    Sonar Shock is on SALE until July 11 - which is absolutely insane considering how cheap the game already is. store.steampowered.com/app/2673660/Sonar_Shock

    If I had a nickel for every time I saw a game where you play as a member of a communist military and your facility has completely fallen to some sort of haunting/virus...I'd still have two Nickels, but it's weird that it happened twice and the other time was Signalis.

    Not a review suggestion, but Earth Defense Force 6 is getting the western release around July 24th. Considering the game allows for split-screen coop, that might make for a good time if you two share the same neighborhood. Break out beverages of choice, relax while raining hellfire on a hundred jumping spiders.

      Is that series in any way related to the end-80s side-scrolling shooter arcade title with the rad music?

      @@BluntEversmoke Doesn't seem anything alike. If you want a SHMUP with good music, you can try Tyrian 2000, or Jets & Guns.
      EDF is a 3rd-person game where you can summon airstrikes on Godzilla, ants, and flying saucers all at once, and literally has hundreds of 3D enemies on the screen at the expense of frame rates. If you are into sci-fi B movies, the series is the finest cheese, and has legit strategy for loadout and approach.

    Tho I would've preffered a more dark and serious tone and presentation for the game, I do enjoy me some System Shock 1 art style and and gameplay system, 2 out of 3 boxes checked it's good enough for me and i'll give the game a shot, great review heroes, much love.

      Almost feel like it's better in the indie sphere, can't really think of what a big studio would improve other than graphic fidelity. There's a lot to be said for a small studio with a tight vision. Maybe a AA studio along the size of Spiders or Cyanide would be a better choice?

      Well, there's militsioner currently in the making. And then there's system shock 2 remake, I'm sure nightdive will remake this game as well but yeah, it'll take some time till this happens. As for right now, it seems like fallen aces is a good option.
