HellStar Squadron

This is a decent enough cheap shoot 'em up. There are a few things that are a little rough around the edges. Avid bullet hell players and shmup players may find this a bit too easy. The gameplay is very simple and there is the constant reminder of controls on the side. There are three different ships to choose from giving a little bit of replay value. There are seven stages and some bonus stages. The game is controller supported. The soundtrack that is there is pretty awesome. There are a few issues with the game; but not anything that makes the game unplayable. There are a few things that fans of the genre can expect to see in games like this. The hit detection is a bit too large so strafing in between bullets is usually not your best bet for survival. At times because of the possible swarm of bullets that you have no choice but to try to squeeze in between, your death may result in another quick death due to limited invincibility frames. There is some dead time in the air which will easily break combo strings. The dialogue that is at the start and boss entry should be if possible switched to a skippable or instant text speed for replay purposes. The only other issue I had was the bomb didn't clear bullets on screen which was kind of strange to me. This isn't a major con though. [h1]Pros[/h1] +Fun gameplay +Nice amount of levels +Cheap +Great music +Multiple ship types for limited replayability [h1]Mix?[/h1] ~Bombs don't clear bullets ~Quick invincibility frames can sometimes result in second death [h1]Cons[/h1] -Hit box feels bigger than it should -Dialogue in cut scenes not skippable or able to speed up -Dead time results in combo loss All in all this is a decent shooter. It is a little rough around the edges, but for the asking price you are getting an acceptable amount of content. If you enjoy shoot em' ups; go ahead and pick it up.

Too easy, slow and boring. Lots of dead air and unskippable dialogue. You'll 1cc it in 40 minutes and you're done. No extra difficulties to unlock. Very basic scoring mechanic of chaining enemies, I have absolutely no urge to play this again. Hitbox on your ship is pretty huge, try to go around clumps of bullets rather than dodging between them. It looks nice and it's cheap but when you can buy something as good as eXceed 3rd for a fiver on steam, there's just no reason to get this.

[h1]Good game, would recommend![/h1] HellStar Squadron is a fun little bullet hell shooter. In terms of difficulty, it provides a good challenge without being overly unforgiving. The soundtrack and visuals are great! (Built-in CRT shaders are always a plus!) The game has a decent amount of content for the price. I'm currently up to stage six of eight with one of the three characters, after about two hours. Beyond this, each wave of enemies is somewhat randomised, keeping the game fresh with each playthrough (or retry in my case...). If I had to give any recommendations for the future, perhaps some mutator modes? Stuff like one life or limited bullets, just to add a bit more replayability. Overall, it's a good game!

[h1]ガワは80年代、中身は90/00年代[/h1] ＜昔買ってレビューを書いていなかった作品。通常のレビューより簡素＞ 見ての通りレトロ風の縦STGとなっていて当たり判定は見た目通りだが、コンボや低速移動など90年代後半以降の縦STGの要素が盛り込まれている。 道中はそれなりに丁寧だが、地味で退屈なのは否めない。 ボスは洋ゲーインディーSTGにありがちな何分戦わせるんだと突っ込みたくなる高耐久でこれまた退屈。 そこそこ真っ当な縦STGでは一方でゲームとしては退屈要素が多く、面白い代物ではないが、200円なら値段相応なので安価だがそれなりに遊べるレトロ風STGが遊びたいならおすすめできるかもしれない。 この飽食の時代にあえて本作をやる動機は自分にはないが。

This game has some issues with its controls. At first, the keyboard controls are only made for QWERTY-keyboards. Playing this on a QWERTZ-keyboard is nearly impossible. Secondly, you have to hold down the fire button all the time. Thirdly, you control the ship via the arrow keys. This feels very awkward, when 99% of the games you play use WASD (, which you control with your left hand). All of this wouldn't be that bad, if you could rebind the keys. But you simply can't. So I plugged in my controller and it worked for the game itself - But you still had to hold down the fire button. And not all of the controls seemed to work in the menu. I played a bit and what I could see were some red enemies shooting red bullets and my blue ship shooting blue bullets. But it couldn't keep my attention. This game could be worth playing, if it hadn't the controlling issues. But for now, I'm going to refund it.

Прошел давно. Простейший шмап с 0 духоты, который пройдет любой, кому даже пофиг на етот жанр. Графон на уровне не знаю, не nes, наверное smd. 3 перса, 9 боссов. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1717464398 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1717464326
