One of Your Free April PlayStation Plus Games Has Already Been Revealed

##Glum##

I was intrigued by this seeing as it was made by ex Retro Staff. Glad it's a Plus game. Also ten v ten multiplayer, they clearly wanted a community to kick it off.

It looks awesome.

Definately very different and doesnt look too bad all though I am starting to wonder why are we still getting indie games from ps plus its a bit wierd

Looks pretty rad...

Sorry to be the buzzkill but that doesn't look fun at all. Might not even activate it in my library

Looks nice thanks sony <3 i kind of like the games they give for free every month , good for me

I had really high hopes for it when I heard it was by ex Metroid Prime devs, as I love me some Metroid
>sees "10 vs 10 multiplayer"
>fudge that shilling

Sony needs to do one with this business. I'm fine with indies, but for every mp game that does well (rocket league) there's a hundred secret ponchos' that nobody cares about.

Certainly not a game I want and therefore a little disappointed. So far this year, not 1 game has appealed to me and can count the hours I have spent playing IGC games over the last year on my hands giving them a 'try'. From my perspective, it isn't worth the (limited) HDD space and therefore won't be downloading.

We have enough top down twin stick shooters. You can stop now.

Seriously, it looks like every other game is a twin stick shooter. They're the new 8 bit puzzle platformer.

@Johnnycide The real problem with twin-stick shooters and schmups we're seeing so often now is that so little of them get it right. Look, if you give me Alienation or Dariusburst with Plus, I'm gonna be the happiest gamer that month because those are games from devs who simply know what they are doing. Unfortunately it isn't so easy as it looks to make a good twin stick shooter and especially a 10 v 10 multiplayer game is insane like you pointed out. Funny you mention Secret Ponchos, cause that was the first game I thought about when I saw Dead Star's trailer... I mean come on, Dead Star, really? They even couldn't come up with a name that sounds original.

Nice for the relatives of the developers who pre ordered though. Although I can totally imagine one of the dev's moms saying to her son: "I'm sorry Billy, I can only spend my money once and I had my eyes set on Salt and Sanctuary already"

Looks nice but I won't be giving it any significant time on PS4, if it was on Vita it'd get more time, eventually.

This game looks great. Thought it was going to be free on ps plus because they removed it from pre-order on the Canadian store. Would have been happy to have bought it.

This looks like a fantastically fun game, really impressed by the trailer. Could have another Rocket League here in terms of popularity. Can't wait to give it a go.

No credit to Sony for giving the guy a refund? Seems a pretty nice gesture but so many people just fixated on me, me, me.

This looks OK , will give this one a go.

@hi_drnick They were probably meant to keep the information to themselves and so the refund has been rescinded!
Not keen on multi-player games being included in IGC as it is little interest to us single player gamers.

@hi_drnick when I read that I was like WOW 😱
First time I have heard of Sony doing something like this. Only negative is if BLAMDrew wanted to own this game instead of just having it in his Plus library.

Look at Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition, it can't be purchased anymore so they only way a Plus Member would have access to it would to keep their subscription going.

I have actually been wanting to buy Dead Star so this means I'm already happy with April no matter what else comes.

Sorry. Looks terrible. The MP aspect doesn't tempt me either. Here's hopping the other Games on offer will be better.

@stevejcrow I'm with you. Not a fan of multi-player games in general, mostly because I'm useless at them lol. I am an SP gamer and although I have tried (many) MP games I just can't do them. My control pad would have to be replaced on a weekly basis lol. So, this is half of April's games I'll be giving a miss. I won't complain like some though because I know there are a lot of folk out there who love these types of games and don't play SP. Remember folks, it all comes down to personal preference

I pre-ordered this game and played the beta and the video doesn't do it justice. This game is more like a moba fighting for lanes and eventually earning enough points to cap the last base and destroy it. The ships all have different abilities and excel at different game play. I can honestly say this is a great game to have in any library all it really needs is a bigger community.

not complaining because I've yet to play this game but it looks awfully similar to GalaxZ which we just got last month. a little diversity in the ps plus catalog wouldn't hurt but I'll reserve judgement until after I play it.

Not interested. Will not play it. It's nice they gave out a refund though.

I somewhat enjoy vertical shooters I'm a little worried about how small your ship looked at times causing frustration but we'll see in april.

This looks great, but, another twin stick shooter, seriously? I came into this gen hungry and excited for them, it's one of my favourite genres but it feels like 60% of PS+ games are them lately.

Here's a list of ones we've had on PS+ since PS4 launch, just from memory so there's probably more:

Resogun
Dead Nation
Pixeljunk Shooter
Secret Ponchos
Lara Croft and the Temple of Osiris
Helldivers
Flame Over
Super Stardust HD (PS3)
Geometry Wars 3 (Vita)
and TxK kinda counts.

That's just from memory and I'm sure there's more. Also they are great games, almost a definitive list of the entire genre. But WOW give us a little variety. I'm not even asking for retail games just something different.

This doesn't look great for me, because I really don't care about multiplayer at all.
