“Minus Zero” Brings Crazy Lock-on Action

Minus Zero is another crazy shooter game from Triangle Service that’s part of their Shooting Love 20XX compilation, this one having released on June 16, 2016. Yet, unlike some of the other games you may have seen from them, this one isn’t as much a shooter as it is a missile launching game. Basically, you must use your targeting system to lock onto as many enemies as possible as quickly as possible and then unleash a barrage of missiles to take them out quickly, all while dodging and “wiggling” around to keep free of enemy attacks.

What makes this game even more challenging (and frustrating!) is that it’s essentially a roguelike: dying means you have to start the game over from the very beginning!

This is pretty much a “one and done” kind of game that you’ll want to take in short bursts. However, it’s only $1.99 on Steam so the cost of entry isn’t very high.

If you like shooters like this, and don’t mind spending $1.99 for a short arcade experience, give Minus Zero a shot – you may just like it!
