Blast Waves is a tactical arcade shooter where time only moves as you move, and every shot counts. Play through the rogue-like Survival Mode as a fresh recruit. Rapidly gain new weapons and abilities while trying to make it through an intergalactic conflict. Most troopers won't make it. The few that do survive become permanently playable as clone squad commanders. In the auto battler-like Command Mode, players build and organize squads while fighting to last as long as possible against overwhelming odds. Key Features: -Survival Mode: Build a character from the ground up across multiple battles. -Command Mode: Characters that make it through Survival Mode can be selected to lead squads against increasingly overwhelming odds. -100s of weapons, armor types, and gadgets to unlock. -6 unique biomes with destructible terrain and distinct environmental challenges. -Dozens of allied and enemy troop types to learn and master. -Skill-based joystick shooting and tap-to-target control schemes. -Holotags record the unique exploits of every character.
Controls -_-
The controls for this game are atrocious. Avoid this game at all costs.
The Update Deserves Another Star From Me!
I was happily surprised by the new update and thought it was crazy how close it came out to the release of Ultra Blade! I have been enjoying the added weapons and Gorrian home world level! Already said it before but this is a great and unique game, and Kyle Barret is an amazing dev! If you like this game check out his other stuff, especially the first one I played by him, a century spanning vampire rogue-like called Rogue Immortal!
A new game from Kyle Barrett? Shut up and take my money!
Kyle Barrett is a solo developer who is passionate about the games he makes. He literally makes the games he wants to play, and wow, I want to play them too! Every one of his games is a gem. Here’s to many more Kyle Barrett games! I am in my first playthrough now, and I am loving the game. I am using the default controls Kyle created, and I find them intuitive and fun. Just gotta get used to not starting on your character when you want to move the camera, and always starting on your character when you do want to move. The backstory of my character is cool, and it is fun to see his impressive list of accomplishments grow. I always love unlockables, and Blast Waves has tons of them! Going rogue now. Get the game and have a Blast!
Great game
This is a great game and it has lots of potential. I do think that there should be more to the survival story than just ending with command mode. I think there should be like a campaign of some sort where you can continue to grow and conquer worlds and win battles. There should be some kind of end goal. Maybe you could make a mode where you are actually fighting a war and have to liberate the planets and continue fighting and liberating planets until your commander dies. The commander mode has no weight to it, you just endlessly fight until you die and then do it all over again. There should be other modes and other campaign style elements just to give the game a lil more spice. I do think that it’s a pretty good game though. Will there be any updates in the future?
Control mechanics
Concept is good, but the control is too clunky. Why not give us a virtual joystick to control moving, and an emergency fire button to shoot the closest enemy.
Let's talk!
The game is overall good. The only thing that needs to be fixed is the camera control. Every time I try to love the camera it doesn't move and I die and it's extremely frustrating.
It’s amazing
It’s a great game with amazing action and strategy it’s like FTL on the ground!
