This is a side-scrolling shooting game in which you take control of the "Drainus", the Kharlal Empire's most cutting-edge fighter with the ability to absorb energy bullets, and take down the enemy ships zipping through space.
Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.29/day in the week to Sep 9 → 0.43/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

it's good. it's not very hard, the upgrades are absolutely busted and it's like two ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hours long but it's still fun. you can save mid-run thankfully. just warning you that at normal difficulty you will be 1CC'ing this thing your first try [url=https://steamcommunity.com/app/1975360/discussions/0/5596333034298873380/]unless your name is MarquisDeSang[/url]. outstanding artwork, the cardboard-cutout 3D in the intro genuinely blew my mind. the soundtrack is good, but weird. i could see why a lot of players hate the soundtrack but i think it fits perfectly. it kind of reminds me of Pink and Julius's earlier work (infact I am pretty sure the level 3 theme samples High Anxiety from racing league). so good stuff all around, just maybe not the kind of game I would play over and over, which is the whole point of a shmup I think.
Very epic. If you happen to be the perfect audience like I am: - Plays shmups for chilling and entertainment rather than high score or 1-cc - Appreciates gorgeous pixel art-powered visual spectacles - Willing to engage with interesting mechanics - Not fretted by hardcore perfection in balancing and design You are in for a treat.

终于有一个我能通关的飞机游戏了
某有名シューティングゲームのパロディっぽい名前に騙されるな。 これが新たなる伝説のシューティングゲームだっ!
Overall, quite fun. I tend to prefer vertical STG to horizontal ones, but this one is a good time. The graphics are fantastic, it's got a pretty fun story, and it's very, very accessible -- easily cleared it on my first run through. I think that it suffers a bit by the sheer variety of powerups, but it's also clearly not going for an arcade experience (can save between levels, etc). Not one I'm driven to replay much, but overall worth your time honestly even if you're not a big STG enthusiast, since the difficulty is very welcoming and the graphics are gorgeous.
fun but short. It is a good feeling wanting more. Not as hard as others in the space shooter world But I really did enjoy it. I bought it on sale and do not think it was a waste of money. FYI there are only like 6 levels so its a 3 ish hour game for a one time play. Ill play it more than once tho. just cuz I enjoy it
Jogo muito bonito, divertido e com mecânicas bem legais! É um jogo curto, dá pra fechar num fim de semana. Não espere um baita enredo, o foco é explodir tudo que puder kkkkk Conseguiu matar minha vontade de jogar um "jogo de navinha" das antigas. Recomendo!
Man for a game that's a shoot em up, its got a surprisingly good story. The controls are tight, and I enjoyed going through the levels. It honestly felt more visually enjoyable that some other darius games. Its a top 10 side shoot em up for me and I loved seeing bits of the story events in between levels via the collectables. Honestly, if you are looking for a classic side view shoot em up, then go for this pick!
A luxurious dessert of a game. Fun, short, gorgeous.
Если бы у меня спросили в какой шмап стоит сыграть, то я бы непременно предложил DRAINUS. Механика, на сколько я знаю, не нова, но здоровская: красные снаряды - уворачиваемся обязательно, иные - есть возможность поглощать некоторое время с последующим выплеском в обратку. Играется бодро, выглядит отлично, звучит интересно, даже сюжетец присутствует. Любителям рекомендую.
