Customers are saying

Customers love the addictive gameplay loop and great music in Tempest 4000™. Many also appreciate the game's price and well-designed levels. However, some players found the controls challenging, particularly when using a standard controller. The game's positive aspects outweigh this control issue for most players.

    Visually this game is almost as great as the last Tetris game released. Awesome soundtrack, learning curve isnt too bad.

    I never played the original Tempest, but this game is so much fun. I love the graphics, and the gameplay loop is very addictive. I bought this on Xbox One and loved it so much I had to get the PS4 version since it was on sale. I would recommend it, especially now since it's on sale.

    A Fun Trippy Update

    Basically it is Tempest + Txk. My only complaint is that at times it can be a bit too flashy with the visuals, and that there is --so far-- no VR support. Back in July 2018 Jeff Minter wanted to keep it in, but it would have added a lot of development time. Also it is up to Atari, so who knows.

    Bought this game for nostalgic reasons, its one I would play on the Atari jaguar. It obviously looks better than the Atari version but it is a unique game and not for everyone. The price was great and got at a significant discount so it was worth the purchase.

    This is a great update to tempest. It plays well, is fun, and has all you would need out of a tempest update. Don't expect hardcore modern updates, this is tempest, pure and simple. More particle effects and cleaner graphics. I got it super cheap and would have paid more. It's a very fun game.

    Absolutely love this game! Its old school tempest with a new school paint job. Reminds me a lot of Tempest 2000 for the atarti jaguar in HD. If you've played the original or any of the other Tempest games you will be right at home here. Just blast everything that moves and try not to die. Easy to pick up and play but hard to master.

    Fun game and cool visuals if you like Tempest. Get it when it’s on sale if you can. Maybe not quite worth the full asking price tho, tbh.

    Fun throwback game. Introduced this game to a couple of 10 year olds, my niece and nephew, who loved it! It’s a great throwback game and we were able to play it together! Finally, something an adult can play and beat the kids!

    Nice update to a childhood classic on a modern console. From the Atari to the PS4. Graphics and controls make this worth it

    This game is a very good representation of the arcade version. It's a bit harder to control with PS4 DS controller. I wish they make a rotary controller for this game. That would make it great!

    While the arcade original with it's trackball was the best version of this game, Tempest 4000 is still a blast to play on the PS4. The enhanced graphics make it interesting to watch and play.
