Cyberpulse

Dodge bullets in cyberspace and hurl your opponents into the firewall.

With its colorful neon aesthetics, “Cyberpulse” looks like a classic arcade twin-stick shooter at first glance, but that’s not quite right, because you can’t shoot at all. Rather, it should be called an arcade twin-stick thrower, because you have to use your cyberkinetic powers to throw your opponents into deadly firewalls. You press a button to project a circular shield in front of you, which you can then move with the analogue stick.

“Cyberpulse” offers a 2-player co-op campaign where you complete increasingly difficult levels and unlock new challenges along the way. In addition to regular battles against waves of viruses, there are occasional boss battles. In versus mode, you duke it out with up to three other players. A large number of (frankly very similar) arenas are available and the experience can be customised with extensive settings. With these options you can turn “Cyberpulse” from a casual party game into a competitive arcade brawler.

The game is challenging and fast-paced, which is emphasised by the characteristically bright visuals. The fact that, compared to similar titles, the focus is on dodging and blocking rather than shooting is an interesting concept. Overall, “Cyberpulse” is worth a look for arcade fans who like to spend some time on the sofa with friends.

Why you should play it:

• There is a co-op campaign for two players with approximately 50 levels.
• Chaotic gameplay in versus mode for up to 4 people with extensive settings.

Please note: The co-op mode can only be played with a maximum of 2 people. Although the game supports keyboard and mouse, we recommend using a gamepad.
