It may have a simple premise, but this PlayStation 4 title is one of the most exciting space shooters of the year.
Futuridium is a game that will reward persistent gamers with creative levels and bosses. It can be challenging and suspenseful, but most of all, it’s fun to play.

Awesome pure arcade fun at its finest.
Music is top-notch as well.
We definitely need more of this stuff.
Congratulations to the small team behind it.

If you remember Uridium on the Commodore 64 and loved it buy this game. It's an excellent modern take that doesn't spoil the memory. It is a little tricky but really well put together. A modern classic that so many indy games claim to be ... This delivers. Great controls, good visuals and cross buy. Plays just as well on the vita. For me it's way better than resogun or velocity.

With tight gameplay, sharp shooting, and a remarkable sense of style, Futuridium EP Deluxe is a delightful 3D shooter.
The levels are quite varied and imaginative, but the credit system is very punishing, although certainly attractive for those looking for a tough time.
A good arcade game with imaginative levels and a retro looking.
A wildly difficult and repetitive game. It manages to stay fairly interesting by allowing players to change songs and unlock new gameplay modes and skins, but in the end players end up repeating the same levels over and over again with no variation in them.
Futuridium is a game for those who can invest in the grind of simply 'getting the job done'. Taken on those terms, Futuridium becomes a challenge to be completed, retro looking enough to be in vogue, yet with mechanics that inhibit a broader mainstream appeal.
I'm following this game since the alpha. I love the gameplay and the graphics :). I spent at least 2 or three days trying to get a better result and unlock all levels whit the aplha. It's not easy but I really found it great to play.

If Zaxxon and Fez had a baby is would look like this. If you think this is Star Fox you are very wrong. Doesn't have much randomness. It is more of a figure out the best pattern for a high score and try to execute it. Replayabilty might seem to be limited since these are fixed levels but you aren't going to master them because it is pretty hard. Still a lot of fun. The visuals looked like they might be annoying in screenshots but I found it to actually be really pleasing and very unique. Dubstep WARNING! The music may not be to everyone's liking and I actually had to flip a few annoying songs but luckily it gives the ability to change the track with a button during the game. Vita version runs well and loads quickly and it actually seems to control easier. Seems more tuned to Vita sticks than the PS4 but you might feel differently. Cross buy so you can try it yourself.

It's an okay game, with a lot of just...better alternatives out there. Even on much older systems. This game has little variety, it's very challenging if you want to 100%, and even though sometimes you have no clue where you're about to shoot because there is no cursor, I still didn't feel as if the controls were clunky. Not a must-have in any sense of the word, but nice to keep at a low price or free (it's already passed on the PS+).

This game has nothing really great in it, nearly impossible to complete, and the controls are awkward and the game is extremely unforgiving with no difficult option.

-music will likely be unappreciated by those that dislike dubstep.
-levels, aside from bonus levels, are consistently basic, repetitive. and unenticing.
-some earlier levels seemed harder than later levels (i.e. awkward difficulty transitions/designs).
-controls are not immediately intuitive.
-aside from the ship's neon color trail and boost animation, the general visual aesthetic seemed amateur and empty.
-some distance rendering and clipping issues.
**I think this game would have greatly benefited from a level editor/designer. Similarly, a multiplayer addition would make up for the fairly lacking singleplayer experience. Overall, a mediocre contemporary take on Uridium.

Summary Futuridium EP is a retro fast paced shoot’em up with a modern twist, amazing 3D graphic and an adrenaline pumping 45 minutes original soundtrack.
