Аlien cat 4 Reviews

Fun and funny game, good graphics, I recommend!

If you are anything like me, you've probably played dozens of vertical and horizontal scrolling space shooters over the years. Alien Cat 4 doesn't work like most other space shooters, and I'm reasonably certain that it's a good thing. Interestingly, I can see that the game has been tagged as a "bullet hell," which isn't really accurate. The hellish aspect of this game is that it doesn't work on simple patterns like most other shooters. Bullet hell shooters are literally all about finding the small safe spaces on the screen whilst dozens of bullets whiz past in predictable patterns. Alien Cat 4 isn't like that at all. Alien Cat 4 is about engaging with waves of enemies, every single on of which is not operating based on a pre-set pattern, but is actually equipped with AI and is capable of finding and shooting directly at you at any point. This means you're not dodging patterns of bullets and counterattacking, you're frantically dodging enemies who are just as good at the game as you, if not better, and all of whom make the most of their limited ammo by sniping you with pinpoint accuracy. This made the game initially frustrating until I figured out how to approach it. First, engage each enemy as a separate entity. Second, engage the time manipulation when there are too many enemies on screen. You won't last otherwise. Third, always be moving. You never know when a well-aimed bullet will find you. All in all, this is a much different experience than most shooters I've played, and I think they successfully defied the conventions of the genre, which is no small feat. This game is much more than its budget price would lead you to believe. It's fun, but it's also quite a challenge, which makes it easy to recommend.
