    The similarities between Debris Infinity and Geometry Wars are purely superficial.

    Kick over a digital garbage can and a vector-style twin stick shooter will fall out. One that is inevitably compared to the original mini-game Geometry Wars; found inside the OG Xbox game Project Gotham Racing 2.

    Switch has one now — coming in a budget-friendly package called Debris Infinity available as a digital purchase from the Nintendo eShop for $4.99 (at the time of writing). The game comes to us via Spain-based developer SVC Games as their first game on the latest Nintendo hardware (the game is also available as an Early Access title on Steam for PC).

    Where Geometry Wars and its many clones use the basic “survive and score” methodology (and there is nothing wrong that) — sometimes the molds get broken and something fresh and new comes out of it; and that is what we see here.

    Firing up Debris Infinity for the first time, you are immediately aware that this isn’t a “nindie cash grab” budget title. From the first prompt and into the title screen you are treated to a very polished, fresh interface that shows the developer really spent the time to create a crisp, clean experience. While not unheard of in the Nindie universe — many budget/independent games with good game play suffer from plain or even non-existent user interface experiences.

    What separates this game from the clone-apparent is the insane amount of combo, multiplier, bonuses and how they work together as a system.

    You've played high octane twin-stick shooters - so I won't discuss basic game play. Do yourself a HUGE favorite and study the tutorial closely.

    Truth is? A couple niggles aside, this is one great game. The price is right, the play is solid, the presentation is polished as hell — and the developer has been communicative and responsive to fans and their requests and ideas. It plays equally well docked and portable (nearly an impossibility on the platform, honestly). You can play effectively with any combo of controllers.

    Most of the negatives I had with the game (no friends-only leaderboard, no HD rumble, et al) are already being addressed.

    This costs less than a gourmet cup of coffee. Don't spend time dwelling on whether to purchase - just do it.    … Expand

    Debris Infinity controls well, has a great soundtrack and displaying your world ranking in real time as your racks up really pushes you to play "one more run".

    Nice graphics, superb soundtrack and perfect playability for less than 6 euros. I can´t request nothing else.

    Debris Infinity is a great budget for the Nintendo Switch that doesn't feel like a budget title. The soundtrack is great to listen too and even my toddler keeps asking me to play the game where you shoot the rocks.

    Definitely worth the less than £5 price tag. This is the best twinstick on the switch by quite a margin. If you're a fan of geometry wars then stop reading this and go buy Debris Infinity right now. Music, graphics, and sounds are all perfect. Not enough modes/content would be my only negative.

    Solid twin stick shooter game. It accomplishes what it sets out to do, which is that it's main draw will be chasing a high score on the leader-boards. Whether it be the next person above you or just your previous score you're aiming to beat.

    At just $5, I feel you're getting more then what you paid for. I hope to see you on the leader-boards as you chase down my high score!    … Expand

    Debris Infinity does a very good job of being a pure arcade shooter. The shooting is thoughtful, since you're trying to balance abilities with quickly shooting enemies. The number of foes on-screen at any time makes the game difficult but not impossible, and the presence of both leaderboards and co-op for every mode provides a real incentive for another run, no matter how many times you've already died. Debris Infinity is a well-done pick-up-and-play shooter with a low $5 asking price, so it's easy to recommend for the Switch.

    Debris Infinity successfully brings the players back to a simpler time of arcade-style shoot'em ups, with its intuitive gameplay topped with multiplayer features. The game also adds some very necessary contemporary features, such as its very useful real time updated online leaderboards. Debris Infinity will have a harder time convincing players who are interested in aspects other than the 1980s revivalism and achieving high scores, but it does a competent job at what it proposes.

    Debris Infinity is an excellent arcade game. It stands out for its game modes, its style and its use of HD rumble. If you are a fan of classic arcade titles, you can not miss it.
