Remote Life

Remote Life is an excellent space shoot 'em up for fans of classic genre games, eerie artstyle and techno music.

Remote Life was an adventure I absolutely adored from start to finish. To think a one-man team created this entire package is just insane and he should be absolutely proud of the end product. If you’re a side-scrolling shooter junkie then it is an absolute must-buy.

I do not doubt that Remote Life will be a marmite-style title. It’ll have its fans and its haters. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a game I enjoyed that much, but I can appreciate what the developer tried to do.

Remote Life deserves a lot of credit. A game made by a single person, where the small flaws are easily compensated by the risk of joining two different genres in a very original title. A frantic and at the same time scary Shmup, highly recommended for lovers of the genre.

Remote Life is a great shmup that's as creative as it is tense and challenging. The story and art direction are dark and grim, with more presence than is strictly necessary, but enhances the game's aethestic. If old school shooters are your thing then Remote life is one to check out.

For a game made by one man, Remote Life is a very impressive shmup that any fan of the genre should check out. The twin-stick controls make it feel quite a bit different from other shmups and using all the different weapons on offer is a blast. The high-octane gameplay is also matched by some of the most impressive 3D visuals I’ve seen in a shoot ‘em up. While it has some issues in level design, Remote Life is still absolutely worth your time.

Do you love old-school shoot 'em ups? Enjoy adrenaline-filled experiences? Appreciate well-programmed productions? Want to pay tribute to a local developer? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I recommend getting Remote Life. Mario Malagrino's solo project is a successful homage to classic bullet hell productions, with some (well-executed) variations on the theme. Ready to save Earth from bad aliens once again?

In short, Remote Life is an interesting shoot ’em up with a strong art style, neat implementation of twin-stick shooting mechanics in an R-Type-esque setting, and the occasionally impressive boss battle. It is your standard “one and done” game, though.

Remote Life is very impressive, considering it’s made by just one person. But it does have some issues that will prevent it from being remembered as one of the classics. Still, shoot ’em up fans are likely to want to add this to their collection. Not only does it look great, but the twin-stick shooter element makes it unique. If only it didn’t have so many gates to wait around for.

In this excellent state for shoot'em ups, Remote Life is another very interesting proposal. A three-year effort by a single person, Mario Malagrino, who can be proud of the result. Three years later comes the jump to consoles, so that more people can enjoy this 'euroshmup' with so much work behind it, and the result is a game that will satisfy fans of the genre, although it may not suit those who are not. so much. A gameplay with some edges, in a demanding game and with an exquisite visual imagery, added to its perfect mission system to distribute the games to taste. A successful and pampered old-school arcade, although rough at times.
