This Means Warp

When it comes to co-op rogue-lites, This Means Warp doesn't do anything particularly new - so you certainly won't be going where no man has gone before - but what it does do it does with aplomb. Gather your crew, try to do the tricky Spock hand gesture thingy, and shout out 'Beam me up' at random; This Means Warp will provide the rest of your Star Trek fantasy.

This Means Warp is incredibly fun and shines the brightest with friends. It could do with a bit more variety in some places, but the biggest thing holding it back is the crashing issue, and I sincerely hope it’s resolved soon.

While co-op space survival has been done, This Means Warp’s roguelike unpredictability steps it up a notch

Whether you choose to go it alone or have a space-themed game night game with friends, This Means Warp is a solid arcade experience. Graphics may not seem like a lot, but the gameplay more than makes up for it. Easy to pick up, very tough to master and even more tough not to be tempted to come back in for another round. My only notable niggle is that you can’t mix local and online co-op, which is a bit of a pain when you want to play the game with your wife and a friend in another country. Regardless, This Means Warp is one of those co-op games that does its own thing and succeeds in the process.

This Means Warp is an enjoyable space-travel odyssey without a story that will keep you entertained for hours on end. Above all, playing with friends and sharing some adventures against the Isaacs is great fun. Unfortunately, the bosses in the game are completely overpowered, and the moment you lose the vacuum under your ship and are left to fend for yourself, your nerves tend to get the best of you, because you know you’ll have to start all over again.
