Like a gratuitous salvo of locked-on missiles, Galak-Z: The Dimensional succeeds on multiple fronts. Glance at any screenshot and you could mistakenly assume that it’s just another arcade style shoot-’em up. It’s a much deeper shooter than that, as it’s a roguelike with a superbly retro anime VHS visual design that’s only matched by Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon.
Released on August 4 for the PlayStation 4 (a PC version is coming soon), Galak-Z is one of the most difficult games in recent memory, and the pleasure of beating it is also worth the pain of playing it.
