Dec. 2024

This is my definitive, go-to shmup on Steam. I enjoy doing solo runs as well as dropping into some coop sessions with friends for a good time all around. The campaign has branching paths to various difficulty tiers with welcomed gameplay variation peppered in, and some hype music. Huge variation of modules let you specialize loadout to maximize or balance a ship's performance. The single most enjoyable aspect of the game is using the green power-ups to enhance weapon systems during your run. Love the risk/reward of banking these to power up stronger systems. AND the game is still being actively updated/patched after so many years. Good on the devs, thank you for this gem. In conclusion, I hate minefield.

Dec. 2024

This is really really good game. I'm not exactly a fan of the genre, but the very challenging gameplay combined with the nearly 700 attachments sucked me in. There are SO many builds you can do, and each ends up having its own distinct playstyle. It's a lot of fun figuring out how to try and combine/earn attachments. Also its a great feeling when something that was really hard before becomes easy because of a build you came up with. I think this game would actually be very popular if it was in a viral video or something, just needs exposure.(Dev, if u do this, don't forget about me ;) ) Playing with friends online or in person is easy, smooth and a lot of fun. If you think you might like it, you will. If you like a challenge, you will. If you like tinkering, you will.

I was a big fan of Gradius on the NES, and this game is an excellent evolution of that style. You can certainly sit down and run through some sessions out of the box. As you continue, you'll notice the depth of game play available as you start to unlock some of the hundreds of attachments you can use to equip your ship with different weapons and powers. You can really tailor the game to suit your taste of play style and difficulty. I like the fact I can do a few runs at the end of my day, unlock a couple attachments and not be in bed at 3 AM like I would if I got sucked into Skyrim. Finally, the game was released over 5 years ago and they are still coming out with meaningful updates.

May 2024

So, they released this game in 2019. I bought this in 2016. This dev team has been working on it all these years and STILL IS! And I mean that with the greatest respect. These guys deserve your purchase. Just look at the hours I put into this game. It's fun, it's challenging, you can get multiple hundreds upon hundreds of upgrades to select from after unlocking them from various means. Be it defeating bosses, combining weaponry (kinda like aging wine you may get something more powerful when using two specific components that may turn into something...greater), or just slaying foes and meeting such and such demands. They even have a workshop if you want to try and create your own personal levels to keep for yourself or share with the world. They have different ships to play and use, each with their own special weapon effect or special ability. And a cool story as well. It kinda reminds me of Starfox 64 honestly, except you are playing in a side scrolling shoot em up. You'll know what I mean by this when you beat the campaign... I implore you to try this game, spread the word, it won't hurt your wallet. And just be amazed at the creativity of it all. If you love flying bullet mayham oooooooooo boy, this will be a big treat for you! Want to nullify em? No problem, there's special weaponry that can do that more or less =). Hopefully you will be amazed as I have been at how dedicated they are and how much love they really did bring to this game. Thank you.

Usually I rate games after I finish them completely. Because I got this for local multiplayer coop, I will say that with the discount it was great fun blasting through the first few maps of this game. I would consider the difficulty level to be quite high, especially on Arcade mode where you have to restart the whole game if you lose your limited lives. But getting boosted by upgrades let you go further and further with each restart. It was a laugh. I'm definitely curious how far things go, since we only managed to get through the first few maps. It worked via USB with 2 of my X Box control pads and a third party pad, so that was cool. Was worth the money already.
