Geometry Survivor

Geometry Survivor offers a gaming experience centered on addictive gameplay, typical of bullet heaven-style survival roguelites. However, the game leaves something to be desired by prioritizing aesthetics and presentation to the detriment of content that could add more value to the product as a whole. Despite its flaws, it is still able to capture players' attention with its challenging gameplay and unique aesthetics.

Geometry Survivor is a rather simple title that could go one of two ways. Either it stays the way it is and just fades into obscurity, or it continues to build and becomes something great. The potential is there: the groundwork has been laid and the concept is solid. But there needs to be more in terms of every direction, from more areas to more weapons and more excitement. Make some fake achievements, create a daily scoreboard, add a massive time speedup, just do SOMETHING so this isn’t as small and shallow as a cloudburst puddle.

While the Geometry Survivor’s lack of traditional levels may deter some players looking for a more structured experience, this is the perfect indie homage to the beautiful simplicity of Geometry Wars. If you’re a seasoned veteran of the series, or a newcomer who loves a good arcade shooter, you’d be mad to not give this one a shot. It’s clear that the devs have strived to carry on the neon-lit legacy of this cult classic series.
