"The shoot ‘em up (or shmup) genre has a history of awesome games both in the arcade and home console space. Still, the genre feels somewhat resistant to change. Developer Kraken Empire hopes to shake up the formula with its upcoming shoot ‘em up Kromaia. Instead of using expected 2D, 2.5, or on-rails 3D gameplay, this title grants players full movement freedom in a visually distinct 3D space."
Continue Play's Jodie Rodgers goes hands-on with Kraken Empire's debut title Kromaia - a retro-inspired shoot-em-up on PC, published by Rising Star Games.
Great for short bursts of play as the highly aggressive enemies and intense visuals are actually a little draining; merits a look if you enjoyed Rez.

Gale writes -"Kromaia is a fun game that won’t have any difficulties in distracting you for a couple of hours. With tight gameplay mechanics and only a couple of hitches to go with it, not to mention the stunning visuals and great audio effects, it’s an easy recommendation for all of those who want to play something equally modern and retro at the same time."
