Considering humanity's fondness for destruction, it's surprising that we're not bombarded with more space-based twin-stick shooters on the Wii U. It can be satisfying to destroy alien things with an explosion of pixels and particle effects, yet we're not given enough opportunities to do so.
Eclipse Games, which previously brought Super Toy Cars to the Wii U eShop, has now announced Tachyon Project for the Wii U and a range of other systems, including Xbox One and PC. It's described as a story-driven twin-stick shooter, with the following from the press release.
Jack from SwitchEra.net writes: "Tachyon Project is a dual stick shoot-em-up that has a striking resemblance to Geometry Wars. It is also a game that forced me to Google what on Earth a “Tachyon” was. On top of that, it features a mode very peculiar for the genre: a story. In fact, to quote the article from the official page for the game on Nintendo’s site, Tachyon Project is “driven by a story,” a description that might be a bit of a stretch."
Game Hype Wrote: "Survive the Waves! Twin-stick shooters are games that I do enjoy, however they can get very hard, very quickly! However, the simplistic approach and arcade-esque gameplay is what draws players in all the time"
The dual-stick shooter Tachyon Project is out now for Nintendo Switch digitally via the eShop for $9.99 / €9.99.
