Chaser

Chaser is the sort of game that reads like a plain action title and usually lives or dies by movement, shooting, and keeping up with the pace. By our assessment, that makes it easy to understand and easy to place, which is a strength in itself when you want something straightforward. The trade-off is the usual one for this kind of shooter: once the moment-to-moment rhythm stops being fresh, the rest has to carry the weight, and that is hard. In play, you expect constant forward motion, a focus on targets, and not much patience for slow planning. Chaser sits closer to older-fashioned action than to modern systems-heavy design, so it is more about immediate feel than long-term depth. It is the kind of game people reach for when they want to shoot and move, not when they want layers of mechanics.
