![]() ![]() Neither did bass-heavy aural composers Audioantics. Clever as they are in design application (modes borrow from flag capture structures and boss battles), this is proof of how desperate the series has become to innovate without subtlety.īizzare Creations’ Stephen Cakebread did not return for Dimensions. ![]() Dimensions goes so far as to include team-based PvP online multiplayer. Its identity of being carefully minimalist has been stolen, and in turn Dimensions becomes gullible, sucked into progress which, for Geometry Wars, isn’t necessarily good or true to itself. Bowing to those successors has, in some way, turned Geometry Wars against its own nature. This formula has been bent, twisted, and reformatted. Competition has fiercely drawn closer, from Finnish Housemarque’s Super Stardust to Germany’s Shin’en with Nano Assault. Geometry Wars could only keep its score-based restraint beholden to itself for two sequels. With the vast breadth of levels offered and a multitude of playlists to choose from, I found myself enthralled time and time again by each new action-packed level and compelled to keep coming back for the three-star rank. My personal favorite mode was Claustrophobia, wherein enemies rapidly multiply and threaten to enclose the player in deadly baddies. Classic Geometry Wars game modes such as Deadline (reach the par score before time runs out) and Evolved (reach par with limited lives) make a return, while new modes like Rainbow (stop enemies from painting the entire map) and Sniper (limited ammo) add to Dimensions’ seemingly endless bag of tricks. Map/game-mode variants are presented to the player through an “adventure mode” of fifty levels. Every map behaves differently based on its shape and featured game mode, allowing for an exciting and unique experience with each new level. Playing Deadline on a cylinder? Just shoot along the curve and watch your projectiles spiral. ![]() First time on a peanut-shaped level? Stick to the ends and shower bullets on all sides. Playing one-life Evolved mode on a cubic map? Make sure to watch as you wrap around corners. While previous titles in the franchise featured these core arcade mechanics on an unassuming 2D plain, Dimensions‘ 3D maps introduce a new level of variety, making every level a unique and challenging experience. Standard Geometry Wars gameplay consists of shooting up enemies for points and collecting little green gems called geoms left in their wake to exponentially increase your score multiplier. ![]()
