Armed with a magical boomerang, slice, fly, and dive through flocks of evil creatures in this acrobatic arena shooter. Obliterate wave after wave and journey ever downwards into the shadows.

Runs well on modern hardware.

Can a shooter without guns be one of the best shooters ever? Apparently so! Boomerang X has a feel of its own, unique to it, the movement and the gameplay are quite unique. Unique is also the gimmicky (but well thought out) gadget that was released with it, but mostly lost to time at the time of writing. The visuals are gorgeous, and are very conducive to the fast-paced gameplay. The mechanics are quite good, and added at a very resonable pace. This has become one of my all time favorites.
Super fun game thats certainly worth the money the story isnt all that long and i found it to be perfect.
Highly recommend! This game is soo simple, yet soo intense and fun! I absolutely love how progressively difficult the game gets as well while you the main character also progressively gets stronger, so never in the game do you feel either over or under powered; incredibly balanced. Also, besides the gameplay, environments and enemy variety are vast and diverse (trust me some of these enemy types will catch you off guard. The music btw is phenomenal! Like I love how the games music will match the intensity of the gameplay especially when you're in a tight spot. Honestly, 10/10 experience with the game.
