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.

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.

希望能加入原版DLC的关卡,没想到能在steam上玩到这款游戏,原版真算是我的电子游戏启蒙了。
old school fun, and price is Right
3块钱,一瓶饮料的价格找回童年,太值了,同时满足回忆和收集癖 没有中文,但菜单简单易懂没啥难度,建议在菜单里开启legacy模式也就是经典模式,瞬间回到十几年前的某个下午,打开电脑看着花花绿绿的屏幕不知所措,最后在开始菜单里找到这个飞机打怪的游戏爽玩 还挺有难度……刚打完风神录玩这个一点都不觉得轻松……
certified hood classic
童年回忆了 我更喜欢经典版,因为经典版的爆炸音效让人印象深刻,重制版的音效缺乏了重量感
Played the freeware version as a kid in the early 2000s on my dad's PC. The moment I discovered it on steam I bought it. Playing the extra levels was a blast!

My favourite entry in Touhou series for sure
Just wanted to say great job on this port and this game. As a kid I used to play this as well as Raptor: Call of the Shadows on a shareware CD ROM, eGames Collector's Edition 251. The port of this game is fantastic. The new soundtrack by Pfeffermouse is a banger, and I was delighted to see that you can enjoy both legacy and enhanced modes. Man, the sound effects in legacy are [i]so[/i] good. Especially the bosses and their projectiles. So thank you Scott! You are awesome.
