POCG VERDICT
The B-movie of cover shooters: a great gimmick, badly wasted.
A generic cover shooter whose gravity-bending gimmick is barely used. Repetitive, cliched and forgettable, the B-movie of the genre.
About This Game

Inversion is a 2012 third-person cover shooter developed by Saber Interactive and published by Namco Bandai for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Its gimmick is gravity manipulation, low- and zero-gravity combat and a 'gravlink' that hurls objects, wrapped around a generic alien-invasion story.
