Visuals are definitely a highlight in Housemarque games. I hope they add online coop because it would be amazing. There’s also a coop mode which unfortunately is only local right now.

It has unlimited continues and is a bit too easy for players who are familiar with Housemarque’s other games. The last one has to be unlocked and the easiest one is perfect for beginners. Unlike most bullet hell games, Nex Machina comes with multiple difficulty options. Playing the arcade mode will unlock more worlds for use in the other modes where you can play with certain modifiers. The arcade mode is the base mode that lets you play through the worlds from the start and try to finish them all. Enemies come in waves towards you and everything looks amazing as you destroy multiple enemies with bullets and have colours and particle effects go all over the place. There are also passive power ups like a spread mode for your base weapon and longer range bullets. You use the shoulder buttons to use power ups that you pickup like a triple dash or rocket launcher. Controls involve you using the left joystick to move and the right one to aim your weapon with an automatic fire setting. The core gameplay loop is simple and very addictive. Levels are split up into rooms where you need to clear out every enemy before you are transported out. You play through rooms of enemies from a top down perspective.
RESOGUN HARD COPY PC
This is the first proper Steam release from Housemarque in a long time and their return to PC could not have been with a better game. Nex Machina is a twin stick game that has released on both PlayStation 4 and Steam. Nex Machina is an arcade style shoot em up that will captivate you for a long time. Nex Machina is a combination of multiple things that work brilliantly together and have topped everything they have made before this.

Today they have released Nex Machina as a collaboration between Housemarque and Eugene Jarvis. They released Alienation last year and I liked it enough to buy a physical copy from Singapore as an import because the retail release wasn’t done outside that region. Most of us were introduced to them with Resogun on the PlayStation 4 but their first major release on Sony platforms was Super Stardust HD back in 2007. Housemarque has made some of the most fun games in the last few years.
