\"\"<\/a>Defend yourself against ever encroaching subterranean monsters in Turret Rampage.\u00a0 Move your turret up and down levels as you fire different shots to take down various foes in this 2-D single screen shooter that mixes tower defense elements into the gameplay.\u00a0 It\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Use the analog stick to move up and down and switch between shooting enemies from the left and right.\u00a0 You have three different kinds of shots corresponding to three different buttons.\u00a0 There is a single shot, a double shot, and a shot that explodes the whole screen.\u00a0 Each type of enemy is weak against a certain shot, or a combination of different shots.\u00a0 It\u2019s up to you to quickly figure out which shots you must use on each level.\u00a0 If an enemy reaches the end of that tunnel, you\u2019ll first automatically fire a shot that explodes everything on that side.\u00a0 But if a second enemy reaches that area, it\u2019s Game Over and you\u2019ll have to start the level over again.<\/p>\n

There are eight levels in all, and each one adds a new element or enemy to the mix.\u00a0 You pass the levels by reaching a certain amount of waves where you must take down a number of enemies.\u00a0 But the last level is endless and just keeps getting progressively harder.\u00a0 On the menu screen you can also check leaderboards and change the color scheme (the game is kind of monochrome like a Game Boy title).\u00a0 My main problem with the game is that it\u2019s a bit light on content, and I wish you could\u2019ve used the D-pad as well as the analog stick to move, as it\u2019s easy with the analog stick to accidentally move up and down as you switch sides.<\/p>\n

Kid Factor:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turret Rampage is rated E with an ESRB descriptor of Mild Fantasy Violence.\u00a0 You shoot crudely drawn enemies that look like cave paintings so violence is pretty minimal.\u00a0 Instructions are shown with only picture cues, so reading skill isn\u2019t needed, but it may be tough for younger gamers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
