Review: TRIZEAL REMIX (PC)

Trizeal-Remix-1Overview
If you are a fan of the shooter genre you may know quiet a few shooters that never released over seas or were only released on arcades-TRIZEAL being one of these titles. TRIZEAL was originally released Internationally on Arcade in 2004 and later ported to the Sega breakfast and PS2 in Japan. TRIZEAL is a shooter that a lot of players might have seen and wanted to play. Now, TRIZEAL finally makes its way to the PC titled as TRIZEAL REMIX . TRIZEAL REMIX is part of the quadrology called Shooter Love 20XX from Degica Games, which consists of a few more shooters, but is TRIZEAL REMIX worth picking up for new players and veterans?

trizeal_remix_03Audio/Sound
As anyone who is a shooter fan, you know most shooters have music from the techno trance genre to bring players into the game and ready to shoot everything in sight. TRIZEAL REMIX has that plus more music genres. All songs are tracks from the original game, which is not a bad thing; I really enjoyed these soundtrack from beginning to end. Although the tracks are the original tracks, I would have loved to see an option for remastered tracks or even a whole set of redone tracks to make this game feel a little more new. As for sound, I  never get tired of hearing the explosions along with weapons blowing everything up as I made my way through the levels.

Sound wise, the game still has the beloved shooter soundtrack and audio but I would have liked to see some sort of remastered audio or a remade audio option for the whole game.

ss_d9cd684c97c4768076b262c702f38773c74afb85.1920x1080Gameplay
TRIZEAL REMIX shines in its gameplay from transforming your ship to change weapons on the fly,  playing with your buddy in the local co-op mode, and the difficulty ready for anyone new to the genre to join with ease.With all of this, you will find yourself wanting to beat your last high score and make your way to the end of each level. As a bonus,when you beat the initial game your are able unlock another ship with a different play style, which adds replay value to TRIZEAL REMIX. Not to mention, TRIZEAL REMIX supports Steam achievements, Leadership Board, and a replays saves which will make any shooter fan happy. With all of these options, you will want to show off how the made it through the bullet hell and reached that high score. One thing I did notice TRIZEAL REMIX is missing to stand out from the original title is, having a difficulty option. I would have loved to play through the same stages with even more ships and bullets flying my way.

TriZeal-Remix-PC-Announcement-Screenshot-3.jpgVerdict
TRIZEAL REMIX is a perfect game to veterans of the shooter genre, or even players that wanted to play TRIZEAL a few years back but never had the chance to. As for new players, it is a pick up if you want to get into a shooter, but it is not a must buy. Was hoping for some more options since the title has “REMIX” in it. That being said, I would recommend checking it out.

 

Smash Bros Inspired Game Sneak Peek at Evo 2016

Angry Mob Games has announced its new game Titled Brawlout, and any EVO attendee can get their hand on a sneak peek this weekend at the event. Brawlout is a platform fighter and will arrive on PS4, Xbox One, and PC early 2017. Read the details below.

Brawlout marks a return to the golden age of platform fighters. It draws on traditional fighting games to create a parade of fantastic fighting moves, and a vivid world all its own.

The platforming elements and win conditions were inspired by Super Smash Bros, while the various combat moves and ground combos were largely inspired by more violent fighters, like Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, switching to a Looney-Toons sense of violence.

  • Online and local battles, with up to 8 player fights – Take part in online ranked tournaments, play locally in party mode with friends, or go solo in the story campaign.
  • Evolve and customize your characters – Each character starts out with more accessible attacks. You grow it with special attacks, new combo options, more movement abilities and advanced tech moves.
  • Vastly different combat styles – Each character is designed around a unique fighting style, to make each fight more strategic: grapple opponents, freeze them, dive kick their face, bomb them with projectiles or smash them with long range whips.
  • Rage meter – Powerful special attacks consume your rage meter. When filled up, your character gets much tougher.
