It’s only through a combination of rich, collaborative, and altogether interactive elements that something like this can be born, a piece of software that shirks tedious story and plodding industry conventions in favor of pummeling sound and pure, unadulterated gameplay. In that regard, Aaero is exclusively, utterly, and unapologetically ‘video game’. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to get back to the delectable, relentless wub wub inside my television.
One of the most visually and auditorily exciting games I have ever played, Aaero provides such an exciting sensory experience that I would recommend it to everyone, despite occasional frustrations and hiccups along the way.

Wow! Unquestionably one of the best indie games I ever played. So much fun, I wish there were more tracks.

It goes without saying that Aaero is something that shouldn’t be slept on. While it may not have the big budget or heavy advertising of something like Rock Band or Guitar Hero, it’s a very impressive, engaging and standout addition to the music genre. One that I sincerely hope will end up receiving the appreciation it deserves, as well as an even longer sequel.
Aaero is a wonderful introduction to the varied world of EDM with each level being a beautiful visual representation of the song being featured. Its greatest misstep is the smaller selections of songs available which prevent the game from being more than an introduction to the genre. Gaining mastery over a song evokes a sense of accomplishment that is unfelt in most other music games, in large part, due to the way Mad Fellows captures the sense of EDM. Unfortunately, the lack of customization options make return trips to the game less likely, but even those with no familiarity with EDM should make at least one trip to check out Aaero.
If you love rhythm games and bass heavy music, this is one you’re going to want to check out. The levels are gorgeous, and the gameplay is straightforward, but challenging especially towards the end.
Aaero offers a music game in the same spirit as Rez did over 15 years ago. Featuring a wide array of modern electronica tunes, it's a game that can appeal to all fans of the genre and anyone who simply wants to relax and enjoy a game focused on music. The gameplay is fun, coming in two different forms. While each of these two gameplay types has its issues, they're ultimately both fun and it's easy to look past the issues. The environments you'll play through add to the variety of the experience and keep things fresh. There is a crippling performance issue that can be frustrating, but it's rare enough that it doesn't entirely ruin the game. Aaero is a fun game that will be worth the time of anyone intrigued by the concept or fans of electronica. At US$14.99 at launch, the price is about right for eight solid hours of gameplay if you're going for the completion, and leaderboards should ensure there's more to do even past that.
Aaero wears its Rez-inspired heart on its sleeve to create a rhythm action game that both gives ua nod to the past without that we’re now well into the future, too.
I love this rhythm game, it's very unique and very fun. It gets quite difficult very fast, though.

Quel jeu !!!! Un savant mélange de Rez pour la partie "jeu musical avec shoot", Thumper pour la partie réflexe à avoir, et Panzer Dragoon pour les boss, ce jeu est fait pour vous. Personnellement je n'ai plus lâché la manette une fois la partie débutée.
La bande son est une tuerie (à jouer au casque ou sur un home cinéma de qualité), le jeu est hyper addictif et le concept simple mais redoutable.
J'y ai joué sur Series X (via le gamepass) et je l'ai fini. Je tente le 100% mais déjà en normal, y a de quoi avoir du challenge, donc en mode plus difficile ça va être le délire.
Son seul défaut ? "que" 14 niveaux. On aimerait en avoir tellement plus !!!!
Bravo à ce petit studio et merci pour cette oeuvre d'art.

I bought the game thinking it was going to be like Hyper void/Tempest, but its nothing like those two, well it does have one similarity to hyper void and that's in the environmental obstacles. Besides that the shooting style is more like Rez mixed with Laserlife. The hybrid is interesting, Its fun, and very challenging.

Getting into the rhythm
Aaero is a rhythm based twin stick shooter game... sortve
Here you only use the two joy sticks to trace the lines of the song , and the right joy stick to lock onto enemies and the trigger to fire..
that’s it as this game takes you on a journey through 18 different tracks, chasing scores and stars to unlock the next,,,
though is star and score chasing isn’t for you, there is a chill mode with all tracks already unlock for you…
At first Aaero is a bit of a thrill...
its so addicting tracing along to the beat of this electro music, blasting enemies when they would pop up…
even more so when bosses would pop up and youre trying to take them out while making sure youre not hit by other enemies or run into obstacles as youre only allowed 3 hits before you fail a track…
I was in love with this game…
Sadly though it just doesn’t do enough during its around 3 hour campaign to keep my interest
There were only a handful of songs i enjoyed tracing along to.. Which is a preference thing, I get that…
But level design is just too samey… its no thumper where things are constantly changing up and feeling different..
you don’t feel like much cool is being done around you aside from the boss battles which is a disappointment…
and for that reason its hard to be drawn in.. its hard for the game to keep your attention when it just starts to feel like more of the same despite the game getting more challenging is it goes on…
however the challenge comes in the enemies and not necessarily the song… which I feel is a mistake… slowly aaero becomes more about shooting and surviving and less about going along to the rhythm of the song playing in the background…
Aaero is still super enjoyable at times..
it made me smile plenty throughout my journey of unlocking the next difficulty..
It’s just that by time I got to the end of the campaign I wasn’t really interested in playing through again
I give Aaero
a 6.5/10
