    A fine twin-stick shooter, Tachyon Project is good, solid entertainment that's worth whiling away a few hours with.

    Enjoyable and thrilling while it lasts but also all too short and a shade too easy for those with any sort of skill in the genre, it's one that will surely hit the spot to while away an afternoon. Just don't expect it to last all that much longer than that.

    Tachyon Project does enough things to make itself stand out against the bigger names in the genre and be competent, but falls short on doing much else to really rise above and beyond the kings of the category.

    In the end, Tachyon Project is a half-decent game that will appeal most to a select group of gamers. Despite boasting a unique take on incurred damage, the title’s slower pace and occasionally dull engagements hold it back from being as good as it could’ve been.

There is a huge variety of different enemies, which cause the player to switch tactics. Similarly, there are hundreds of different ways to customize your ship/program to your liking, as there are tons of different main weapons, secondary weapons and perks. The storyline is decent. The music is great.… Full Review »
