Bright Memory: Infinite, the high-octane action shooter sequel to Bright Memory, is blasting its way onto iOS and Android devices on January 17th for the surprisingly affordable price of $4.99.
This mobile port boasts impressive graphics for a smartphone title, delivering fast-paced shooter action that has garnered mixed, yet generally positive, reviews on other platforms. While not a graphical powerhouse in the same vein as AAA console titles, its visuals are nonetheless competently rendered.
The $4.99 price point is a significant draw, especially considering the generally positive reception of its gameplay mechanics. While not a revolutionary title in terms of narrative or genre-bending, it offers a solid, enjoyable shooting experience.
A Balanced Offering
Bright Memory: Infinite doesn't redefine graphical fidelity (some have jokingly compared it to particle effects taking center stage) or narrative innovation within the shooter genre, but it's undeniably well-executed. Its Steam reception, primarily focused on price concerns, makes the mobile price point seem exceptionally reasonable.
Developer FQYD-Studio's title isn't currently topping any "must-play" lists, but its accessible price and competent execution make it a worthy contender. While graphical prowess was anticipated based on previous comments, the true measure of its success lies in other aspects of the game.
