About the game

In the slow-motion bullet-hell of Blaston, you duck, dodge, and weave to evade incoming attacks while preparing your dazzling next combos in a flash of skill. You feel like Neo and leave each session with your heart racing in this super fun tactical workout. Most importantly... Never. Stay. Still.

What players say

Good fun in short bursts. The weapon choice provides creates an entertaining learning curve though I find it more interesting to create identical gun sets for friendly duels.

Yes. Blaston is fun once you understand it. At the beginning, it won't be as much fun. There is a specific rhythm and learning curve to the duels in Blaston. After you get it Blaston is almost perfect.

Dude this game is so fun if you have a buddy to play with, even if you don't think you'll play for a long time you should absolutely try it since it's free anyway
