    A great minimalist twin stick shooter. It reminds me of a slick abstract take on something akin to 10 Tons' Crimsonland.

    Proof that a twin-stick shooter can be a work of art. Destropolis' minimalist art style is bolstered by intelligent gameplay with precision weapon and skill mechanics, and persistent level progression across play sessions. The aesthetics and gameplay are elevated by LukHash's beautiful synthwave soundtrack and the integration of tempo manipulation with Bullet Time works to create a beautiful example of digital love. -…

    A clean and simple twin-stick shooter. If you love those and really need a new one to scratch the itch go for it - it's just $5. But otherwise there are many better ones out there. There's no real progression or sense of purpose in here. It's just you and hordes of enemies, ruined buildings, and random pickups. By accumulating total score you unlock new weapons or ingame perks, sure, but most feel just the same as the other ones and there's no permanent upgrades of any sort. In that sense,…

    It's good clean fun destroying polygons that want to destroy you so its a give and take affair. Sometimes you eat the cube sometimes the cubes smash you. Didn't quite hook me but its fun enough in spurts.

    The new update is lit. My old review was still recommended, but I listed a litany of complaints and it was very negative overall. That old review is wrong, so it's gone. Of course I still recommend the game, it's a blast. So many things have been tuned, changed, and improved across the board. It's a bit easy to start now, but it's sooo fun. Explosions everywhere. More guns, better guns. If you want a chill game to zone out after a hard day, this is your ticket. You get to be the conductor…

    no replay value, you run out of ammo almost immediately, enemies scale in difficulty, and in order to match the difficulty you NEED to get extremely luck on weapon drops AND upgrades

    I like this game and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, stylish shmup, but I'm also frustrated with some of its design decisions. Like the best shmups, you have to manage a lot of things at the same time in order to be successful. Short term: Red shapes are all around in desperate need to be shot by you. They start off small, but as you progress they rise in size, hit points, and lethality. Destroying them earns you points and sometimes items. These items are either active-use guns…

    Destropolis is a simplistic, flawed twin-stick shooter that mainly qualifies as an artsy amusement that doesn't suggest reason to recommend it aside from artsy amusement. So, watch a video, think about how mildly cute it seems, then move on and forget it. You can move, shoot, and swap between your two weapons (obtained as random drops), which are limited both by "heat" (cools down while unused) and by ammo (not replenished, pick up another weapon for ammo). Enemies drift slowly at you in…

    Simple arena survival game with a small variety of weapons and abilities. I've got a little over 3 hours in this game and roughly 3 million points. I'm reaching a point where it's losing its replayability; there's a single map and the only real variable element is the limited perk selection. There is no unlockable element between runs, just the cumulative points total going up. It doesn't feel like any real progression is being made. The max achievement is for 100 million points, which based on…

    Free Switch games in North America, whoo hoo! Well, if you already own a game from No Gravity. You could buy something on sale (Destropolis is nice) and join the fun. You need to download daily to get the full 12. Today's game is Exorder. No relation, just like games. #gaming #NoGravity #Nintendo #Exorder #Switch #Destropolis

    Mindless arcade 3D low poly shooter where you fight endless waves of enemies complete with roguelite progression system, it's fun for a while but that's it. Game fully supports 21:9 display aspect ratio.

    Attack of the Polygons! Destropolis is a great time-killer. Destroy the polygons to level up and gain abilities... and try to survive as long as you can. Simple, but amazing! Plus, it's cheap! Great fun for a great price!

    This style of game is pretty well known nowadays, some versions become extremely popular for reasons that escape me completely. This variant though, should be on the top of your list. Explosively satisfying, and with an attribute noticeably missing from it's brethren's offerings, co-op! Using Steamplay you can load into local co-op for some very fun destructive buddy time, but over the net instead. Or do what I do and strap one of your small humans down next to you and share a keyboard. The…

    Destropolis, developed by Igrek Games and published by Games Incubator and PlayWay S.A., is a top-down shooter that thrusts players into a relentless and chaotic futuristic urban battleground. From the moment you start, the game demands fast reflexes and strategic positioning as you face off against waves of relentless enemies—primarily red, geometrically stylized cubes—that swarm across the cityscape. What immediately distinguishes Destropolis from other shooters is its fully destructible…

    Inexpensive polygon-destroying shooting fun. CrimsonLand is aged, and its time for a new quick dose of gun-play violence. Would like to see unlockable player "polygons" with characteristics and aptitudes (!). More weaponry and powerups are always welcome - hopefully the developer continues Destropolis efforts.

    It cheap, but what you see is really what you get. It's just a high score chaser, the same level all over again. It feels like a demo if you ask me. And I was surprised to see such a small game since it got nominated in 2023 for still bringing updates to an old game. I really really like twin stick shooters, but I don't really see a reason to play this above others. Good news is that it works flawlessly in 3D Vision tho!

    Absolute hidden gem, the gameplay rewards aggression and it fixes one of the main annoyances with other bullet hell/twin sticks: tiny weak enemies barely do any damage to you! - these enemies are typically impossible to see when you get far into other games in the genre, and it's really frustrating when they deal a whole heart of damage. The visuals are astonishing, and somehow the game runs smoother and quieter BY FAR than all the 2d games with basic graphics Only gripe so far is that…

    Normally, I don't review games of this size, however, I'm making this exception because the devs listened to the communities complaints regarding the achievements and actually decreased the points required. I get 100% in games I enjoy to show appreciation and was discouraged at the massive 1 billion points required for 100%. Props to Igrek Games and I will definitely look for more games in the future.

    Was really hoping that this could be the next Crimson Land - a simple but satisfying mouse and keyboard shooter. Sadly, the lack of variety in the enemies and weapons, combined with the bizarre decision to have both ammo and overheating limit players meant that I got bored very quickly. There are some good ideas here, and it can definitely be fun for a while. But it's missing the special something to keep you coming back over and over again.

    This is an absolutely great game! You are a blue diamond block. Your only objective? Survive. I've only played this as a one player mode, so I'll speak to it at mostly that level. Its so much fun to log onto this game for a few minutes, and run around destroying red blocks for as long as I can survive. There's definitely an element of skill to it, but even if you don't really know what you're doing you'll still have fun. And if you die? Well, you can start again! Over and over. The graphics are…

    Its on sale for 64c atm. Thats a really good price for a aesthetically pleasing twin stick shooter. Nice enough music, sounds effects etc. I like they warp the sound with bullet time. Its core gameplay loop can be well understood in 5 min - its just more of this over time. Its lacking long term progression so that "5 min loop" is what you get. Im happy enough with it for 64c.

    This is irritatingly close to being a good game. You just need to give players an actual skill tree between runs instead of just unlocking the persistent progress in a linear fashion. Either that or a purchasing system like the one in Megabonk or Vampire Survivors. Either would work.
