Your gun, the ‘Gavel’ appropriately enough (it even has the two hammer sides of a judge’s gavel on the front of the barrel), can also be upgraded and modded. These add yet another three different objectives to fulfill, as well as increase the number of enemies in the mission and the placement of objectives. After Act 1, you unlock Hardcore difficulty on missions as well.

But these medals are also needed to unlock mods and augments for your JYDGE. You’ll need these medals to unlock the next mission as you advance through the game. To show progress, each successfully completed mission objective unlocks a medal. Some objectives can be daunting but they can all be easily overcome with enough planning and strategy, as well as outfitting your JYDGE with the right equipment. These objectives range from saving hostages to killing specific enemies and even beating the level in as little as 15 seconds. The structure of the game is told in four Acts and has a total of 18 missions.Įach mission starts with three objectives, with one being the primary goal before you can move on. From techno to 8-bit video-game sounds, to rock to sick fat beats: the music was groovy and worked great as background music, but got repetitive after a while of listening to it throughout the missions. The soundtrack also has a dynamic, yet eclectic range, that changed tracks every time I started or restarted a mission. You can shoot down downs, clear tables and chairs, or even blast your way through the walls! This added a level of choice to each mission that really made it feel more dynamic. There are also destructible elements in every mission, similar but more so than Neon Chrome. So much so that it’s incredibly difficult to not compare the two. The game has a definite Neon Chrome feel – neon lights, isometric POV, quick replayable missions, twin-stick mechanics, upgradable aspects. I would’ve preferred more voiceovers in the game due to the quality the studio exhibited here in this aspect. A part of me wonders if this was in any part a result of the recent video game voice actor strike but I really liked the robotic voices, as it fits the overall theme of the game, giving it even more of a futuristic sci-fi quality. Kudos to 10tons for their work in programming inflection, tone, and timbre into the voicework present in the game. Not only is your JYDGE a cold, metallic thug-killing machine but the voiceover work is also programmed electronically. What’s more, robots seemed to have taken over the world, finally. For some reason not explained, the letter U seems to be the main culprit and society has gone out of its way to replace it in every word that it’s present: jydge, jystice, shotgyn, byllets, etc.

When I first started the game, I was given a brief cutscene that introduced me to the violence and strife that is rampant in the world of JYDGE. From the studio 10tons Ltd., the makers behind Neon Chrome and Crimsonland, comes JYDGE: a new top-down twin-stick styled shooter. Whichever the case, JYDGE hits all these and more, meshing twin-stick mechanics with rogue-lite tendencies and a dash of RPG for flavor. Maybe it’s the nostalgia I feel for like games I played in the arcades as a young boy, or perhaps it’s the neon-light depicted bullets I can’t help but be entranced by. It captivates me in a way, unlike most other genres. There’s something I find special about modern twin-stick shooters, and the dance with death as you deftly dive between bullets.
