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."
Analog Addiction writes, "It feels weird to start off a review by giving you advice, but if you happen to purchase Kromaia, press F1 or F2 to change the camera. You won’t find this advice anywhere in the key bindings, and my experience with the game was made better when I accidentally stumbled upon it. Kromaia is a space combat game developed by Kraken Empire and published by Rising Star Games. Kromaia is a polarising experience. Its visuals and sound design filled me with pure joy as colourful, fluorescent explosions filled the screen. Yet, the often chaotic nature of combat and a few frustrating mechanics quickly turned that joy into agony."
