Crisis Wing

OVERVIEW: When I first saw this game by Pieslice Productions it reminded me of the time spent on the Arcades with Truxton and its few peers at the time. I must add that the boss mechanics seemed pretty cool too so I found the price asked really humble and didn't hesitate to purchase. Pros - Gameplay: Spaceship is wonderful to fly. You get 3 shot types, with the game manual clarifying each weapon power spikes during upgrades - Soundtrack: In this game each boss has special sound effects for different shots, so I tend to solely focus on them mostly - Graphics: 90's Arcade style. Simple but appealing - Bosses: Hard but fair if you put the effort. You have Boss rush mode to juggle with, but actually in a harder style than the standard campaign. - Replayability: Going for a 1cc is a good challenge - Difficulty: You travel from old shmup school to bullet hell University and it is a joy - Co-op: A strong reason to buy the game - Bullet style: very polished - Level select: available on practice mode Cons - You can't really complain in good faith when you know few people assembled such a wonderful title SUMMARY: It is worth the price usually asked by far...and on sale it is a TOTAL STEAL! 8/10 gaming scale Disclosure: After clearing the main campaign and, as I comeback for new sessions or new updates arise by developers, I intend to keep revising this review

This is what I get for trying these new indie games. The hitbox and collision for the bullets is so awful, the pulsing effects just ruin any definition of gaps to travel through. The game is devoid of any point blanking but the mini bosses hog the screen and point blank you with undefinable bullet gaps. For a re-imagining of classic style it misses the mark as goes for your typical indie retro throwback. Probably the worst thing is the devs purposely made your firerate slow to add to the damage sponging bosses which again have no risk reward because the game is devoid of point blanking. Blue weapon has nice damage but doesn't offer enough screen coverage and would be a good point blank option but again that forced slow firerate ruins the fundamentals. Stick with the classics from toaplan or the raiden series they get it right because they are the origins. Seems like another indie-let down that is more worried about presentation than gameplay. On a side note the game runs great, amazing sound track, beautiful art style and awesome options for learning the game but this game is a failure and lacks proper fundamentals of the classics because it is lacks depth.

A well made oldschool shmup, heavily inspired by the Truxton / Tatsujin games. Definitely deserves a look. (8/10)

A fun arcade like shooter where pattern memorization is a plus. It's challenging as there's no breaks between levels. It's like Truxton an old but great obscure arcade game from the past. I snagged it for a half off sale and have no regrets other than at my advanced age not having the skills I used to in playing such games, but it's still fun.

Great game! Very fun to play!

A ideia é simples. Se gosta de Truxton do Mega Drive pode considerar a compra do jogo. O jogo basicamente faz uma enorme inspiração e homenagem ao clássico da Toaplan. Porém... Ironicamente o jogo tem tudo de bom do clássico 1988: os gráficos belos na mesma pegada, temática espacial, as músicas exatamente no mesmo estilo, gameplay fluida, as mesmas cores e funções dos poderes (vermelho, azul e verde), até a bomba em formato de caveira usaram. E isso é muito massa. Só que mais irônico ainda é o fato de ter os MESMOS defeitos: o jogo não tem muitas fases mas logo após a terceira elas se tornam desnecessariamente longas, a dificuldade da saltos bizarros, a batalha final sem algo especifico nao tem sequer como ser vencida, checkpoints que não impedem o jogo de ser frustrante... O que o diferencia é o fato de ter modos de jogos atuais como boss rush, time attack e etc. Diria que é um bom jogo. Porém absurdo de injusto a ponto que vale mais jogar os outros modos que a campanha em si. Que nem dificuldade tem para ser escolhida. Alguns ajustes fariam da experiência de jogar Crisis Wing muito mais agradável. Porém eles optaram por basicamente criar um "Truxton moderno" sem corrigir suas falhas de um jogo de 30 anos atrás. A oportunidade perdida não altera o fato do jogo ser bom. Mas que poderia ser muito melhor, ah isso poderia. Felizmente é um jogo que esta sempre barato. Na casa dos 10 a 15 reais. Nota 7/10.

Good solid retro shooter with jets :)

Simply fantastic!

good shmup honestly not too difficult, takes after the classic toaplan titles, like truxton and such, moderately more bullet-heavy but definitely not a bullet hell worth the price

Lo compré por curiosidad y la verdad es que está excelente. Soy malísimo en éste tipo de juegos pero tiene varios modos para poder practicar mejorar. Buena variedad de boses y enemigos. Muy buena bso, fácil de jugar y entender. Por momentos te Volves loco con la lluvia de balas de los jefes pero te engancha mal y querés mejorar. Es muy rejugable, con una muy buena duración. Nunca cansa... Aún no llego a matar al jefe final... Muy recomendable 👌
