Oh man, where do I even start with this one? Fireball 2 from Radiangames. It’s one of those games where you either get sucked in for hours or tossed aside after five minutes. You get to be this fireball, zipping around like some kind of crazed comet, and the neon visuals? Like diving headfirst into a cyberpunk disco, if that’s even a thing.
So, here’s the deal. You’re basically dodging swarms of enemies, and you’ve gotta use these bombs—oh boy, the explosions are something. You lure the bad guys into this blast radius. It’s kinda like herding cats, but these cats explode. Not sure who thought that up, but hey, it’s a wild concept. Anyway, you’re trying to last as long as possible, climbing up the leaderboard like some arcade hero. Once the screen floods with enemies, it’s like trying to dodge raindrops in a storm. Ever tried that? Spoiler: it’s impossible.
You’ve got these modes—Core and Chaos. Yeah, the names say it all. Core is your standard game mode, and it ramps up slowly. Bombs are your buddies here; enemies keep their distance, which is nice. Once you unlock Chaos Mode, everything changes. Enemies spawn from you. I mean, really? Like, why am I creating my own problems? Anyway, it gets super intense.
Playing means you’re basically moving your fireball around with the joystick, triggering these bombs—it’s kinda like playing with fire. Literally. You can boost away from danger, but don’t get too excited. Boosting nonstop is a recipe for breaking your controller—or maybe just your patience. Who can say?
Then there’s the whole Nova thing. Once you blast enough enemies to kingdom come, a Nova pops up. It’s like a bomb but on steroids. Instant destruction, plus upgrades. Gets your fireball even bigger and faster. If you’re lucky and pull off a dual Nova, it goes nuclear, or rather, they turn into a Blackhole. Instant screen wipe. Boom.
Oh, trophies! Loads of them, and yeah, there’s a Platinum if you’re one of those collectors. Surviving wave after wave, upgrading your fireball until it’s packing like 20 HP—the game gets truly insane. Like, how many is 10 million enemies, really?
In the end, Fireball 2 is one wild ride. It’s for the PlayStation 5 for just seven bucks. Sometimes, thrifty finds turn out to be the most exhilarating. There you go, an explosive experience—literal and metaphorical—for less than the price of lunch. Now that’s what I call a neon-charged bang for your buck.
