Polychromatic Reviews

WOW I LOVE THIS GAME.

Great on steam deck

Beautifully smooth and fluid graphics. Enjoyable for a quick play but just seems like I keep wishing there was a little more. Feels like a minimalist interpretation of 'Waves' which has more variety and intensity. Hope to see updates with additional modes or arenas.

What a fun little game to play in quick bursts (no pun intended)! It's simple and easy to pick up while balancing the chill vibe with the need for quick-thinking. It makes me feel good mentally, man.

The most fun I've had in a game in awhile. Everything about this game is visually pleasing. I plan to sink many hours into this game.

Another plain and simple Asteroids-style / arena shooter. A nice blast for a nice price.

Love it! Fantastic and addicting twin-stick. Runs great on the Steam Deck.

Anyone who knows me can tell you I really dont do endless shooters. This might have something to do with the fact I’m not very good at them but lets just skip past that minor point. Fact is, I tend to avoid at all costs. However, I may have just found an exception to this unspoken rule I live by. Browsing through my steam library and trying to organise everything when I come across ‘Polychromatic’ - a game I’ve never played and don’t actually know anything about ... hell lets play it and see what we have here. Much to my dissappointment, I realised pretty much upon opening what it was and swiftly sought out the exit game button. Then I stopped ... I dont know why but I did. A small niggling urge inside me to try this game out. So I did. This has got to be by far the smoothest endless shooter I have ever played. Easy controls using a game pad and dare I say it, almost enjoyable. A simple yet well made design that doesn’t hurt your brain when your trying to keep track of your little attack dude and three modes to suit your preference of play style. If your after killing as much as you can and don’t want to worry about how many lives you have, ‘Timed’ is the way to go. If you want a bit more of a challenge and actually want to panic about loosing lives then hit that ‘Endless’ mode. Which of course leaves ‘One-life’ which pretty much speaks for itself - hardcore only go near if your good at this stuff sorta mode. A cool feature of this particular shooter is that unlike alot of others, each of those little demon shapes trying to kill you has its own pattern. The further you get, the more you get to figure out - oh and the more you die. So i’m clearly not very good at this but I dare say this is one of the few shooters I will actually play more than once and actually kind of enjoyed. Worth the £1.99? In my opinion ... yeah i’d say it is. Well done Brushfire Games, you’ve succeded where most have failed - Giving me an endless shooter I’m happy to pay for and kill some time on!

+Simple but also punishing +No pickups, 3 gamemodes, no pixel graphics, No Bull$hit! +Great minimalistic arcade bullet hell, 95/100. weapons: regular pellet gun, bombs, and boost. Options menu is lacking a way to remap keyboard controlls, but the default controlls arent bad. If you die its your own fault, just the way i personally like it. ++The skillcieling is also higher than snoop dogg

Simple yet elegant twin-stick shooter offering you a satisfying frantic arcade experience for a small price.
