Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition might not be the best fun and quirky little game I’ve ever played before but it’s a good game and it provided me with quite a lot of enjoyment a lot of the time. What I really like about this game is that the gameplay on offer is really simple and there are no complicated mechanics that get in the way which means when the game is in full flow the fun factor is quite high. You will however have to get used to the game’s difficulty because at times it can be very difficult which does in turn make you get frustrated every now and then. Thankfully though the game does combat that by allowing you to upgrade your main weapon and without a doubt when you complete a level with this newly upgraded weapon you do get a great sense of achievement. An important aspect of this game is definitely how the controls perform and thankfully they perform really well. Throughout my time with the game the controls felt tight and responsive throughout and this allowed me to focus solely on the action without worrying whether the controls would let me down or not. Unfortunately the aiming system doesn’t perform as well as the controls and aiming often felt awkward which in turn contributed to some cheap deaths. This is why I recommend that you play this game in short bursts because the aiming system will get on your nerves quite quickly. Whilst the content that is available to you is pretty decent there just isn’t enough for you to sink your teeth into and a few more modes would have benefited this game greatly in my opinion because it would have given the game much more in terms of replayability. I must admit that I wasn’t expecting much from the presentation side of the game, but in the end the presentation aspect of the game ended up being one of my most favourite things. Visually the game ticked a lot of boxes for me and my favourite thing about the visuals is the amount of charm they had. The sound design also carries with it a lot of charm and when combined with the visuals it does enhance the gameplay somewhat. At the end of the day Lichtspeer: Double Speer Edition is a game that’s great for passing some time every now and then. It’s a game that doesn’t take itself too seriously and even though it has a few problems here and there it gets more things right than it gets wrong which in the end means it gets a thumbs up from me.… Expand

    Although its gameplay is good and offers good artistic design, this title is more focused on other devices and is too repetitive.

    The biggest offender in what affects this games overall experience is its repetitiveness. Sure new enemies are introduced often, but the one hit death mechanic can become quite frustrating. Having a dozen near useless abilities doesn’t help either when you learn which few overpowered ones to save up for instead. Unless you are longing for those Scorched Tank days from way back when, you may want to 'spear' clear until a decent sale.

    While both the difficulty and frame-rate issues hold Lichtspeer back from a perfect score, it's still a fantastic title that all indie players should play at least once.
