VELOCITY 2X XBOX ONE PS4

Also, when you think you've got a handle on all the controls and getting good scores, Futurlab hits you with another mechanic and button to remember, all of which slows down your pace and forces you to really practice to try and do all the actions in a good time.ДЄbove all else it's the act of simply firing a weapon that's the most fun in Velocity 2X, and when you layer in all of the extra elements on top it just adds to the chaos, which is what Futurlab excels at. What always keeps things entertaining with Velocity 2X is that it never leaves you doing the same thing for too long if you're in one set of environments you're soon thrown into another one. In fact, due to the short levels (of which there are 50) and the arcade style of the game it suits the Switch perfectly, especially when handheld, just like it did on the PS Vita all those years ago. With all this chaos going on we're pleased to report that the Switch handles everything perfectly well, even when bullets and explosions litter the screen. Of course, elements are tacked onto that as you progress, including teleportation and bombs you can fire sideways and behind, but the core premise is all about moving forwards and shooting, making sure you stay on the screen as that's always moving forwards too. First off you've got your ship (called Quarp) for space travel and combat, which handles much like classic arcade games like Galaxian - you face forward, and you shoot stuff in front of you. It's all about the mechanics and the action the story is just a string to link all the levels together. It's not going to win any awards for storytelling, but trust us, you're not going into Velocity 2X for the story, just in the same way as you don't go into a game like Doom for the narrative either. Kai Tana who has been rebuilt after an accident and who is now light years away from her home and has to team up with a friend to try and escape. The basic premise is that you wake up as Lt. After all, Curve Digital is helping to bring the game to the Nintendo Switch, meaning a whole new audience can shoot 'em up four years after it first released.

Polished, smartly assembled and rarely short of ideas - one such concept is introduced just three levels before the end вЂ“ it compensates for its few shortcomings with style, confidence, and explosive pace.Back in 2012 we were treated to Futurlab's Velocity, which was then followed by Velocity Ultra and Velocity 2X, but since we missed the chance for a review for the latter when it first released in 2014 on the PS4 and PS Vita, we thought now was the best time to rectify that. If Velocity 2X serves as a reminder that less sometimes really is more, for the most part itвЂ™s an absolute delight. Most players will be happy to repeat the first few stages until they beat the par time, but as stages grow ever more complex and drawn-out, silver and bronze will begin to suffice. Similarly, the introduction of a handheld teleportation device, which at times requires pixel-perfect throws to land in the right spot, kills the gameвЂ™s momentum stone dead.

The more elaborate stages are fun to negotiate on a first attempt, but to speedrun? Not so much. So itвЂ™s a pity Futurlab seems so keen to disrupt that rhythm. Once you know a stage inside out, itвЂ™s properly thrilling to whizz through at high speed, achieving a sense of flow that can be dazzling to witness: it feels great, but it looks even better.
