SummaryWe Are Doomed is a twin-stick shooter in which you zap polygon baddies with an absurdly overpowered laserbeam. The laserbeam can be charged into a SUPERBEAM, which goes all the way across the screen zapping everything it touches in short order. The game features a unique lo-fi aesthetic, with bold shapes, glitching geometry, and neon colours. [Ve... Read More

A transcendent fusion of color, music and movement, We Are Doomed is as close as you will get to poetry in a twin-stick shooter.

We Are Doomed is a fantastic take on the twin-stick shooter, showing that you can take the basics of a genre and still make something fresh with enough creativity and style.

This game is a generic twin stick shooter without any gimmicks, uniqueness or good playability. It has two modes, "endless" which is an arcade mode and "waves" where you complete 30 levels with checkpoints at 10 and 20. There is a super power shot that you need collect a lot of things for that doesn't last long unless you are collecting more stuff and hardly seems worth it. Not much else is here. Lots of spawning on top of your ship with very little warning. Often hard to see what is going on because it always vomiting indie graphics all over the place. Hard to recommend when Geometry Wars 3 and Super Startdust Delta exist on PS4.

If you want a twin stick shooter, you're better off with Crimsonland. If you want this kind of artwork, you're better off with Tempest. An annoying bad buy...

I really enjoyed the time I spent with We Are Doomed but I cannot overlook the price and length of the game.

Giving players only a tiny laser to kill bad guys with puts a unique and interesting spin on the typical top-down shooter model, and beautiful visuals offer a nice retro feel.

As a whole, We Are Doomed doesn't quite meet its asking price. While what's here can be compelling for a short while, it quickly loses appeal. However, it's certainly not doomed, as it's a solid arcade shooter with a gorgeous – if occasionally distracting – art style and fitting music.

Even a solid game needs some spice, and We Are Doomed never gives you much. You will certainly notice how good it feels to play the game, and the presentation is top notch, but it never really gives you a reason to care.

Being brash, there is really nothing in this game. There is the overly simplistic game mechanics, only one weapon, and that’s pretty much it.

If you’ve played any of these twin-stick shooters, of which Geometry Wars still remains the best for my money, you’ll know exactly what to expect in terms of gameplay. Unfortunately We Are Doomed does nothing that hasn’t been seen countless times before and the graphical style often makes it very difficult to see where all the enemies are on screen leading to frustrating deaths.
