May 2025
So much fun. Extremely precise controls, great upgrade system, lots of ship customization and build variety. Music is quite entertaining as well and all sounds are snappy and satisfying. It's fantastic to mow down hordes upon hordes of ant robot things very quickly. Enemies move in interesting paths sometimes making little whirlwinds or snakey conga-lines of bots. It ends up becoming extremely addictive, with both its campaign and survival modes, with unique maps and some neat gimmicks and bosses that make them all special. Food survival is particularly engaging. Due to all of that I can definitely excuse the super goofy character art and lack of warnings on certain things such as enemies coming from offscreen on either top, bottom or left. Nowhere is sacred, nowhere is safe.

This is the best SHMUP of all time. We don't need any more SHMUPS that you can finish in 1 hour with zero customization, we need ones like THIS where you can let your imagination run wild trying out various mod combos. Beyond that killer feature, it essentially does everything else right too.

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.
