Before I start, let me just say that this is not going to be a full review. Aegis of Earth: Protonovus Assault is mostly the same on PS4 as it is on PS Vita, so do check out our review of the Vita version here. Instead I will discuss how the PS4 version functions.
Let me just say that the game is beautiful first and foremost. The game has a smooth framerate without any drops or screen tearing and the visuals look great because of it. The game is vibrant and stunning and visually is impressive, especially when compared to the PS Vita version. In fact, take the look of the Vita version and then the PS4 version and you will be amazed, its just that awesome. There are no blocky textures and everything is smooth and refined.
In terms of audio, the game is amazing and the soundtrack really gets me into the gaming spirit. The PS4 audio output really helps and the music sounds far better than on the Vita version. That could just be my TV’s audio, but it really sounds so much better.
And now we come to controls. I’ve seen videos of the game being played on the Vita, but this is far more easy to use than what I’ve seen. The controller functions great and handles well and never hurt my hands when trying to do something. Sometimes when playing tower defense games on a console, I will find myself being frustrated with the control scheme. However, this game has none of those problems and in fact was the easiest to play (in terms of controls, not difficulty) and I had a good time with that.
In general, I had fun with the game and the high points and low points mentioned in the Vita version are the same here except for the few differences that I mentioned above.
Final Thoughts
I have to recommend this game.
