Anyone who knows me can tell you I really dont do endless shooters. This might have something to do with the fact I’m not very good at them but lets just skip past that minor point. Fact is, I tend to avoid at all costs. However, I may have just found an exception to this unspoken rule I live by.

Browsing through my steam library and trying to organise everything when I come across ‘Polychromatic’ - a game I’ve never played and don’t actually know anything about ... hell lets play it and see what we have here. Much to my dissappointment, I realised pretty much upon opening what it was and swiftly sought out the exit game button. Then I stopped ... I dont know why but I did. A small niggling urge inside me to try this game out. So I did.

This has got to be by far the smoothest endless shooter I have ever played. Easy controls using a game pad and dare I say it, almost enjoyable. A simple yet well made design that doesn’t hurt your brain when your trying to keep track of your little attack dude and three modes to suit your preference of play style. If your after killing as much as you can and don’t want to worry about how many lives you have, ‘Timed’ is the way to go. If you want a bit more of a challenge and actually want to panic about loosing lives then hit that ‘Endless’ mode. Which of course leaves ‘One-life’ which pretty much speaks for itself - hardcore only go near if your good at this stuff sorta mode.
A cool feature of this particular shooter is that unlike alot of others, each of those little demon shapes trying to kill you has its own pattern. The further you get, the more you get to figure out - oh and the more you die.

So i’m clearly not very good at this but I dare say this is one of the few shooters I will actually play more than once and actually kind of enjoyed. Worth the £1.99? In my opinion ... yeah i’d say it is. Well done Brushfire Games, you’ve succeded where most have failed - Giving me an endless shooter I’m happy to pay for and kill some time on!
