Pros: + The level of quailty and polish in this title, despite its graphical style, is astounding + The pixel graphics fit the game, as its an almsot perfect callback to the arcades. + Gameplay is fluid and tight. Each wave is a new challenge to surmount, and in later levels strategies can be formed to defeat each wave. + For a shoot'em-up style game, the story is exceptional. The story-telling in the game is both clever and well-written. + You can shoot the credits + The Aratus, the opposing force to the humans, are more interesting aliens than those in other games + Bosses were creative. They weren't just bullet sponges, and the mind-control mechanic is realy put to the test in these fights. There were all rewarding to defeat + For once, points were something I acutally cared about. I felt amazing to see those numbers go up. Cons: - The difficulty spike of the last level was unwarranted; the levels leading up to it should've matched this difficulty slope - There was inexplicable fps drops at seemingly random* moments, despite my computer being more than capable of running the game * "Random" meaing completely unpredictable. Happened about 3 times in 10 hours of play (No general interval of time between them) Final thoughts: A must-buy if on sale. Even if it isn't, I'd say its worth the $10 anyway. Gameplay is innovative in the best kind of way. It honestly just makes sense, rather than being some weird gimmick. Art syle is fantastic, even with its low resolution. Game is polished and has a level of quality other companies seem to forget when they go for a 16-bit art style. Category Score (x/10) Presentation 9 Gameplay 10 Narrative 8 Overall 9.3

This is a fun game that is unique. You possess enemy ships and attack the enemy with them. You can possess one ship at a time and change ships with a button press. Each ship has a limited amount of weapons and damage it can take before being destroyed. If the ship you're possessing gets destroyed, you have to start the area over again. The game progressively gets harder and has ways to prevent you from possessing ships. Sometimes you have to possess other objects like rocks, but you have to be careful not to go offscreen or you'll have to restart the section. You have each ship's basic weapon and the button to switch to another ship. I don't think its worth $10, but I gladly paid $1 for it during the summer sale. I have 1.5 hours into the game. If its on a sale, consider getting it if you want a unique and challenging shooter.

Overall, it's a damn fine shooter. The mechanics are unlike any I'd ever seen, it actually has a running (and apparently mutable) story, and it doesn't rely on being a bullet hell to be challenging. The sound is great when it comes to having an old-school sound without sounding too... beepy-boopy. The music adds quite well to the atmosphere to boot!

Enemy Mind is a call back to 80's style gameplay with modern upgrades that fixes the problems that older games had. It will frustrate you to no end with the learning curve with each level and wave, but that's where the fun of the game is. Its not so difficult that new players will struggle, but its definitely difficult enough to challenge most players. The main mechanic, jumping from ship to ship, is awesome. I did not expect it to work as well as it does in this game. I highly recommend it for its excellent use of this simple element.
