Enter the Gungeon and Nuclear Throne immediately come to mind in regards to modern top-down shooters. SYNTHETIK enters the fray, foregoing cartoonish aesthetics for authentic gunplay.
A modern roguelite that smacks of retro charm, SYNTHETIK is a bumpy blast with plenty of creativity to it. The Finger Guns review.
James writes - "After spending a couple of years on PC, the rogue-lite, pretty hardcore shooter SYNTHETIK is ready to be unleashed in its ultimate form, containing a shed load of content. That’s right, developers Flow Fire Games have officially confirmed SYNTHETIK: Ultimate for a 16th December release on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch."
SYNTHETIK: Arena is a fully free-to-play, standalone expansion pack for the original SYNTHETIK. Released just yesterday as a sort of a taste of what SYNTHETIK really is, it's perfect for those who've been on the fence about buying it.
