Xbox Tavern
3.6Paladin is a poor take on the popular genre it adopts. There’s nowhere near enough innovation to allow this to stand out from the crowd of other twin-stick shooters on the market. The level design is poor, the gameplay is basic, and there’s not much of a challenge to soak up. It may well be a colourful blast with a good selection of upgrades to lean back on, but when you take into account that you can complete this entire game in just 90 minutes, it leaves a lot to be desired. If you have yet to play it, pick up Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions Evolved instead. It costs a tiny bit more but packs much more content, a better design, and outdoes everything that Paladin fails to grasp.
