This is a cute bullet hell game. The enemies glow, the bullets glow, everything glow. There are a lot of achievements. On a scale of 1 to 10 I give this game 7 or 6.5. This is because the game has no story, you can play endless mode almost forever. If you pick powers that only upgrade you but don't decrease any stat, you can just get strong and faster – this makes the game just too easy. The game is fun overall, yet it is not complicated and not too challenging. Also, same music all the time and there is a bug when you press on the quit button.

A Simple Yet Addictive Gem in the World of Bullet Hell Games Geometry Arena is a delightful surprise in the crowded genre of bullet hell shooters. Developed by 011 Games, this indie title combines the thrill of dodging dense bullet patterns with RPG and roguelite elements, creating a unique and engaging experience that has earned it widespread acclaim on platforms like Steam. While it may not boast the most visually stunning graphics or the most complex mechanics, Geometry Arena compensates with its addictive gameplay, clever design, and a refreshing approach to the genre. Strengths of Geometry Arena Simple Yet Deep Gameplay Geometry Arena excels in its simplicity. The core mechanics are straightforward: dodge bullets, shoot enemies, and survive as long as possible. However, the game’s depth lies in its RPG-like progression system. Players can upgrade their characters, unlock new abilities, and customize their playstyle through a variety of skill trees and buffs. This combination of accessible controls and meaningful progression makes it appealing to both casual and hardcore players15. Unique Visual Style The game’s minimalist art style, featuring geometric shapes and vibrant neon colors, is both charming and effective. While some may argue that the visuals are too simplistic, the chaotic and colorful bullet patterns create a mesmerizing spectacle that enhances the gameplay experience. The contrast between the dark background and the glowing bullets makes it easy for players to track enemies and navigate the battlefield58. High Replayability Geometry Arena’s roguelite elements, such as randomized upgrades and permadeath, ensure that no two playthroughs are the same. The game also offers a variety of difficulty options, including custom difficulty settings where players can tweak enemy strength, player abilities, and other parameters. This flexibility allows players to tailor the challenge to their skill level, making it a game that can be enjoyed repeatedly58. Developer Engagement One of the most impressive aspects of Geometry Arena is the developer’s commitment to improving the game. 011 Games has actively sought feedback from the community and released numerous updates, adding new features, balancing gameplay, and addressing bugs. This level of dedication has earned the game a loyal fanbase and contributed to its success112. Affordable Price At just $18, Geometry Arena offers incredible value for its content. The game’s low price point, combined with its high replayability and engaging mechanics, makes it a must-try for fans of the bullet hell genre5. Weaknesses of Geometry Arena Visual Fatigue While the game’s visuals are striking, the constant barrage of colorful bullets and explosions can lead to visual fatigue, especially during longer play sessions. Some players have reported feeling overwhelmed by the chaos on screen, which can detract from the overall experience14. Limited Enemy Variety Despite the game’s impressive bullet patterns, the enemy designs are relatively simple. Most enemies are basic geometric shapes, and while this aligns with the game’s aesthetic, it can feel repetitive over time. Adding more unique enemy types or boss designs could have made the game feel more dynamic48. BGM Monotony The game’s soundtrack, while fitting for the genre, is somewhat repetitive. The lack of variety in the background music can make extended play sessions feel monotonous. A more diverse soundtrack could have added to the game’s immersion48. Small Playable Area Geometry Arena’s combat takes place in a confined square area, which can feel restrictive compared to other bullet hell games that allow for more freedom of movement. While this design choice likely simplifies the game’s mechanics, it limits the sense of exploration and freedom that some players might expect8. Conclusion Geometry Arena is a shining example of how a small indie team can create a memorable and engaging game with limited resources. Its blend of simple yet challenging gameplay, coupled with its unique visual style and high replayability, makes it a standout title in the bullet hell genre. While it has its flaws, such as visual fatigue and limited enemy variety, these are minor drawbacks in an otherwise excellent game. For fans of bullet hell shooters, Geometry Arena is a must-play. Its addictive gameplay and developer dedication make it a game that will keep you coming back for more. Whether you’re a casual player looking for a fun challenge or a hardcore gamer seeking endless replayability, Geometry Arena delivers on all fronts. Rating: 8.5/10 A simple yet addictive gem that deserves a place in your game library.

Unbiased opinion as I really like this game myself, but really it's kinda meh, but not too meh to be actually bad. This game is for 20 hours max, really, unless you want these lb's and be a completionist, which I don't really get as it gets boring fast. This game is 4/10 for roguelite/bh enjoyers because it's not really about repitive gaming or much enjoyment. It's worth it's price, has some cool little effects and you can make infinite round build. Recommended for rogue enjoyers and a bit for bullet hell fans (that are ready to just test out the game for the sake of it like I did), not recommended to anyone else that wants to try the game, enjoyment-wise.

It being just shaped, I thought I'd miss a fantasy flavour, or in general any flavour, but it's pretty neat. I feel like the shapes limit the uniqueness of upgrades though. You only get numbers going up, additional shots or bounces and mines. There's uh not really anything that makes me go "WOW" like different weapons would in Holocure or any other roguelite for slaying hordes. Still, lots of modifiers for runs, pretty challenging, ppl will probably love that.
