    I bought the game thinking it was going to be like Hyper void/Tempest, but its nothing like those two, well it does have one similarity to hyper void and that's in the environmental obstacles. Besides that the shooting style is more like Rez mixed with Laserlife. The hybrid is interesting, Its fun, and very challenging.

    Speed through stunning, stylised environments tracing ribbons of light, releasing the energy in the music. Battle strange enemies and fight epic boss battles all driven by an incredible licensed soundtrack.

    Getting into the rhythm
    Aaero is a rhythm based twin stick shooter game... sortve Here you only use the two joy sticks to trace the lines of the song , and the right joy stick to lock onto enemies and the trigger to fire.. that’s it as this game takes you on a journey through 18 different tracks, chasing scores and stars to unlock the next,,, though is star and score chasing    Aaero
    Getting into the rhythm
    Aaero is a rhythm based twin stick shooter game... sortve
    Here you only use the two joy sticks to trace the lines of the song , and the right joy stick to lock onto enemies and the trigger to fire..
    that’s it as this game takes you on a journey through 18 different tracks, chasing scores and stars to unlock the next,,,
    though is star and score chasing isn’t for you, there is a chill mode with all tracks already unlock for you…
    At first Aaero is a bit of a thrill...
    its so addicting tracing along to the beat of this electro music, blasting enemies when they would pop up…
    even more so when bosses would pop up and youre trying to take them out while making sure youre not hit by other enemies or run into obstacles as youre only allowed 3 hits before you fail a track…
    I was in love with this game…
    Sadly though it just doesn’t do enough during its around 3 hour campaign to keep my interest
    There were only a handful of songs i enjoyed tracing along to.. Which is a preference thing, I get that…
    But level design is just too samey… its no thumper where things are constantly changing up and feeling different..
    you don’t feel like much cool is being done around you aside from the boss battles which is a disappointment…
    and for that reason its hard to be drawn in.. its hard for the game to keep your attention when it just starts to feel like more of the same despite the game getting more challenging is it goes on…
    however the challenge comes in the enemies and not necessarily the song… which I feel is a mistake… slowly aaero becomes more about shooting and surviving and less about going along to the rhythm of the song playing in the background…
    Aaero is still super enjoyable at times..
    it made me smile plenty throughout my journey of unlocking the next difficulty..
    It’s just that by time I got to the end of the campaign I wasn’t really interested in playing through again
    I give Aaero

    Wow! Unquestionably one of the best indie games I ever played. So much fun, I wish there were more tracks.

    Quel jeu !!!! Un savant mélange de Rez pour la partie "jeu musical avec shoot", Thumper pour la partie réflexe à avoir, et Panzer Dragoon pour les boss, ce jeu est fait pour vous. Personnellement je n'ai plus lâché la manette une fois la partie débutée.
    La bande son est une tuerie (à jouer au casque ou sur un home cinéma de qualité), le jeu est hyper addictif et le concept simple mais    Quel jeu !!!!

    J'y ai joué sur Series X (via le gamepass) et je l'ai fini. Je tente le 100% mais déjà en normal, y a de quoi avoir du challenge, donc en mode plus difficile ça va être le délire.
    Son seul défaut ? "que" 14 niveaux. On aimerait en avoir tellement plus !!!!

    Bravo à ce petit studio et merci pour cette oeuvre d'art.    … Expand

    I love this rhythm game, it's very unique and very fun. It gets quite difficult very fast, though.

    A proposal so stimulant as lysgergic. Mad Fellows had achieve to combine shoot-'em up, rhythm games and electronic music in a mix worthy of the best Skrillex.

    Aaero offers a music game in the same spirit as Rez did over 15 years ago. Featuring a wide array of modern electronica tunes, it's a game that can appeal to all fans of the genre and anyone who simply wants to relax and enjoy a game focused on music. The gameplay is fun, coming in two different forms. While each of these two gameplay types has its issues, they're ultimately both fun and it's easy to look past the issues. The environments you'll play through add to the variety of the experience and keep things fresh. There is a crippling performance issue that can be frustrating, but it's rare enough that it doesn't entirely ruin the game. Aaero is a fun game that will be worth the time of anyone intrigued by the concept or fans of electronica. At US$14.99 at launch, the price is about right for eight solid hours of gameplay if you're going for the completion, and leaderboards should ensure there's more to do even past that.

    By trying to diversify the experience that Aaero delivers, Mad Fellows has created a game that’s certainly different, but often feels like a game of two parts, and unfortunately one of those isn’t that impressive at all.
