\"\"<\/a>Mixing a Breakout\/Arkanoid style game with a roguelike may sound like a good idea, but the way they did it here is very passive, so I\u2019m not so sure.\u00a0 Anyway, that\u2019s kind of what Hextreme Void is like, and it\u2019s available on all current consoles and PC, but reviewed on PS4 here.<\/p>\n

So when you start the game, you\u2019ll see a bunch of blocks in a hexagonal formation.\u00a0 Then a bunch of balls comes out and starts bouncing around and breaking them.\u00a0 When you get enough points, you can choose a perk like more balls, higher attack power, point and coin multipliers, ball speed increases, and more.\u00a0 Then you go back to watching the balls bounce around.\u00a0 When you clear a stage you get coins.\u00a0 After the time runs out and it\u2019s Game Over, you can use the coins to buy permanent upgrades so you can try and get further next time.\u00a0 And that\u2019s pretty much it.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t understand how this is even a game.\u00a0 Feels more like an interactive screen saver to me.\u00a0 All you have control of is what perks to choose.\u00a0 You don\u2019t control anything else, just watch the balls bounce around.\u00a0 And even though the game is simple, I would\u2019ve liked to have some instructions to help answer some questions.\u00a0 Like what do the colored blocks do?\u00a0 Why does the trail on your balls change color sometimes?\u00a0 I have no idea.\u00a0 Hopefully someone will come along and make a better roguelike with Arkanoid style gameplay.<\/p>\n

Nothing violent or objectionable here.\u00a0 Reading skill is helpful for the text, though.\u00a0 I would say kids would get bored with this, but after seeing some of the stuff my nephew likes to watch on YouTube, maybe not.\u00a0 Hextreme Void is rated E for Everyone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
