Geometry wars 3 dimensions cover series#

Being able to customize your ship adds yet another layer to the Geometry Wars experience as I found myself mix and matching different upgrades to see what could possibly work best within certain game modes. Unlocking these abilities is done by progressing through the campaign, although upgrading these abilities to be more effective will cost Geons. The upgrades really improve the overall experience as you can select a number of improvements to equip your ship, such as a number of companion drones that can be equipped with one of five special abilities. Earning stars seems easy enough as you’ll just need to score a certain amount of points to earn them, but I found myself feeling the pressure when I was inching closer to reaching the score minimum to earning a third star within a single mission.Īlong the way, you’ll be able to customize your ship by using Geons as currency for upgrades. You’ll need to earn a specific number of stars in order to progress through certain points of the game, with each mission giving at most a total of three stars to earn. A total of 10 battle modes are featured in Adventure mode, which includes fan favorites such as Pacifism and King, while new additions have been added, such as Claustrophobia, which has players adapting to new strategies within a mazelike grid that changes dynamically.īoss battles serve as not only a way to further challenge players with large enemies to battle, but to also serve as a way to barricade players from accessing all of the missions all at once. The most impressive game mode is the Adventure mode, which acts as the game’s single-player campaign that challenges players to play across 50 missions, with some of those missions throwing in a number of boss battles for good measure.

Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions expands the series in a number of ways, one of which is going beyond just having a handful of game modes that you can play over and over again in order to achieve the highest score possible for gloating rights. From the start, you’ll be able to play a number of modes: Adventure, Classic, Extras, Online, and Co-Op. And even though Lucid Games is a relitively new studio, its past experiences make this a title fans of the series could become addicted to all over again.

Lucky for all of us, Lucid Games was formed with a number of Bizarre Creations’ senior management team as well as a number of experienced industry professionals that were responsible for Geometry Wars. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions isn’t being developed by the series’ original team, Bizarre Creations, and is instead the work of Lucid Games, who has developed a number of mobile titles since 2012, making this their first major release.

It’s been over six years since Geometry Wars has graced our game consoles, which is why I was genuinely excited when news of its return spread through the gaming community like wildfire.
