Release Date: August 14, 2015
An arcade production developed by XMPT Games. Players take part in disc duels which require not only working out a proper tactic, but also skills and quick reactions. The backbone of DiscStorm is the multiplayer mode, in which players battle each other in special arenas – the key to success lies in hitting your opponents without being being hit yourself. Once you run out of lives, you drop out of the tournament.
Developed by XMPT Games, DiscStorm for PC and PSV is a multiplayer arcade production. The player assumes the role of a fighter armed with special discs. The action is dynamic, so mastery of skills and swift fingers are essential for success.
Even though this is primarily a multiplayer production, there is a single player campaign. The story is not very deep – your goal is to become the Disc Master who is basically a warrior who attained mastery of using this bizarre weapon. The single player mode serves as a kind of training before the real deal – battles with other players.
Battles take place in the special arenas. Most of them are rectangular and feature additional elements like portals or concrete poles. Each player tries to hit an opponent with a disc and, at the same time, avoid getting shot. Every player has a defined number of lives (one or a few, depending on the game mode) and once he loses them, he drops out from the tournament.
Apart from the game mode concerned with killing the other competitors, DiscStorm also features a co-op in which you and other players fend off hordes of opponents controlled by AI. Most of them can be killed with a single shot, but you may come across more powerful enemies that need to be hit more than once.
This is a 2D title with a top-down fixed view which enables players to see the whole battle ground. This production published on PC and PSV utilises simple, pixelled visuals that become gradually diversified by special effects, such as blazing fires and falling rocks.

COGconnected: 50 / 100 by Lucas Raycevick
Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if this game appears on browsers in the next year, and this same team will take off the training wheels and fully express their creative freedom in a truly definitive future product.
Softpedia: 7 / 10 by Andrei Dumitrescu
DiscStorm has a core that's well designed and engaging, especially when the player faces enemies who are able to throw their own discs and move around well.

…if you can't beat it like Michael Jackson, you'll be falling into its big open booby trap: repetitiveness
