An insanely fun rhythm-shooter with good visuals and a great electronic soundtrack that really pulls you in. Flying through neon worlds while following the beat feels amazing, and taking down enemies in sync with the music never gets old. The controls are smooth (controller recommended), and the whole experience has a really cool vibe. Perfect if you’re into music-driven games.

Every stage in Aaero is broken into two segments. One of these segments takes some clear inspiration from music shooter Rez. In it you'll be flying around in your spaceship, using an on-screen cursor to lock onto and shoot lasers at enemies. Once you've locked onto what you want, or if you've hit the max of eight targets, you can press a button and fire a laser. Of course, it does get a little deeper than that with a twist of its own. In Aaero, how fast your laser fires is dependent on how close to the beat you fire it, as does the number of points you'll get for the kill. Miss the beat and your laser will take a while to reach its target (leaving you open to attacks) and minimize the points you're getting. It's an interesting new idea but not one that really matters unless you're going for that high score. It's also one not advertised very well: I honestly didn't even know of its existence until I was half way through the game and it came up as a loading screen tip.

thanks to FANATICAL i got this for free, and i am ashamed i had no idea this game even existed, i love rhythm games so much and this goes with the best of them, considering this is bound by a controller and not VR or Motion controll.
Anw, one thing needs to be said, most rhythm games, u need to choose a couple of bangers , this one has almost all bangers , but of course, the fanboy in me saw that KATY B. has a song, so i went nuts, also ''I CAN'T STOP'' ranks highly, but around 90% of the soundtrack is pure eargasm as long as you love bass drop and let us be real, who doesn't ?
gonna but the sequel, the least i can do.

This is hands down the best rythm game I've played (only because I can't play Beat Saber). It's unique, very well designed for controllers, has amazing music and somehow made it all look epic in the way. The game even features boss battles...it's a damn rythm game that has you figting with giant creatures, how cool is that?! But yeah I would recommend it to anyone with a controller, not just for rythm game lovers. (Warning, game is pretty hard and levels are locked by stars, which you earn based on how you perform on previous levels so git gud)

Aaero feels like someone fused a rhythm game with a rail shooter and somehow made it work way better than expected. Chasing light trails while blasting enemies to a killer EDM soundtrack is insanely satisfying once you get into the flow. It’s short, but every stage feels stylish and well-crafted. Definitely one of those “headphones on, brain off” games that deserves more attention.

It's common for games to take inspiration from others that make it great in the genre. At some point, I believe Rez and Gitaroo Man got together to have a wedding, even though I wasn't actually there to see it. Now we have Aaero, the child of the two. It borrows shooting elements from Rez while tying it together with the need to stick to a rhythm line as close as possible, similar to Gitaroo Man. All this while trying to make an identity of its own with a low-poly aesthetic.
