Game Review & Impressions
---------------------------------------------------
I'd never heard of Isolated Warrior until it popped up in my socials feed, but it certainly piqued my curiosity. What attracted me to this was the art style and unusual viewpoint, and it makes for an interesting game.
Essentially, this is a not-quite-vertically scrolling shooter. You must blast your way through waves of enemies using your laser gun, which has two methods of fire. Spread-shot gives you a wider angle and coverage of fire, but lower damage, while straight-shot is stronger and more focused beam, but you'll need to move around more to line up shots. You also get fire bombs, also upgradable, which can be used to clear out the screen of lower ranking enemies, as well as activate secret portals hidden throughout each stage.
Isolated Warrior isn't particularly innovative in terms of gameplay, but it's a decent enough shoot 'em up, boasting some cool visuals. The overall aesthetic reminded me of Core Design's Skeleton Krew, although this came much later. Overall, not a bad game - worth checking out.

I love that the music is more likely rekaxing and not pitching sou ds that never changes, to makes you have huge headaches... I love your play. Always clean, noticing the mysic is more ñike the 80s, i will supose that the main character (the playable) is man. The other things that i saw is that the game changes from walking, to ridding a motorbike, then walking to flying a flying vehicle. Just according the "story" of the game passing through. Cooool tjo!!!
