Nayan from Playism here again to talk to you about our next release.
Some worlds can’t simply be described. They must be experienced. They defy words, and it’s probably better that way.
You’re not going to be able to fully describe what you experience when you play Prismatic Solid for the first time, but at least you’ll be able to tell your friends what it’s all about. Developed by Japanese Indie developer YO1 KOMORI, Prismatic Solid is a classic Japanese style vertical shoot-em-up set in an abstract world of shapes and lights, reminiscent of modern art.
"The classic arcade shoot em’ up/bullet hell genre was primarily designed, as we all know, as a way to swallow coins. As such, the brutal nature quickly became one of the staple characteristics for the genre. Some players took this as a challenge and began mastering the art, while others, even those who were interested in the concept, shied away in search for friendlier, more inviting game genres. Prismatic Solid, published by Playism and developed by Japanese indie developer YO1 KOMORI, attempts to reel back the players who ran away in hopes that they fall in love, and stay for more." -- PlayStation Enthusiast
NelMaNo writes for P&L: "Prismatic Solid is one of the most visually stunning shmups I have ever played."
It's been decades since shoot 'em ups began captivating gamers and the genre is still going strong. Prismatic Solid offers a unique take on the classic formula, but is this colourful shooter solid enough to warrant a download?
