There were tons of space shooters, sure, but Tyrian had a great customization system, and over a decade later I couldn’t find a game that compared, much less improved on it.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
18 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
This isn’t merely a matter of selecting weapons or some such—PSR gives you the ability to design a ship from the ground up.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
15 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
The ending felt pretty satisfying even if the end boss was anticlimactic by that point.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
7 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics are also nice and flashy, kind of what you would expect from a space shooter.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
5 of 102 sampled reviews raised it
Soundtrack is good but the psychobiatch AI's voice and her dumb comments / quotes are very annoying.
