BroodStar

Simple yet addictive. Has that “one more run” kind of feeling. Very fun

If you enjoy games like Tyrian 2000 or The Guardian Legend (TGL mode) then definitely give this game a chance. It is a very well done vertical shooter.

Reminds me of Lifeforce for the NES. There's 280 or so different option for your ship per run so you'll see a lot of different configurations as you play through. There's a permanent upgrade grid you earn points on for each run. I've really been enjoying it.

Fun rogue-like top-down shooter. If you like shmups and rogue-likes, you'll love this! Dev was super nice and quick to address an issue that prevented the game from starting on M1 Macs after an update. Support devs like this!

Пожалуй лучший гибрид рогалика и шмапа. Самое оно, чтобы играть в перерывах между попытками одолеть очередной монструзный bullet hell от CAVE

Really damn fun SHMUP. Thanks to the roguelike elements your shot types can widely vary from run to run to the point of hilarity. You can go from one run looking like a pretty normal SHMUP to another completely filling the screen with absolute nonsense, its great. My only real problem is you can get unlucky and go several runs without finding any upgrades for your main shot. Also the music is great.

Content is a bit short and the game isn't too challenging but it is fun! Solid for bite sized gaming sessions.

A good fun roguelike shmup. Upgrade tree in terms of meta-progression feels short. Game length seems pretty reasonable, I didn't get that deep into it in my runs as the game is fairly difficult. Would wait for a sale though, for what it is the asking price is pretty steep in a world where you are seeing these sort of games with ample content for £2-3.

Hits the nostalgia bone just right, while still having the responsiveness and mechanics that sate the needs of a modern gamer. Also has an absolute banger of a soundtrack! If I had to point out one con(?), the difficulty spikes quite a bit at one point where the enemies get way more aggressive about just ramming into you... You get used to it pretty quickly though :P

+Some player choices... -No real progressive feeling during a run -> not enough player choices to be made -Music = Disappointment. I could not find the fun. ............................................________........................ ....................................,.-‘”...................``~.,.................. .............................,.-”...................................“-.,............ .........................,/...............................................”:,........ .....................,?......................................................\,..... .................../...........................................................,}.... ................./......................................................,:`^`..}.... .............../...................................................,:”........./..... ..............?.....__.........................................:`.........../..... ............./__.(.....“~-,_..............................,:`........../........ .........../(_....”~,_........“~,_....................,:`........_/........... ..........{.._$;_......”=,_.......“-,_.......,.-~-,},.~”;/....}........... ...........((.....*~_.......”=-._......“;,,./`..../”............../............ ...,,,___.\`~,......“~.,....................`.....}............../............. ............(....`=-,,.......`........................(......;_,,-”............... ............/.`~,......`-...............................\....../\................... .............\`~.*-,.....................................|,./.....\,__........... ,,_..........}.>-._\...................................|..............`=~-,.... .....`=~-,_\_......`\,.................................\........................ ...................`=~-,,.\,...............................\....................... ................................`:,,...........................`\..............__.. .....................................`=-,...................,%`>--==``....... ........................................_\..........._,-%.......`\............... ...................................,<`.._|_,-&``................`\..............
