About

Futuridium EP Deluxe is a psychedelic retro inspired shoot'em up with a modern twist, that blends together frantic action, puzzle elements, a vibrant low poly aesthetic and an heart pumping electronic soundtrack. As a lone starship pilot lost in a dimensional loop just before a big space battle, with a limited and constantly depleting energy tank, your only hope is to fly as fast as possible over enormous space dreadnoughts, destroying their defenses and the cyan power cubes to get some energy back. Try to escape the infinite loop of Futuridium: you can count only on your reflexes, your dual lasers, the nimbleness of your starship and... the ability to turn 180° on the spot! Can you beat all the 50 levels, the 5 bosses, unlock all the extra game modes and collect the 150 medals?

    With tight gameplay, sharp shooting, and a remarkable sense of style, Futuridium EP Deluxe is a delightful 3D shooter. While there are certainly moments of frustration to be had here – predominantly stemming from misjudged aiming – the gorgeous graphics and stellar soundtrack more than make up for any misgivings. Oh, and if you do decide to play it, be sure to use headphones.

    Futuridium EP Deluxe is a bland-at-best space-shooter. Without any exciting gameplay hooks, players are left with a product that simply lacks the “fun factor” its colorful visuals would imply it has. ...PSN is absolutely loaded with brilliant downloadable titles sporting some of the most unique gameplay elements seen to date. Sadly, Futuridium EP Deluxe does not stand on par with some of these gems, instead fading into the background, never to be heard from again.

    I am not a patient gamer, and I will admit that Futuridium EP Deluxe did try my patience at times with its unforgiving gameplay. But what I found is that it simply made me more determined to do better on my next run, and to try different tacts for shooting all the blocks in the fastest time possible. Its not often that a game as challenging as this has held my interest in such a strong way. Once I had eventually conquered a level after many retries, the feeling was extremely satisfying.

    Futuridium EP Deluxe provides a fresh experience on the eShop, with vibrant visuals, a pumping soundtrack and a neat twist on its genre. It's also reserved for skilful players, with demanding stage designs being at turns exciting and frustrating. For those that are up to the challenge, though, this is a stylish and enjoyable effort that's well worth a look on Wii U.

    Futuridium EP Deluxe is a really interesting space shooter puzzle hybrid that works flawlessly. You will need to learn to manage depth perception, which can be incredibly screwy if you don't take your time and learn. Once you know what to do, 50 increasingly hard stages will await you. They will push you to the limit in a race to save your spaceship. Making mistakes isn't an option and acting fast is your main task. Futuridium is fun through and through, and it deserves your download sooner rather than later.

    There really isn’t much of anything for me to complain about when it comes to Futuridium. It’s a simple, but fun arcade style shooter that draws you in with its addictive gameplay and awesome presentation. With a price-tag of only $10, MixedBag Srl’s colorful shooter is easily one of the most original and enjoyable games out on the Wii U eShop right now.
