One of the most underrated SHMUPS I've ever played. Highly refined, has co-op, a workshop, cross-platform, tons of levels, weapons, and ships this really this has it all. Totally down for a sequel.

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.

This is a shooter in the oldschool arcade vein, most similar to the Gradius/Darius types wherein you gain power ups and bank them till you get to the upgrade you want then spend them, but they also throw in a HUGE metagame with attachements. You can unlock new weapons and gear through various means, and drastically change your gameplay. In one configuration, I'm a carrier - big, slow, I dont have guns but I have turrets and a large number of very strong drones that fight for me. In another configuration I slapped on all sorts of beam boosters so I went from a standard forward laser beam to a 5 pronged laser array that also has a slow and DoT effect. There are plenty of maps/missions, some arcade options for endless mode, and they did release a content patch just a little while ago, so its still being worked on and tweaked. There are also some bonus and hidden levels where they change things up, a few are vertical scrolling, a few are starfox 3D styles, and before I forget, they even have capital ships that you can pilot with your smaller ship inside. ALSO also, it has co-op multiplayer. I haven't tried it myself, but you can play with many other people if you wanted. If you like side scroll arcade shooter types, your Gradius's, your R-types, your various EDM fueled bullet hells, you will definitely enjoy this game.

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.
