About
After many long years, Scott Host, the creator of Galactix and Raptor Call of the Shadows, has remastered his shareware legend DemonStar - and now it comes soaring back with new game modes and revised gameplay. Originally published in 1997 and later earning the COMPUTER GAMING WORLD's "Shareware Game of the Year 1999" award, DemonStar was and still is considered by fans as one of the best 2D space shooters on PC.
- New game modes include Legacy Mode and Enhanced Mode
- 60 or 120fps
- Original Soundtrack by Bobby Prince

DemonStar is the most thrilling vertical scrolling shooter on the market! DemonStar takes shooters to the extreme with controller support, 3D rendered graphics, explosive sound effects and a brilliant soundtrack. To destroy each boss, you will have to search for many weapons such as lasers, homing missiles and many more. As you pilot your spaceship through each of the 18 progressive levels, you can build up an arsenal worthy of a match against the XIDUS empire.

爷青回,就是感觉创新不太够,重制了个寂寞
Used to play this as a kid but never had the full game. Its also a bit more challenging even on easy than the original.
为童年补票,感谢Scott Host的创作。 重制版很多地方和我之前玩的3.01版本不一样,键位这些都设置不了,联机模式、地图编辑器也删掉了(3.01版本用一个额外的参数启动set MAPMODE=TRUE),也不能加载额外的GLB自定义模组文件。 Legacy模式找回了一些感觉,但音乐不是最早的MIDI版本有点遗憾。 Enhanced模式有点不太习惯,弹药威力衰减更严重导致这个模式的打法比较反直觉,不能在板底慢慢扭,黄色弹药也砍了不少威力。
非常经典的作品,算是给童年补票了,开始玩的时候听到那个bgm眼泪都下来了,谁能想到小时候打了很长很长时间都没通关过的游戏,再玩只用2个小时就通关了。小时候哪懂什么观察boss出招规律,分析伤害类型,躲激光,攒分数加命等等的,只知道上去硬莽。 而且小时候看不懂英文,对每关boss登场那个let‘s take this big bay down的空耳印象深刻,以为是什么大boss登场了!的提示,后来才知道这是飞行员自己说的,让我们把这个大家伙打下来!对吃到S之后,两位飞行员的oh yeah! 和 yeah !yeah !也印象深刻。 刚下载的初始版本可能和小时候玩的版本存在一定差异,这时按esc 选options(选项),下拉菜单中选择Game mode(游戏模式),然后选择legacy(停产版本),能够找到最经典的那个版本。
25年8月找到了这款小学微机课上和同桌一起耍的游戏 玩的很开心 25年冬促成功背刺 哈哈...hhh
有人知道怎么改键盘键位吗?
原价买都很值,史低 3 CNY。 有原版和加强版,而且赠送音乐。 关卡有挑战性。
The bosses are always the same thing in a different package and the stages are not very challenging or interesting with things just hastily scattered coming toward you. The music and the graphics are gorgeous, but too bad for the gameplay. Recommended if you're nostalgic for this, but otherwise just play Tyrian or Raptor.
童年回忆
One of my favorite childhood game. Runs smooth and the normal difficulty got a bit harder than i remember (or im just old).
