Each time you finish a level, regardless of if you complete it successfully or not, all the geoms you collected are added to the funds you can spend towards upgrades. You can purchase upgrades for both drones and the drone supers with geoms. You purchase it with the stars you earn by completing levels, so earning more stars than needed per level has more benefit than just bragging rights. When you complete a boss level you unlock a new drone super, though you must purchase it first. The super gives you another attack to use in the level, such as dropping a turret that shoots for a short period of time, or a black hole that sucks in all the enemies for a short while. The first affects the ship you pilot, such as increasing your attack spread, or having a drone that automatically seeks and collects geoms for you. When you pick a level you can also choose your loadout, which consists of a drone and a drone super. You pick up the geoms simply by piloting near them. Each time you kill an enemy they drop green gems, known as geoms, that increase your score multiplier. The game also features bosses, and a handful of other game modes to play.Įarning points in a level is as simple as destroying your enemies, which consist of different geometric shapes that each behave in a different manner. There’s a mode where you can only attack from inside domes that spawn and disappear from the map. In other modes you have only one or three lives and must reach the score before you exhaust your lives. Some of the different game modes include scoring enough points under a certain time limit, in which you have infinite lives. (I’ll talk more about the stars later.) Different levels have different maps, and while some of them are flat, most of them are various 3 dimensional shapes, upon which you can cruise across the entire surface. You can earn up to 3 stars for each level by further surpassing higher and higher score thresholds. Each level is completed by earning enough points to get a 1 star rating.

The meat of the gameplay is done in adventure mode, which is a series of levels featuring a variety of different modes. Usually just once per stage, sometimes up to three, and sometimes none. The number of times you can use a bomb or special attack depends on the level. One of the shoulder buttons will release a bomb that clears the screen of enemies, while the other will release a special attack depending on the drone you picked (more on the drones later). The gameplay itself is very simple: you control a highly maneuverable ship that can shoot in any direction, you use one joy stick to move, and the other to shoot. For this review, when I refer to the controls I’m referring specifically to when using a controller.

If you do get this game, I highly recommend getting an X-Box controller for Windows, as this game is unplayable with just a keyboard, or with a keyboard and mouse. I won’t spend any more time on these classic modes since they aren’t the main focus of this game, but suffice it to say that they provide added entertainment to the game. At the least, it has about a half dozen other classic game modes in addition to the main game.

It has the classic mode from the first game, and I think it has all the modes from the second as well. If you’re new to the series then this is the best place to start. If you like the old games then you should love this one too. This game is a huge step up from the first, and from what I can tell, a huge step up from the second as well. I’ve played the 1st Geometry Wars game, though not the second.
