It is that dash that really enhances the gameplay here. The triggers here are reserved for special weapons (missile launchers, lasers, charged shots and a sword which you won’t want to use) and, on the left trigger, a dash move which grants you a quick burst of speed coupled with related period of invincibility. Nex Machina just lets you point and the bullets follow. For some reason most twin-stick shooters insist on you pressing the right trigger to actually shoot. The robots have the numbers but you’ve got the firepower at your fingertips… well, thumbtips… to even the odds and pressing the right analog stick in any direction makes your character fire a heap of plasma in the corresponding angle.

Each world is separated into fifteen stages and punctuated with a boss battle.
#Resogun vs nex machina full#
The game sees you (and a local co-op buddy if you so wish) making your way through six worlds all of which are full of the bastard AI scum that have near enough wiped out humanity. As expected, it is another twin-stick shooter and it comes with a degree of anticipation even if this is one of the most crowded genres on PSN these days. Nex Machina is the latest shoot ’em up from twin-stick powerhouses Housemarque, best known for the masterful Resogun and the not-quite-as-special Alienation and Dead Nation games.
