Ballistic may share some of the traditional twin-stick conventions with Inferno+, but, in many ways, it’s the antithesis of the latter’s steadily-paced trek through a vast array of ever-changing landscapes. Ballistic is, conversely, a standard, prototypical twin-stick package that has an unashamed crack at drawing on the notable success of such genre luminaries as Geometry Wars and Beat Hazard in its attempt to tap into the zeitgeist of arcade-style, score-driven madness.
"Ballistic is a class-driven squad-based multiplayer shooter. It started much more simply, with a large skill tree from which players could draw. As Rumble watched, they noticed players adopting specific styles of play and directed Aquiris to use these to create the attributes for the individual classes."
