Review changed, go all the way down to last paragraph. There's no inbetween positive and negative, which is the reason why the review is negative. The game itself is fine. You have multiple gamemodes, skins, themes, and the level system is straightforward. Just go into rings to shoot more bullets and have enough rings on you to go to the next level. 3 of the gamemodes use the standard arrow key and space to shoot, or if you have auto-shoot on no need to press space. Now one of the gamemode changes this... You have to press space bar to change direction... Sounds easy, but it's extremely hard to control, since you have to press the bar to change direction AND shoot, and going in a straight line is basically impossible as you'll need to spam the space bar which can make you lost in which direction you go, which can be especially tricky on the 4th level of this gamemode, mainly because of another negative point, RNG. The game is extremely RNG-based. If you're lucky, you'll not have an at...
I bought this feeling that it may scratch a Tempest itch, but I was wrong. The game starts out real slow, but then it speeds up as you make it through the rings, and that begins what completely killed the fun for me. My ship, no matter how many rings I go through is far slower than the enemies, and has no defenses. On top of moving slower than the enemies, my gun sucks... I don't feel I made it very far, but very quickly realized the only thing passing me through the levels is pure RNG. There is no "skill" or expertise to it, and soon, instead of having a good time, I just felt like I was wasting my time. Perhaps there is a mechanic of the game I'm missing... Maybe they've updated Tempest somewhere else, or I'll just load up the old game. Not going to refund, I got it for practically nothing. Your experience may differ.
