What an AMAZING game i love the start up screen and it play's really well in game. It get's very addictive trying to beat your score hats off to the developer for all the time and effort that has gone into this game. You can really tell it's a quality game from start to finish you will not be putting this game down once you start playing it. Looking forward to what comes next with this developer i can only describe it with one word that is AMAZING.
Amazing shoot em up with brilliant 3D graphics. Bullets stand out really well against the muted back grounds and this game does not mess around difficulty wise. The challenge ramps up quickly and you will need to manage the graze bar wisely to decide if you want to risk levelling up or keeping the bar for spread and smart bombs. Enemy difficulty increases as you level up giving strategic opportunity to stay moderately levelled and leverage the spread shot against the impressive mid and end level bosses. Hidden gem on Steam for sure!
This shmup is so much fun. Great graphics, animation is silky smooth and the gameplay is just non-stop action. Very highly recommended for shmup fans!
This shmup would be solid enough with out the special weapons but with them this game is on another level. Special items are game changers and deciding when to deploy them adds a layer of strategy to the moment to moment dancing around enemy fire. Love this game!
Absolutely love this arcade style shmup and the procedural gauntlet mode is great once you unlock it. Class game!
Played the demo and absolutely loved it! Just completed the game on Normal difficulty mode and immediately the Hard mode presents itself... OMG So much depth and replay value in this game it's unheard of for the price asked. Hats off to the solo dev that made this game, it really is a brilliant shmup worthy of any shooter fans time. Once you hit the flow state this gem really shines.
Awesome fast paced arcade action. Definitely a hidden gem on steam.
Even though this is usually not my genre, I found myself really getting into this game in the short time I spent with it. Keep up the good work! [b]FULL VIDEO - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiaNxPimuN8[/b]
I have been playing this game solid for the last few days since purchase and it is definitely worth the hype. Enemy designs are brilliant and the pace of the action fits perfectly in a wide screen ratio and this is very rare for the genre! Could not put this game down once I got into it and unlocking achievements / game modes feels satisfying. Highly recommend this game if you are into shmups with interesting mechanics, special items and score boards. Quality game!
Having a lot of fun with this! Great shooter. Challenging as hell though! Love the system where you have to choose between levelling up, using bombs or spread. Keeps you on your toes. Highly Recommend!
