Our take on Space Bandit
The focus on rapid combat and procedurally generated zones gives up the predictability of fixed encounters and a slower exploratory rhythm. Progress also hinges on beating the first zone, making the opening a demanding test rather than a gentle introduction.
What is Space Bandit?
Space Bandit is a fast twin-stick shooter set in a sci-fi revenge story.
Gunfights use firearms, swords, grenades, teleportation and environmental physics, including breaking windows to send enemies into space. Players can reflect bullets, hide in smoke and use weapons such as a rail gun that shoots through walls. The game includes four procedurally generated zones, four bosses, enemy mutations and AI that does not simply run straight at the player. Mouse, keyboard and controller input are supported. A chain-smoking business partner accompanies the player as they pursue revenge and profit after a deal goes wrong. The vendor also describes the game as having roguelite elements and says players must be good enough to beat the first zone.
