Tempest 4000 Review (Nintendo Switch OLED)
We go on a retro trip with our Tempest 4000 Review, a visually stunning, action-packed tube shooter based on the classic hit arcade game, Tempest. Developed by legendary game designer, Jeff Minter, Tempest 4000 remains faithful to the original fast-paced gameplay by putting you in control of the Claw, a powerful spacecraft equipped to destroy deadly creatures and other obstructions with rapid-fire shots on vibrant geometric prisms.

- Sensitive analog movement.
- Doesn’t feel that much different from previous games.
- Feels a tad limited.
- Looks and plays a lot like TxK.
