Wrath: Aeon of Ruin review - a retro shooter of unprecedented scope, for better and worse

Our review of retro-shooter Wrath: Aeon of Ruin.

KillPixel's shooter demonstrates breathtaking ambition in its 3D level design, but that can come at the cost of pacing and fun.Like a demon summoned by fresh blood on its altar, Wrath: Aeon of Ruin first arose at the height of the retro-shooter revival. Later weapons include the Fang Launcher, a chaingun that literally fires teeth, and the Crystallizer, whose charged alt-fire mineralises even the toughest foe, making them shatter under a single pistol shot. They're fun to explore too, riven with secrets and unlockable chests that provide bonus items you can deploy in combat, like a heart that drains health from slaughtered foes and an energy shield that deflects projectiles.
