Story & Themes

Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved is very simplistic in design, much like classic arcade games. Consequently, the game lacks a storyline, instead favoring gameplay. Players control a claw-shaped object that can shoot and move in any direction. The goal of the game is to survive as long as possible while avoiding geometrical enemies. Players have a set number of lives, and once all lives run out the game is over.

Difficulty

The controls are easy to pick up, but racking up a high score requires practice and some degree of skill.

Heads Up!

Violence The game is technically classified as a shooter, but the only weapons present are your ship's guns and the enemies are 2-D shapes.
