    Yes, it is short. But Geometry Wars 3 aside I haven’t had that much fun with a twinstick shooter in a while. Be wary of the spiking difficulty in the middle parts though where it moves from challenging to frustrating for a little while.

    Tachyon Project does not reinvent the wheel for twin stick shooters, but it does add some creative new tread that allows it to feel familiar yet fresh at the same time. There are plenty of modes, challenges and customisations to try out, so fans of the genre should have plenty to keep them busy throughout their time with it.

    If you like games a la Geometry Wars, Tachyon Project is a very interesting choice. Solid and fun, twin-stick shooters fans should definitely give it a try.

    Tachyon Project is a simple and immediate dual stick shooter based on interesting mechanics. Longevity is not its strong point, though.

    A solid Geometry Wars-like twin stick shooter, with some innovative elements like a timed countdown system, an interesting storyline and deep ship customization.

    Tachyon Project seems to take a lot of inspiration from Geometry Wars but puts its own spin on things. Taking cues from one of the best twin stick shooters ever made, isn’t a bad thing in the slightest.

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 »
