    Although this arena shooter bears similarities to every other game in the genre, to me it seems most surprisingly like Debrysis, albeit not as fast paced or action packed.

    The goal in Artificial Nature is not to blow apart as many things as possible for as long as possible, but to blow apart third-generation insects, collect the stars they drop and deposit them in the center of the field. The purpose of this is not explained by the game, it merely must be done.

    You must collect (and deposit) 100 stars in total. How many you have collected is indicated in the bottom right of screen and at the center of the center orb, where you drop the stars. To collect said star, find an enemy and destroy it. It will split into three other, faster insects and once destroyed will drop a star. Touch to collect and right-click near the center orb to deposit.

    It's a unique game, I'll give it that much credit. To say its as fun as other arena shooters (NaaC, Debrysis, etc.) is a stretch, but only because its so different. This is not a game where you plow through to survive, but where you hang back, play it cautious and get then the reward. It's a different take on the genre and in this reviewers opinion, its a much welcome take. Recommended.
