Sektori is good if you like twin-stick shooters. It’s kind of like Geometry Wars: The Next Generation. It has a nice flashy arcade/Robotron feel to it, and also reminds me of that Pac-Man game where the walls keep moving around.
I’m playing it on PS, but here’s the Steam page:
Incidentally, I couldn’t get anywhere the first time I tried the game. I still don’t feel like I’m very good, but I can at least beat a boss sometimes now on the easiest difficulty. Here’s what I would have wanted to know going in:
- The blue “pads” cycle through your possible upgrades, Gradius style. Speed and missile seem to be good ones to start with.
- Every time you hit a pad of any kind using your strike, your strike meter refills immediately.
- Your shields (lives) are off on the right side of the screen. I kept looking at the shield upgrade and getting confused. Those are the (limited) ones available for purchase.
- When you are offered a “deck,” you’re deciding on a set of upgrades that will come up in the same three slots as the decks themselves.
Edit: No wonder this is good. It was made by an ex-Housemarque dev who worked on Super Stardust HD.
