Martian Panic Reviews

This is horrible. I was hoping for a minimal, yet smoothly and enjoyable experience, and I only got a minimal one. First of all, this game has no volume settings, so prepare for it to blast through your speakers the moment you launch it. Secondly, there are no adjustments to resolution as far as I know. Third, the game already seems to have frozen from progression not even 5 minutes in. Maybe this would be better on a console, but it's horrible here.

I used to play this game when i was like 5 and I played it on the Wii. The lighting and everything look better on the Wii compared to this. I can't even get passed the diner level because the game won't continue after beating it because the camera will just hover up and go through the ceiling. There are a ton of bugs on this steam version of the game and its not worth buying. If you want to play the game again then go hunt for the Wii version and Wii version only.

Martian Panic is nostalgic and a lot of fun. I started playing it casually, and before I knew it, I was already playing for quite some time. The game has some aspects that caught my attention and took me back in time in a good way. Martian Panic reminded me of the games I played in my childhood. It has simple but visually beautiful and pleasant graphics. The gameplay is simple and addictive, allowing you to spend a good amount of time trying to beat your record. The maps are varied and evoke a sense of nostalgia, reminiscent of old cartoons. The aliens and bosses have well-designed appearances, and my sister found them cute, so I did too. There is a good variety of weapons that have different effects, adding to the gameplay experience. I didn't encounter any bugs or issues; it ran smoothly and fluidly. Overall, Martian Panic is very enjoyable and comfortable to play. It's a great pastime and a good game to reminisce about the good old days. I highly recommend it.

I had some trouble the first time I played the game as the character would get stuck after the end of a sequence and nothing would happen. As I was getting insane frame rates (over 300 fps) I was thinking this issue may be due to my fast frame rate not syncing properly, so I went to the Nvidia Control Panel and set the option "Max Frame Rate" to 60 fps. Sure enough this solved the issues and was able to complete the game. Other than this annoying bug, which could easily have been detected, I enjoyed my time (and even finished the game). Sure the graphics may not be cutting edge and look very passable, but the game is still loads of fun - a throwback to the 60s era and cheesy sci-fi. Reminds me a lot of classic arcade games, so I enjoyed this and would recommend this game if you like arcade on-rail shooters.
