    Fun, fast, and addictive. Pushing hard to get all trophies. Easily a 10 especially given the price. Everyone should pick it up, you won't regret it.

    For what this game is supposed to be it's definitely a 10. There is absolutely no excuse for giving it anything less, unless the complaint is it's length. This game is pure eye candy and it's challenging as hell.

    At the U.S. launch I got Killzone, Call of Duty, and Battlefield 4. As a perk for buying the PS4 we got Resogun and Contrast for free. While I enjoyed all these games (minus Contrast which I haven't tried) my favorite so far is Resogun, I love this game and I can't stop playing it even after getting the platinum trophy for it.

    The game is very simple and yet so hard. You fly in one of    At the U.S. launch I got Killzone, Call of Duty, and Battlefield 4.

While I enjoyed all these games (minus Contrast which I haven't tried) my favorite so far is Resogun, I love this game and I can't stop playing it even after getting the platinum trophy for it.

    The game is very simple and yet so hard. You fly in one of three ships that you can choose, in spherical stages. Enemy ships will spawn and you've got to kill them before they kill you. There's five stages, each with their own unique enemies. Each stage has ten humans that are being held captive and it's up to you rescue them. Each human that is rescued gives you either a points bonus, a shield, an extra life, or a bomb. You rescue humans by killing the keepers (they glow green) or by reaching a specific amount of multiplier, which opens up a cage and a human hops out and you have to pick them up and carry them to a transporter. Each stage ends with a boss fight, and the bosses are fun and challenging depending on which ship you chose.

    The graphics are simply amazing and the music is perfect for this game. The developers have said that the PS3 isn't powerful enough to play this game. The music is so good and it keeps you pumped up and helps you stay awake and alert. The music reminds me of the soundtrack from Tron: Legacy.

    There's 5 difficulty levels (rookie, experienced, veteran, master, hero) so if the default experienced difficulty is too hard for you then you'll probably enjoy rookie more. The only level I haven't tried yet is hero because even though I platinumed this game I'm still not good enough to unlock hero, you have to beat Master without using continues which is really hard to do. I'm practicing every day to improve my skills so that I can unlock hero. Also competing against your own personal records and the records from the world's top players is a ton of fun although I'm scared of what's going to happen once the Japanese get their hands on this game on February 22, 2014    … Expand

    The 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.

    When I saw this game would be free I was excited because I've always liked shooters. What I didn't know was this would become my favorite game of all the launch titles. Fast paced, support fun. And there are tons of tiny nuances to getting the high score. It all adds up to be an unmissable experience

    Resogun is crack. Plain and simple. Gameplay is intense and sufficiently challenging, with the boss levels being extra difficult. Online co-op is a blast as well. The visuals, however, have stuck with me all weekend long, even when I'm not playing the game. Best launch title, IMHO.

    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.

    Actually one of the best on the PS4 and a PS4 exclusive, the game is beautiful with explosions and voxels or whatever they're called all over the screen.

    Game is simple, Save the humans is your only objective but on the hardest difficulty, the game can get ridiculously hard. Game has the option of Co-op too

This game however, held my attention for much, much longer. scales very well with each level and each difficulty setting.

    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.

    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

    Great game that comes FREE for PS+ subscribers. Excellent visuals and sound, fun to play but not a typical blockbuster game. It really resembles Super Stardust. This game can get a bit boring very quickly as you get the point rather early. Since it's free no real debate here. And if you don't have PS+, get it now.

    One of the most addicting and frustratingly hard games of the next generation games. The visuals are stellar, and the controls are tight and responsive. Everything you can ever ask for in an arcade style game.

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

    What a brilliantly free surprise for buying the PS4 early! It brings back memories of arcade hall nostalgia with a slick simplicity that is utterly addictive. I've yet to turn on the console without playing it and smile likea 12 year old boy during most of my sessions with it. It's a lesson to devs that you don't have to reinvent a game to be fun AND next gen. One of my favs this year!

With jaw dropping visuals and a solid soundtrack, Housemarque has redefined the shooter genre. And if you are a PS plus member, you can purchase this for Free ninety nine. Download this game now.

    Out of all the games I am currently playing on Playstation 4 right now, Resogun has taken the most of my time. The gameplay is fun and addictive with extremely high replay value.

