What players think
The recurring themes across 54 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
The ships can be upgraded as progress is made, and unlocking new vessels adds a rewarding sense of progression that keeps players experimenting.
For fans of retro shooters or anyone craving a pure, skill-based challenge wrapped in dazzling visuals and driving music, Vortex Attack is a gem worth revisiting again and again.
The soundtrack complements this perfectly with a pulsing electronic score that drives the action forward, syncing beautifully with the rhythm of combat.
Very well designed game with no narrative/story and good sound.
Local multiplayer, in particular, adds immense replay value, transforming what can be a solitary score chase into a lively and chaotic group experience that harks back to the social joy of shared arcade cabinets.
Oh and I forgot to mention co-op play to which is cool!.
