Is Frantic Dimension worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Retro arcade fans who want a twin-stick shooter with room-by-room exploration
- Solo players who enjoy constant movement, enemy avoidance, and score chasing
- Players seeking objective-based stages with treasure collection and limited-use bombs
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking a slow-paced shooter with time to stop and plan, since movement and firing are central to survival
- Players wanting broad character progression or a story-led campaign, since the described structure centers on fortress rooms and score rewards
- Players looking for a game built around features beyond solo treasure hunting and arcade-style survival
- Players who prefer modern presentation over a retro arcade format
Our take on Frantic Dimension
The treasure-hunting premise receives more attention than the survival pressure that defines play. Continuous movement and firing, repeated room layouts, score conversion, and threshold-based rewards place the game closer to an arcade challenge than a narrative adventure.
What is Frantic Dimension?
Play as treasure hunter Jason Allen after teleportation to a dimension inhabited by Yadcian aliens.
The goal is to search the fortress, gather treasures, and escape with the prototype weapon Million. Each level contains 36 rooms and 25 treasures. Room layouts commonly include randomly positioned walls and enemies, while some open rooms feature Corner zappers or Corner cannons. Movement uses W, A, S, and D, while arrow keys fire the laser gun; the space bar activates a smart-bomb. Game controllers are also supported. Escaping converts collected treasures into score and money. An extra life is awarded for every 10000 points, and reaching 12 money grants another smart-bomb.
