Terror Squid has all the pros of a classic arcade game. Mechanically simple but surprisingly difficult gameplay, with a beautiful pick-up-and-play methodology baked in. Unfortunately however, it is a shallow experience if you are not interested in chasing high scores.

Terror Squid may not have much content, but what is there still manages to impress and terrify. The unique, personality-filled take on shmup gameplay truly can't be found anywhere else, despite the minimal variety. Players who enjoy chasing high scores through quick, replayable experiences will find a lot of value in the title. However, those looking for more to do should swim on to less dangerous waters.

Terror Squid is an addictive and fun take on the shooter genre, in which you create your own bullet hell by shooting bullets at yourself. The longevity is the only issue; a few more modes wouldn’t go astray.

TERROR SQUID is a fun and challenging take on the bullet hell genre, and a great fit for the Switch's mobility or to kill a few minutes on Steam. It's easy to get hooked into trying to hit that minute mark, and then see how high up the leaderboards you can climb. It's single mode and difficulty probably won't make it as long-lasting as score-attack classics like Super Hexagon or other bullet hell games, but TERROR SQUID is still totally functional as a cheap arcade time-waster.
