After 1 hour of playing the game I still haven't managed to kill the first boss! Art- The Character designs and general overall look of the game is absolutely beautiful. Bugs - Haven't noticed any bugs yet, the one thing I would say which itsn't necersarilly a bug is that during the first boss fight it can be difficult to reclaim your discs when adds are up Sound - The Soundtrack of the game is beautiful and well worth the extra price, It's been in my head since i bought this game! Gameplay - Overall the gameplay is very fun! I play on mouse and keyboard but I imagine that it'll be even more fun to play on a controller. I look forward to the possibility of Online Co-Op Well done all!

About This Game

Fast-paced and furious, DiscStorm is an arena combat game where split-second reactions are essential to dodge flying discs as they ricochet around at breakneck speed.
Meet up with your friends at home and challenge them to intense multiplayer deathmatches. If you want to really test your skills, then the single player adventure boasts diverse settings such as haunted mansions and pirate ships - all of which come with their own formidable enemies and epic boss fights.
Inspired by 90s console classics, DiscStorm evokes retro nostalgia with its upbeat chip-tune soundtrack and bold pixel-art visuals. Successfully progress through the vibrant environments and you'll not only earn achievements for your efforts, but also be rewarded with quirky new costumes for the cast of characters.

- Fast-paced arena combat - Gameplay that's easy to pick up, but truly difficult to master: dodge and deflect flying discs as they ricochet around the arena at lightning speed.
- Energetic local multiplayer - Invite friends over to battle. DiscStorm offers a variety of compelling game match types; fight it out in a classic first-to-ten deathmatch or strive to keep the crown in the hectic 'Regicide' mode.
- Epic boss fights - Each arena brings its own unique play-style and enemies. Whether it be the laser-shooting Stone Golem in the jungle temple or the lava-spewing Fire Elemental of the volcano lair, exciting new challenges await you at every turn.
- Striking retro art and music - the soundtrack fuses modern dance trends with retro chiptunes, whilst the artwork blends classic pixel art with high fidelity graphics.

Awesome soundtrack, incredibly stylish game. In terms of gameplay, it's basically a twin-stick shooter which is naturally best enjoyed with a gamepad. There looks to be (IMO) a lot of replayability in terms of mastery of the levels. Very reminiscent of Towerfall, another game I loved. I've made it through the first 3 worlds so far, really looking forward to more of the single player campaign and trying out the local multiplayer. Can't recommend buying the version with the OST enough if you like electronica/dubstep!
It seems so simple, throw some discs around and dodge some enemies. After spending 3 hours trying to finish the first level in the campaign I had to give up and take a break. I am clearly not as skilled as I assumed I was, I needed some time to re-eveluate life choices and check where I went wrong. This game is a [i]very[/i] entertaining challenge for me, I'm hooked on it and picking it right back up after I finish writing this review! The gameplay is very smooth. I'm personally playing using keyboard and mouse but I really should get myself a controller for this. The art and music are very well done, and they blend in perfectly to add to that all-important gameplay, and really help to stay motivated. Also, I can't wait to get some friends round and test the multiplayer on this, I foresee some very interesting chaos!
Seems to have a pretty fun single player mode...controls are smooth game has a qiuck pace and decent music. Can't wait to try it out mp. 11-4-2015 Upon further review I am not so excited about multiplayer. I tried it out vs the ai. It has a 3 star to win a match system where it swaps modes/maps each round. It randomly selects each, you cannot pick what mode/gametype you want. Game needs more options.
The plastic flying disc originated as an improvised use of pie tin lids with one popular pie and cookie chain lending it's name to the generic term for the item (which we wont be mentioning here). In any case it's pretty certain that neither the early pioneers, the trade mark holders or partipcants in the ubiquitous college sport "Ultimate [redacted]" had realised the full potential of the flying disc as a versatile weapon. XMPT games have stepped up and filled that gap, one part damaging projectile, one part deflective shield and one part useful item to trigger things the flying disc is used to it's full potential in the pixelart adventure. Using speed, agility and 3 circular pieces of plastic a range of heroes must defeat hordes of minions, and bosses for some reason that probably isn't important. With a cool retro style, core mechanics somewhat reminiscent of speedball and a host of level specific special rules I'd reccomend everyone to quit playing catch and start creating some ...
This is the best game I've bought recently, I highly recommend it! I love the retro feel - and the music is so cool, not to mention the character illustrations. The story line is really good too - in the training level, you are introduced to the Ninja Master who teaches you the way of the ninja and all the controls to play the game. You throw your discs at ememies to kill them, and you can even catch your own discs as they bounce off the walls and come back towards you like a true ninja. Even though it's fast paced it's quick and easy to pick up. It's full of surprises too! Just after learning from the ninja master in the training level, I had to put my skills to the test by battling the very master himself. You can choose from a range of characters - I chose to play as Gustav on the first level as he most resembled me with his moustache and mexican vibe. I was glad to discover I could change my character at any stage and chose Alyssa for the next level cos she looks cooler with her...
Very repetitive and ultimately just not a fun experience.
