Mindless blasting is, thankfully, neither encouraged nor welcomed here. This allows for some tricky maneuvering, like trying to pick off enemies from outside of their most effective ranges. Your standard laser rounds follow the curvature of the map, but only for a short distance. Enemies on the other side of the map can be seen before they’re encountered, letting you better judge the opposition and ration your limited weapons. This choice sounds strange on paper, as it literally sends you around in circles, but the result is novel and refreshing gameplay. Many shooters are fought on a flat plane, but Resogun takes that plane and wraps space onto itself, creating a cylindrical battlefield. In its short but highly replayable campaign, Resogun creates an energetic, beautiful, and addictive loop of score chasing that’s tough to break free from. After a few rounds of Housemarque’s latest and most impressive twin-stick shoot ‘em up, those bearings blurred and gave way to one simple mantra: move or die. Before playing Resogun, those four words correspond to distinct directions.
