Iji 1.0

Iji is a retro style platform shooter but with a difference it has a really interesting story line which develops as the game goes on and the protagonist actually feels some remorse for the bad guys she is killing and questions why she needs to do this, her brother who is speaking to her over the speaker system of the facility that she is currently trapped inside is very coy to give out any information about what is actually going on and Iji has many questions such as why does the outside world not know about this alien invasion which could spell impending doom for everyone!

Iji is told that she must go on with what she is doing and not to question her brothers instructions but that if she does not follow them she will never have the opportunity to escape, she is also tasked with meeting one of the boss aliens and try to convince him to take his space ship home rather than destroy the world.

The game has a very retro vibe to it but it is enjoyable and it’s nice to see a shooter that has a got a little more heart and conscience you can increase your statistics and also modify your weapons by upgrading Iji as you go along so you become stronger and able to carry more impressive weapons as the game increases in difficulty.

Some small things can be a little frustrating like not being able to fire the gun while jumping or not being able to move the angle of your gun whilst shooting but these little gripes are not enough to detract from your overall enjoyment of the game.

Iji is a free download and you can get it here.
