GamesWeasel: Spectrobes: Beyond the Portals Review

GamesWeasel writes: "Unfortunately, combat's not great. Fighting as Rallen you can use melee attacks or your gun, but locking onto enemies is tricky when the camera's not centred on them. Fighting with your Spectrobes is really boring. By walking into a Vortex, you set your tag team into motion, but combat is no more than walking up to an enemy and pressing A, then pressing B or Y when you're charged up a super move. It's clunky, unresponsive and dull.

Exploration isn't great either. Although they've improved the camera angle to make it less claustrophobic, there's still a lot of back-tracking to do, and if you die, you start back at your ship and have to wander through the barren lands once again".
