WTF Sequence redux is an insane experience. GamesBeat purchased its own iOS copy for this review.LOW A rammer lunging in from offscreen at the worst possible moment. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions is out now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PC, Mac, Linux, and iOS. It’s a game that absolutely must be on your iOS device. The graphics and music are as good as ever, the variety and options are staggering, and the controls work. Geometry Wars 3: Dimensions brings the series’ gorgeous, twin-stick action successfully to iOS. It doesn’t happen enough to bring the entire game down, but once is plenty. But it was a compensation that should never be necessary. I eventually developed a workaround for this issue: I just focused on movement and let firing take care of itself. Twin-stick shooters depend on providing players with maximum flexibility of movement and fire, and anything that interrupts either of these is an affront. It costs a fraction of a second to compensate, but this is a game based on perfect timing and establishing a rhythm, so even an ill-placed eye blink can bring down a great run. And I couldn’t get going again until I lifted up my left thumb and then put it back down.

It’s great that you can override the automatic fire and aim manually, but you pay for it: It feels like the game stumbles a little bit while switching between the two options. I often found myself unable to move while immediately after entering or leaving manual fire mode. Stuttering between auto and manual fire will get you killed Taking down a boss gets you a Resogun-style victory lap. One will fire in the same direction you do, doubling your firepower, while another will leave you to fight while it runs around and collects the multiplier-boosting “Geoms” that defeated enemies drop.Īll of these things combine to ensure that the game stays fresh every time you play, and you have plenty of opportunities to try everything and develop your play style.
You can also throw your own wrinkles in with your choice of drones. After a few levels, you start unlocking little flight buddies that are specialized for different tasks. The game throws in some old-style, flat arenas from time to time, and it has enough map types and modes to make sure that every level plays differently. You’ll have to move differently around a peanut-shaped world, for example, than a cubic one with blind corners and a larger area to maneuver in.
The three-dimensional levels add variety and challenge, and they invite new strategies. New modes include Rainbow, which has you scrambling around a three-dimensional world destroying special enemies before they can “paint” the entire map a different color. Some of the classics are back, like Pacifism, which takes your guns away and makes you run through gates and over mines to destroy enemies and King, in which you can only fire within designated zones on the screen. I’m not just talking about modes here, although Dimensions has plenty of those.
