The Pixel Review writes: When writing a review of a game you never want to pigeon hole it by slapping a couple of genre labels on the title and calling it a day. One reason against this practice is that it is an insulting thing to do to the development team who sunk hundreds of hours, probably months of their lives, into making the product to just look at reviews from the press that say “farm sim”. Another good reason not to do so is that it does not make for a riveting review that really makes you, dear reader, want to come back to this website again and again. That being said, Fusion: Genesis is a twin stick shooter.

Craig whips the troops into shape with the Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor demo, Jeremy gets sidetracked from Game of Thrones, Sean and Jeremy get sucked into the world of Dragon’s Dogma, and Craig and Jeremy shoot a lot of folks in Max Payne 3.

Part dual-joystick shooter, part Elite, part RPG, Fusion Genesis immediately struck me as being fantastically ambitious, but yet with a mostly simple core gameplay mechanic. Do all these elements stack up?"
