise is to get the highest score via staying alive, saving humans by eliminating "keepers" which are enemies that typically appear in groups and only stay on screen for a short time, then collecting those humans before they are killed and returning them to a safe point, all while trying to keep your combo meter from resetting. You get about 5 seconds to shoot something before you lose your combo. The game is played on a cylindrical map so you essentially are just going in circles, which is nice for seeing what is coming and going around you. The easier difficulty levels can become a bit boring, but are great for learning the game. Once you get to the later veteran levels and any of the master difficulty levels it becomes a frantic and pleasantly frustrating experience. It is not easy on master. I repeat, it is NOT easy. I have restarted the first level a good 40 times in the last day since I am pushing myself to get a perfect run on master. The boss fights are fun and can become challenging. The game is great for fans of the R-Type or Gradius series'. And the best part if the price. It is completely free at this point. Whether or not they will release any paid content later is anyone's guess, but for now it is free. I strongly suggest you check it out. If you are a casual gamer that just plays CoD, GTA, and BF then you may be disappointed, but any gamer that really likes a simple, yet addictive and challenging experience should give this a go.    … Expand

    Great old school fun with a new school sound and look, this is my go to game when I just want to feel like I'm at the arcades again, it also has co-op but I didn't try it yet, the single player is a lot of fun and offers a nice variety of ways to tackle stages.

    I 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.

    If your looking for a throwback with a next-gen twist, Resogun is a great addition to any PS4 library.

    An 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!

    I 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.

    Hardcore 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.

    A 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...

    Resogun is a downloadable crack of the best variety. Buy it. [January 2014, p76]

    An excellent classic shoot 'em up in the vein of Defender. Very pretty, very challenging.
