Aniquilation is a twin-stick shooter that seems to have forgotten it is a twin-stick shooter, or that putting so much mayhem on the screen at once doesn’t always equal fun. Shooting seems to be the attack I am using the least and although the game looks pretty enough it’s not really a joy to play for me.
Graham Cameron · Aug 18, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full reviewThere is some fun to be had if you can endure the frustrations and fight your way through to the later stages of Aniqulation’s levels, where the environments open up and it becomes more apparent what the developers were going for. Sprinkle in the technical issues, and Aniquilation is difficult to recommend to anyone other than the most dedicated of twin-stick shooter fans.
Shane Boyle · Aug 14, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewOn arrival, I had a sense of hope and promise for the twin-stick shooter, Aniquilation, but was left with an âoh wellâ experience. With a little refinement, it has the potential to be a really fun game with some interesting aspects. As it is, the game leaves too much to be desired.
David Temple · Aug 12, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThis is a title that may have been interesting in the early 2000s but by today’s standards, it simply isn’t worth picking up. Given how the key art and the trailer lay emphasis on the female character designs, it’s clear that R-NEXT is trying to lure in games through sex appeal, but we recommend that you don’t get fooled by this and instead simply avoid Aniquilation.
SebastiaanRaats · Aug 05, 2022 Reviewed on SwitchRead full reviewThe translation is pretty bad, and the only voice work in the game sounds like a 2005 text-to-speech robot voice. Over the course of 30 levels, you will blow up different-looking buildings while fending off a never-ending respawning storm of enemy ships. In between levels there is a linear avoid the obstacles section that comes out of nowhere and is very boring every time.
Jesse Norris · Jul 27, 2022 Reviewed on Series X|SRead full reviewWhat we have in Aniquilation is almost a case of style over substance – a game that looks flashy and full of pizazz, but is a bit lacking where it counts.

About the game
ANIQUILATION is a Twin Stick shooter set in small planets (some of which can be terraformed as you play!) in which not only your shoots, but also the enemies and planet environment are your weapon thanks to your SWORD which you can use to throw or reflect almost ALL the elements in the environment! You will follow the adventures of a pilot and her leader who are wandering in space and are trying to return to their home Galaxy and got lost after trying to solve a mystery that arrived to their galaxy. As you progress, you’ll discover that it wasn’t just a coincidence that the heroes arrived to this specific mysterious galaxy and will understand why the only solution is invoking the fabled “Aniquilation” upon the galaxy! Find and learn about new energy sources for your people while you travel between each one of the game planets levels via racing-like tubular levels!
