Sublevel Zero: Redux Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Sublevel Zero Redux is the type of gaming experience where you’ll only get out of it as much as you put in, meaning that some players will be left relatively unfulfilled with its rather plain visuals. If you give Sublevel Zero Redux the time it deserves however, you won’t be able to help falling in love with its approach to upgrades and consistent unrelenting challenge. Tamed the beast I eventually did, and I had a pretty good roguelike shooting experience because of it.
Whether you happened to cross paths with this odd little genre during its brief popularity or Sublevel Zero Redux will be your first dizzying journey, you’re in for a great blend of retro game design with a twist of modern mechanics. While I do wish the art and mechanics worked a little better together now and then, it doesn’t hamper the addictive gameplay to any significant degree. Grab some motion sickness medicine and get ready to spin and shoot.
Battle your way through hoards of enemies in this rougle-like first person shooter! Will you survive and help humanity find out why it's existence is falling apart or fall prey to the many enemies you will encounter? Survive and make every shot count.
There's nothing quite like soaring through stages and shooting robots in space. Sublevel Zero Redux blends six degrees of freedom flight controls and RPG elements in a unique roguelike package so suit up and get ready to shoot the core.
Sublevel Zero: Redux is a remastered and expanded version of the original 2015 release on PC. Having never played the PC version, I can’t comment on the changes to the original formula. What I can say consoles needed a 6DOF shooter a Sublevel Zero fills that void nicely. Its RPG and rogue-like elements elicit the addictive anticipation of one more run and, before you know it, you’re off again. The downsides of random generation aren’t unique to Sublevel Zero, but are disappointing nonet...
Sublevel Zero Redux isn't a bad game as much as it's a disappointing one. A roguelike with uninteresting mechanics, SZR ultimately crashes into the ceiling it hopes to shatter.
