The game doesnt necessarily feel like a huge leap from bh2, which i got from humble bundle years ago, but it does have some improvements and features I appreciate. The galaxy wide conquest like gamemode is especially fun.

All the Beat Hazards are are fun. This is no exception. The galaxies add an extra layer of complexity and a sense of exploration. If you want to listen to music while gaming and chill, this is the best way to do it.

I played Beat Hazard during my childhood, so I am genuinely surprised to see the game is still alive in 2024. My overall experience is good, I haven't played this game for a long time so I need to familiarize myself again. It's still the same game, with few changes and things that made my experience pretty sour. First of all, the move to 3D graphics is cool and shows how the game have progressed since the first title. Despite a change in the game engine, it still plays the same like the 2D games before this. The added features such as ship customization, and the ability to create your own galaxy/campaign is a welcome addition. Haven't explored the galaxy creation much, and will try it at a later time. That is, in one factor, because the user interface is super confusing. All text use the same font and it is painful to see. Buttons and menus are cluttered. It is not acceptable to have this approach in UI/UX at today's age. The game also uses AI art to illustrate icons. These AI icons have contrasting style with the overall Beat Hazard aesthetic, and made the game cheaper that it actually is. Overall I still recommend this game. The core gameplay is still the same, with added features. But I would warn you about those issues, if you're okay with that then by all means play this game. If not, then stick to the first Beat Hazard and you won't miss anything.

So based on the minimal percentage of people with low hanging achievements of this game, it's pretty obvious it's either not very popular, or people don't play it seriously. I played Beat Hazard 2 quite a bit for this type of game, and now having played this one for almost ten hours, I can definitely see why I prefer part 2 over this. I can appreciate the way this game uses random generation in creating new ships as a reward. I also appreciate the attempt to create some sort of community through the use of randomly generating galaxies for fellow players to explore. Howerve, don't go into that option with tons of excitement. Depending on how much music you use, it would take a lot more effort than it's worth creating one. I have accumulated quite the collection of music in my life, and sitting around configuring everything in my galaxy would take more time than it's worth. It is also hard for me to justify spending time creating something when how many other people are out there generating galaxies and configuring them for the same music? I'm not a fan of redundant work. Also, given how few people appear to be playing it, it doubly isn't worth the time. The biggest loss to me is the inability to truly make and configure your own ship. While you can modify the stats of ships you find, the inability to custom make a ship really hurts the game. Especially since in the ten hours of playing a variety of different kinds of music, I have yet to find a ship that has some backward firing bullets or beams. I definitely like some of the new weapons and enemies added to the game. The new ability to briefly fire a beam to defeat enemy shields and other weaponry is an interesting tactical addition. I'll play long enough to fully build out all the weapons and maybe modify the stats of some ship that I particularly like. Incidentally, that is one achievement I have that such a low percentage of people have that blew my mind, is having all of the addtional weapons. That takes little effort to achieve. Odds are I'll go back to playing BH2 whenever I'm carving to just listen to music and play a shooter. I love the ship I made for that game, and it just makes playing it much more enjoyable. It's worth checking out this game. I don't give it an outrageously high recommendation, but it's good simple fun with enough difference between the graphics, weapons, and enemies to make it worth trying if you've played the previous installments of the game.

Game is real good, elevated even more if you use a virtual output for your Open Mic source so you can still be in a voice chat or listening to something else at the same time without that interfering. Solo play has been great so far! Both the galaxy campaign mode and arcade modes have been a lot of fun. Having some weird bugs with screen sharing cooperative play, though: Attempting to start any Standard mode in Party play will cause the game to end instantly when using Open Mic but Survival works just fine. Neither of those modes properly do the listening countdown for Open Mic and just go straight into the match, that might be related.
