Dimension Drive Collector's Edition

Two battlefields, one screen, zero room for hesitation. The Dimension Drive Collector's Edition on PlayStation 4 takes the space shoot 'em up formula and splits it wide open with a mechanic that sounds simple and plays like controlled chaos. You fight across two parallel battlefields on a single split screen, instantly teleporting between them to dodge bullets, access secret areas, and ambush enemies who never saw it coming.

Built by two former space engineers (yes, actual space engineers), Dimension Drive brings a legitimacy to its sci-fi setting that most shmups can only fake. Thirteen story campaign levels plus thirteen more in New Game+ Mirror Dimension mode, four difficulty settings from Normal to Insane, and online leaderboards for the competitive crowd. Advanced techniques like Drift and Reverse Drive reward mastery, while hidden data cubes unlock new weapons including the Flak Shotgun and Pulse Cannon.

Solo or local co-op, this game demands your full attention in the best possible way. The dual-battlefield mechanic isn't a gimmick. It's the entire identity of the game, and once it clicks, every other shmup feels like it's only using half the screen. This PS4 collector's edition preserves a genuinely innovative take on a well-worn genre. For shmup collectors who think they've seen everything the genre has to offer, Dimension Drive exists specifically to prove them wrong.
