The Bargain Bin: Savant - Ascent


Here is a game that is definitely worth it's place in the Bargain Bin. A unique type of shooter called twin stick where you use one stick to fire and aim and the other to control the character. The main strengths of this game are the music and the gameplay. The actual artist Savant made the music for the game and for the price you're getting a steal! It has a very retro, video game feel, but in a modern way. The gameplay is tricky at first but once you advance to the later levels, you'll be blasting and dodging like a pro, thanks to the tight controls. 

Throughout the game special enemies appear that will drop a shattered record. Collect four of these to unlock a music track and a special power that will assist or improve your shots. There isn't a lot of enemy variety, but because the game itself is short but action-packed, it can be overlooked. Not too long ago the developers added a free expansion called The Void that adds two extra levels. Even more incentive to pick up this title! Check it out!
