While these surfaces open up a lot of potential options for play, they bring a big problem with them. Controls are relatively tight though they’re just floaty enough that they take a little getting used to. You move freely around the levels, gliding smoothly over a variety of surfaces. Some feel like a planet, others like a twisting track, while others seek to combine a variety of shapes in a way that is difficult to describe. They come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Think Mario Galaxy, except the levels aren’t all planetoid. The big change in Curved Space is that all of the game’s levels are curved. It tries things in the twin-stick genre, which I haven’t seen before, and I appreciate the risks the developers took. Different isn’t inherently good or bad it is only different. Taking a risk and trying something different can be great, but it is easy to fall into the trap of assuming anything different is good. We play a lot of familiar titles, so when something comes along which feels unique, it stands out.

#THE CURVED SPACE CODE#
*Game Download Code graciously supplied for the purpose of review Curved Space July 2021 Maximum Games Nicolas Dunai nintendo switch Nintendo Switch eShop Only By Midnight reviews shooter I love shootemups, and seeing Curved Space make a good one, especially in 3D. It’s a bit of a slow start with the tutorial and getting used to the curves, but once you get in the groove, Curved Space is great fun. All of this can be uploading online to show off your score too. Completely unrelated genre, but it’s definitely something I loved about some of the Professor Layton games. Any “new challenge every day” mode in any game is a guarantee to keep players hooked.
There’s the Arena, to replay a random part of the campaign, a survival mode, and last but not least, Daily Run. Say you’re done with the campaign? There’s a trove of replayability in Curved Space. Even extending to having branching paths in the game’s main campaign mode. It’s much of a play your way kind of game. Curved Space throws a bunch of little mechanics at you to remember though, The game has a level up system, with stat boosts and the like. Thankfully, Curved Space has fantastic music.Ĭurved Space has a bit of a lengthy, restrictive tutorial, which lately I’ve found myself not having the patience for.
I also (and I’m sure people are sick of me saying it) of the camp that needs a good shootemup to have equally good music Or at least music that fits the mood. When a game does this, the music better be worth my time. One of the game’s advertised features is it’s music. Another big mechanic, which took me a tad to get the hang of, but feels great once you get to it is tethering bugs either together or to energy syphons.
#THE CURVED SPACE FULL#
Collect enough energy from those nasty critters and you can go full on Devil Trigger and do insane damage, making powered up versions of every action and weapon. On top of all of that, you can get into an overdrive mode. It feels so good to use the weapons and just totally wreck some stuff up. You get the standard missiles, machineguns, shotguns, etc… Then you get homing shots, shots that curve around, some more upclose weapons like my personal favorite, a big saw blade, weed whacker. There are a lot of weapons, not just reskins either. This is where the fun part of Curved Space comes in. Big alien bugs seem to be becoming more common and common each day, maybe they’re getting sick of people being told to eat them.
Your goal, more often than not is to be an exterminator of sorts. This gives me some mad F-Zero vibes and I am all for that. The arenas can get incredibly disorientating with how well…curved they get, but it makes something interesting and it’s better than just a flat track. You’re put in small-ish areans, usually looking like a planet, a race track, or some odd shape, and given lots of bugs to destroy. Always my idea of a good time.Ĭurved Space is very much an accurate descriptor of the game. It’s kind of like an arena shooter mixed with a shootemup, with a lot of weapons.
