Chorus is a veritable smorgasbord of action, exploration, and captivating story. One that I’ll enjoy for many moons to come.
Traveling through the cosmos is an experience many games have tried to emulate since their earliest inception. While technology has improved and the vision for what constitutes a video game set in space has grown in scope, Chorus is all about the majestic art of flying a tiny starship with devastating firepower to take down entire fleets of starships.
Despite featuring one of the worst usages of a Latin-infused font, making its Us look like Vs, Chorus is a space combat game announced a couple years ago that promised to deliver a thrilling storyline with fast-paced flying combat. I was eager to find out what developer Fishlabs, mostly known for its series of space shooters aimed specifically at mobile, could do when given enough resources to develop a full-fledged shooter with PC and modern consoles in mind. It’s time to see if Fishlabs w...
There aren't as many space combat games as there used to be but Chorus is here to prove that the genre is relevant so let's take off.
Chorus is developer Fishlabs and Deep Silver's latest mystical space combat and exploration game with a heavy emphasis on character depth. The game follows
Chorus is a madcap barrage of laser beams, missiles, and impossible space combat dodges, boosts, and chases in its best moments. At its worst, it’s bogged down with tiresome and repetitive encounters, frustrating checkpoints, and bland characters. Sci-fi space combat shooters are a niche genre today, so while I’m thankful Chorus exists, much of the game is a relatively linear and mundane slog, punctuated by a few epic encounters here and there that live up to a galactic fantasy.
If you’re a fan of space combat and can push your way through the first couple hours, I’m fairly confident you’ll find a lot to like in Chorus. The core dogfighting is just plain fun, and the setpiece fights are something to see. If you’re not already a genre fan, however, I’m not entirely sure this will be the game to win you over.
Chorus does an admirable job of trying to carve out its own identity in a genre that deserves the attention, but it just doesn't stick the landing. If you're a fan of arcade spaceship shooters and narrative adventures there's probably enough here to chew over, but there's just not much that Chorus has to offer that hasn't already been done better elsewhere. Despite being set in a gorgeous pocket of space and offering up some interesting ideas it sadly misses the mark in just about every way.
A chorus lacking harmony.The galactic expanse has proven to be a fertile canvas for game developers to utilise. Fishlabs gives us [...]
“Chorus' stellar space combat is brought down by a myriad of design choices that range from frustrating to outright annoying.”
Chorus tells the story of Nara, an ex-disciple of a cult called The Circle, and responsible for the destruction of Namika Prime. Stricken with guilt over the atrocities she committed in their name, she flees to the far side of the galaxy, hoping to atone for her sins far away from her former Master.
