Videogame review: Lovers in dangerous spacetime
Lately we've had the opportunity to play
a bunch of quality co-op titles. One of these is „Lovers in dangerous spacetime“.
Like many others, Lovers was made solely for co-op, which is why it shines.
There was a time of co-ops in which a better player could practically monopolize
the game while others were just following. In Lovers each player is important
and without each player it is impossible to pass the level. In Lovers, 2-4
friends will take on the role of sweet little astronauts who control a
spacecraft. The ship is made in cross-section (the game is 2D) to see the main
functions of the ship: weapons, steering wheel, shield etc. Each player can of
course control only one of the functions at the time, and there are more
functions. Here, of course, the genius of the game comes to the fore. Although
some functions such as a steering wheel and a shield may be operated by one
player not to move from place to place, in order to effectively use weapons (a
total of 4 weapons, one on each side of the ship and one weapon), players will
have to move from one ship function on the other. Thanks to this, communication
is very pronounced between players as well as the feeling of helping the team
and ultimately a sense of common success. What's great is that you do not have
to be a permanent gamer to play the game, and gamers will not be bored as in a
lot of other games that have childish theme (going around in space to save
space rabbits) and it will not be repugnant to adults. So this is a family
jewel. Just so that it would not be all that simple the game provides you with upgrades
(metal, weapons and laser). Each station (shield, weapon ...) can receive two
upgrades and they can be combined. Depending on the combination, you will get
really interesting mesh-ups of new weapons, shields and engines. Just another
thing to point out is that the levels are randomly generated and that every
world (there are 4) has some of its gameplay specificities (such as special
enemies or obstacles). In short, there is a lot of variety in the game so you
can come back whenever you want, and the greatest variety is your teamwork that
will be different every time. If you have a friend or two who are willing to
play with you (it would be great to have 3 if you can), believe that you will
not make a mistake.
