![]() The audio is impeccable: the soundtrack is absolutely fantastic throughout the entire game, the sound effects are excellent, and the voice that tells you when you have a power up is great The game looks amazing - the vibrant colours, the distinct environments, and the unique enemies are all great, and the awesome enemy death animations, and how they break up into bits Movement and controls feel responsive and precise when using a controller (full controller support, and you can tell that the game is designed for a controller, thus, playing with a controller is an absolute must if you hope to do well) Great replay value with the main arcade, as well as score attack modes (there are lots of objectives i.e humans to save and secrets to find)Ī variety of enemy types, and the intense boss boss levels Boss fights are well choreographed, and you can learn fights and enemy spawn patterns on each level with a good amount of practice.įun, fast, fluid, and challenging gameplay with finite lives, and limited continues depending on the difficulty setting The game consists of five worlds, each with several levels and then a boss level at the end. There are four difficulty settings, as well as score attack challenges where you can compete on the leaderboards. I really like that there is an objective beyond just clearing each level, and that trying to accomplish it does prove to be more of a challenge.Īs far as the challenge goes, Nex Machina definitely has a lot to offer. Stringing together several levels where you saved all the humans is even more rewarding. Saving all the humans in each level nets you a nice score bonus, and encourages you to fight quickly, and prioritize the enemies that are posing a direct threat to them. Depending on which difficulty you play on, you will only be granted a certain number of continues before you lose the game and need to restart completely. Lives are finite though, and if you run out of lives, you’ll be asked if you want to continue the game. You can retrieve the upgrade as long as you don’t die again before picking it up. Taking any damage causes you to lose a life, as well as drop one of your upgrades where you died. The ability does have a short cooldown though, so using them properly will make a difference between life or death. Using dash gives you iframes making you invulnerable for a brief period. You’ll need to avoid taking damage from enemies, lasers, and projectiles, all while trying to save the humans and discover secrets. The secondary weapons are all unique and fun to use, but only one of them may be equipped at a time. Other items you can discover are five different secondary weapons, two different modifications to your dash ability, as well as shields and extra lives. Your main weapon stays the same throughout the game, but it can be upgraded to have longer range and spread-shot via pick-ups you find while playing. You’ll be constantly running, and gunning down the enemies spawning all around you. There is little to no downtime while playing, and the gameplay is extremely addicting. There’s no story, and the game revolves entirely around its action-packed gameplay. Nex Machina is an insanely fast-paced bullet hell game.
