Our take on [Speer DX]

Players who expect a weapon-focused action game may hit a wall when they find the spear is primarily a puzzle tool: it makes platforms, triggers switches, and interacts with obstacles. Those who get stuck can skip a stage and return later.

What is [Speer DX]?

[Speer DX] is a puzzle-platform game built around throwing a spear, called a “speer” in the game.

Embed it in walls to make platforms, use it to trigger switches, or give it powers to get past obstacles such as lasers and portals. The director’s cut of the original [Speer] has 125 stages. Players can place checkpoints anywhere in a level and reload from them, or skip a stage and return later. An optional slow-motion setting is available for difficult platforming sections. Speedrun mode focuses on completing the game as quickly as possible.

How [Speer DX] plays

01Placeable checkpoints: Set a restart point anywhere in a level and reload from it instantly.
02Stage skipping: Move past a level and return to it later.
03Optional slow motion: Slow the action during challenging platforming sections.
04Speedrun mode: Attempt to finish the game in the shortest time possible.
