If you like quirky games and love bullet hells, then TERROR SQUID might be something up your alley. The fun part is that you create your own hell and the idea behind the game is certainly special. It’s just sad that the gameplay doesn’t give you much satisfaction or diversity. It’s a shame as the music and graphics give it that certain eerie look and feel, but nothing more is done with it, sticking to a very minimal amount of content. This is definitely something to look at if it’s on sale, but don’t expect to play hours on this title.

Critic reviews
- Overall, Terror Squid is addictively simple, with a devilish concept that’s easy to grasp and difficult to master. A few more modes wouldn’t go astray, and a multiplayer option would be a welcome addition. It’s fun in short bursts and adds a fresh twist to the genre, but I won’t be playing it every day. I’d happily recommend this one when it’s on sale though.
- 7.0Terror Squid may not have much content, but what is there still manages to impress and terrify. The unique, personality-filled take on shmup gameplay truly can't be found anywhere else, despite the minimal variety. Players who enjoy chasing high scores through quick, replayable experiences will find a lot of value in the title. However, those looking for more to do should swim on to less dangerous waters.
- Terror Squid has all the pros of a classic arcade game. Mechanically simple but surprisingly difficult gameplay, with a beautiful pick-up-and-play methodology baked in. Unfortunately however, it is a shallow experience if you are not interested in chasing high scores.
- 7.0Well crafted and responsive, Terror Squid is an addictive one-stick dodger through a bullet hell of your own creation. It does it’s one thing really well, but with just a single mode and a single gimmick, there’s not really enough to justify the price tag. This is one for the score-chasers.
- 8.0Que las partidas sean de un minuto o menos, o incluso de dos o tres, y que la obsesión por la repetición esté en el centro del gameplay ya es otra cosa.
