Summary

Chaser Tracer is a simple game, shapes come up on the screen and you have to draw them as fast as possible. This all plays out with a neon synthwave aesthetic going on and the background is very nice. Music is OK but I played mostly with the sound off. The game is all about reflexes and Coordination, but unfortunately, the game didn’t always recognize my inputs or the timer would be so short I couldn’t afford any mistakes no matter how small. You get no settings in Chaser Tracer, no graphics, performance, or anything. Nothing is a word that is used a lot as it has encapsulated many of the game’s nonexistent features like no leaderboards, no Google play integration, or anything special or even standard. In-app purchases are not needed as it’s just tied to ability charging and how saving works bit honestly it’s just not needed. I hated that I could earn an ability charge but I had to watch an advert in order to claim it. Overall I just found Chaser Tracer to be flat and not that fun to play, it has no unique thing about it and is not that fun.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
