Preview by Harvard L. Kraken Empire's upcoming shooter, Kromaia, is aiming to be an experience like no other. Promising a complex piloting system featuring six degrees of movement, the 3D shooter aims to strike a balance between arcade style action and a deep sense of exploration. It's an ambitious goal for a small development team, and although the project might be alienating for some, it's clear that there will be a niche of players who will fall in love with this frenetic and exuberant shooter.
The big draw of this game, for many players, will be its six-degrees-of-freedom movement. This actually sounds a lot better on paper than in practice however - rarely will you ever need to utilise every possible movement option. The system does feel rewarding for players willing to play creatively and test out what they can do, but more casual players can ignore the rolls and strafes to play Kromaia as if it were an iteration in the Star Fox series.
