\"\"<\/a>Pilot a mech and mow down robots with streams of bullets while you collect power-ups in S. Prysm Destroyer.\u00a0 It\u2019s an anime inspired 2D run and gun platformer available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

Play control is snappy and simple. \u00a0Just use the L stick to move and hold down the fire button to shoot.\u00a0 You can jump, and holding down the jump button will let you hover and fly slowly, too.\u00a0 The loading screen says the R1 does something but I couldn\u2019t figure out what.\u00a0 As you destroy enemies and objects, power-ups will appear for you to collect.\u00a0 These include health refills, rapid fire, an \u2018option,\u2019 three way shots, shields, and more.\u00a0 There\u2019s a rare power-up that you can find that looks like a glowy blob.\u00a0 When you get it, the anime girl (presumably) inside the mech will do a magical girl style transformation sequence and then you\u2019ll have a huge spike in power for a limited time.\u00a0 You\u2019ll either get a giant flame sword, ice sprays, or lightning bolts.\u00a0 These last for a long time, too.\u00a0 You complete the stage by making it to the hangar at the far right end and if you lose all your energy it\u2019s Game Over.\u00a0 By completing certain objectives, you can unlock outfits for the anime girl pilots of the mech.<\/p>\n

The game is good, simplistic fun but it does have some problems, too.\u00a0 The action can get hectic and sometimes it can be hard to see what just hit you.\u00a0 Graphics could\u2019ve been better, as they look like they could\u2019ve been on the PSOne and feel a bit amateurish.\u00a0 I think I would\u2019ve preferred sprite-based visuals for this.\u00a0 The HUD also takes up way more of the screen than what it needs to.\u00a0 And the game gets a bit too hard after stage 4.\u00a0 But otherwise, it\u2019s a surprisingly fun little run and gun platformer shooter.<\/p>\n

S. Prysm Destroyer is rated E-10 with an ESRB descriptor of Fantasy Violence. You shoot robots that explode and that\u2019s it. Reading skill is helpful for the text, but not necessary just to play.\u00a0 Younger gamers may find it too difficult, though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
