  Scintillatron 4096 is a unique arena shooter. It’s got all the shiny effects and abstract enemies you’d expect, but demands a very different style of play. The deliberate target selection doesn’t mean it’s sedate by any means, but rather the fast-paced action needs to be more carefully planned.

  All in all, Scintillatron 4096 is a very enjoyable slice of twin-stick-shooting decked out in its retro finest and adorned with unexpected layers of strategy and addictiveness. After one play I expected to hate it, after five I was hooked, so much so that I feel then need to wrap up this review right now because there is a very odd robotic voice calling to me from the other side of the room, ‘you’ll get it next time’, it says.

  Overall then, there's a lovely title here. It's a smartly crafted twin-stick shooter that lets you play how you like, but really rewards careful, methodical play. It boasts a steep challenge and undoubtedly this is a game that I'm going to be returning to lots in the future to chase high scores, but with just with a little more variety in its game modes it could have been something that stood tall alongside the genre's greats.