    This 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.

    Housemarque se gradúa como el estudio especializado en shooters actuales, al presentarnos una buena mezcla de gameplay clásico con gráficas modernas.

    Este es uno de los títulos de lanzamiento para el PS4, el cual se podría decir que es una secuela espiritual al Super Stardust HD que viéramos en PS3, solo que ahora deja los planetas esféricos para convertirlos en mapas cilíndricos en 2 dimensiones.

    Gráficamente el juego luce increíble, destacando los excelentes efectos de luz, demostrando el potencial de la consola al tener cientos de partículas en pantalla, cada una con diferente densidad, luz, sombra, intensidad y profundidad.

    Un título que puede no ser muy accesible para los jugadores más jóvenes, ya que representa un verdadero reto, delimitando el número de vidas y lanzándonos en contra de miles de enemigos, haciéndonos recordar esos arcades “de navecitas” que estuvieran de moda en los 80’s e inicios de los 90’s.

    Haciendo honor a sus antecesores, olvidémonos del apartado gráfico y concentrémonos en el gameplay, el cual es el punto fuerte de Resogun, con controles simples, los cuales son muy accesibles para cualquier tipo de jugador, solo que necesitarás práctica y técnica si quieres llegar a dominarlos, lo cual será necesario para poder terminar cada nivel al 100%.

    El objetivo del juego es simple, eliminar a todos los enemigos que aparezcan en cada nivel, tratando a su vez de rescatar a los humanos que se encuentran atrapados, siendo este punto algo clave para el desarrollo del juego, ya que si bien no es necesario rescatarlos para completar el nivel, existe un marcador en la parte superior, donde podemos ver cuantos hemos salvado, haciendo esto una prioridad para todo aquel que quiera terminar los niveles de una forma “perfecta” y haciéndonos las cosas más complicadas al intentar rescatarlos a todos.

    Con un soundtrack electrónico, Resogun logra mantenernos con un ritmo acelerado en todo momento, manteniendo así el nivel de tensión, y atención, al máximo.

    Si bien no podemos decir que sea una muestra de lo que nos espera en la Next-Gen, cumple el cometido de ser un juego divertido y versátil, pudiendo ser casual para el que así lo quiera, y hardcore para los que deseen intentar completarlo en las dificultades más altas.

    Resogun se encuentra disponible en la PlayStation Store por $15 dólares o de manera gratuita para todos los que tengan su cuenta de PlayStation Plus.

    I think the best part about Resogun are the bosses. Each boss works like a puzzle and you have to figure out where to shoot and how to avoid projectiles. The game may be short on levels, but you may find yourself repeating the same levels, trying to save all of the human or achieving a high score (which I find useless nowadays because the leaders on every game are always 999,999,999,999 points.

Unlike some of these extreme raters on here I won't be giving any 10s or 0s, 1s, 2s just because I did or did not like it so it will get the highest rating that I will give to a game that isn't life changing or revolutionary.
    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.

    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.

    Amazingly 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.

    Not 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.

    Outstanding 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.

    There isnt much to this game, but thats why i love it. Remember Galaga? Move shoot, move shoot go for high score? Thats it. Same thing in Resogun. Now add amazing graphics, great boss fights, and loads of difficulties that lets face it, most of us will never even see.
    The only downside is there isnt more. We need more levels, more ships, more items or more humans! Theres just what you get    There isnt much to this game, but thats why i love it.

The game is really addictive and always wants you to push harder to get the trophies and new high scores. The new modes they've added make the game really worth its value,but the other modes are unlocked if you buy the other dlc which is bummer. The game also includes a ship editor which makes you create your own ships and download other people's ships from the online fourms in-bulit in the game. Overall the game is must buy and really is a great action game , with great old school vibes. A must Buy!… Expand

    I 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.

    Load 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.

    Resogun is great. I actually felt weird when the PS4 launched because I bought big launch titles like Killzone but didn't even open the package for a long time because I was so into Resogun. Great soundtrack/effect and intense gameplay. This can really get addictive if you start trying to push your limits and get to those high score multipliers. I believe I got it for free but this game isResogun is great.

    Resogun is a great 2D arcade twin stick shooter from Housemarque, inspired by the classic arcade shoot-em-up Defender.

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

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