Retimed is a local multiplayer arena shooter for 2-4 players. When a player is in danger, time slows down and a time bubble is created around the player. Now there is enough time to react and try to dodge the deadly projectiles. These time bubbles generate exciting alternations between fast-paced movement and tension-filled slowmotion moments.
Reviews
- A surprisingly great local multiplayer game that is fun and easy to grasp, making it perfect for casual sessions with friends.
- The unique slow-motion mechanics add depth to the gameplay, allowing for strategic decisions and intense moments.
- Highly recommended for local play, especially for groups of 3-4 players, with a fun and colorful art style.
- The game suffers from a lack of content, with only a few maps and characters, leading to repetitive gameplay.
- Finding online players can be challenging, and the game is best enjoyed with friends, making it less appealing for solo players.
- Single-player mode is short and could use more missions, and there are inconsistencies in physics that can be frustrating.
