    At the end of the day Deep Space Rush on Xbox One is a fun little side-scroller to waste a couple of hours on before the magic wears off and other games start to tempt you back in.

    Deep Space Rush is a short game with some enjoyable, if not deep gameplay and is fine for its budget title release. The developers didn’t attempt to make a masterpiece and so they don’t ask for a lot of your money. Also, the publishers have a reputation for easy gamerscore and completions, and if that’s a motivator then the game doesn’t disappoint. Expect to enjoy the game for an hour or so before the lack of progression stifles the desire to keep playing.

Randomly generated content can make for a large amount of replayability that can help make a game last a lot longer. Deep Space Rush opts for the 2D side scrolling shooter structure. The goal is simple, aim to get as far as you can, using the wealth of weapons you find along the way, without dying. You have your jump, double jump, shoot button, and movement. You’re probably going to die, which will then give you the option of visiting the shop, where you can spend any money you collected on permanent upgrades such as more health, a more powerful weapon or the option to add items of RNG items. There’s no finishing the game as it's a basic arcade shooter, and there aren’t any alternate modes to mess around with. The visuals are retro inspired and pleasing to me although nothing great. For the low price of admission of Ratalaika games you can't really go wrong although this isn't one of their best in my humble opinion for the Xbox One. Full Review »

    Deeps Space Rush is a randomly generated space adventure where you drop into a area that is never the same. The traps, enemies , weapon locations are always in different spots. You will even go in different directions from left to right. Each trip is different , but your character is the same. You pick up coins to purchase upgrades that carry over each trip. You can upgrade weapons, health bar, shield, and turbo. It isn't to hard to upgrade as you pick up a lot of coins on each journey. You will also upgrade many of cool weapons. Like laser rifles, electric guns that move around the map, and even a bubble bobble type gun where enemies get trapped in and float way. That is my favorite of course. You can also pick up shields that protect you, and a turbo that makes you run fast. That didn't really come in handy to me as I mostly just got hit a lot trying to run past every thing.
    There are a bunch of different types of traps and enemies as well. Slugs fall from the ceiling and stick you your head converting your controls. Slugs that make the floor slimy and make it hard to run and jump. Slugs that explode and shoot projectiles.Monsters that charge after you, and some that even explode breaking the floor of the ship making a hole you can fall into for instant death. It is a lot of fast paced action, and loaded with replay value since you will want to improve your score as well as how many zones you progressed through. In that way it is like a lot of classic Atari games where it can be very addictive and frustrating.
    The look and feel is very retro with colorful backgrounds. It doesn't change a whole lot though. One of my few cons really would have liked to seen the scenery change up a little. The music is really rad though from HateBit. Really does an amazing job on this soundtrack. The achievements are really simple as you expect from Ratalaika games. I think you can complete this in about 20 minutes, but bet you still keep playing it. The achievements/trophies are mainly for advancing through zones and killing a certain amount of enemies, but there are also some for upgrading something to max, and for dying. A really simple completion making this another affordable must for achievement/trophy hunters.

    Pros: Colorful and bright backgrounds
    Lots of replay value
    Bunch of cool weapons and power ups
    Cool Chip tune soundtrack from Hatebit
    Easy Achievements and trophies

    Cons: Levels look repetitive after awhile

    Overall: 7.0 Another decent affordable pickup from Ratalaika to pad your gamer score , or just spend a evening with a affordable game.
