It is strange to see a game produced in part by a record company, but the aptly named Boom Chick Chick does get a lot of its identity from the death metal soundtrack supplied by Razorback Records. Produced by the prolific Silver Dollar Games, it gives you and 3 other players a lot of monsters to slay in a twin-stick shooter environment. Actually, twin stick is a lie. This game is one stick.
It follows the standard formula of top-down one/twin-stick shooters by throwing tons of enemies at you, forcing you keep moving and keep shooting. It does do few things differently though, most notably is the power orb. You have to stop the monsters from capturing the power orb and carrying it outside the screen.
To do this you move your character around with the left stick, while the game auto targets and shoots anything within range of your weapon. You have three weapons to cycle through, each offering a different range: shotgun, machine gun and sniper rifle. Now this is a good thing for non gamers as you don’t have to worry about pressing the wrong buttons, but taking the ability to actually shoot the gun takes a lot of the control from the player. A little too much control.
