That's a somewhat crudely made (see the menu design & the logo) old-school vertical shmup with a twin-stick twist - you have a main gun (trigger1), a turret gun (trigger2+second joystick) & a starblade energy sword (any bumper+second joystick), thankfully the last 2 can't be used together, but still the control scheme slightly overloads my motor cerebrum & fingers tend to miss buttons. There are enemy projectiles which can't be killed with any of the secondary weapons, so the overall skill demands training. Graphics & effects ain't too impressive, everything looks unnatural, kinda plastic, the screen space is tight & gets cluttered fast. I'm not pleased with the process.
[h1]Описание:[/h1] Вертикальный скролл шутер. 18 уровней (доступны все сразу), 3 корабля на выбор (с кучей расцветок разных) и куча оружия на выбор.... Начинаем полет. Бонусов никаких нет. Только то оружие что мы выбрали на старте. Нельзя пропускать мимо корабли, а значит нужно уничтожить все что есть на экране (допускается небольшой пропуск). У нас всего одна жизнь - умерли. Начинаем сначала. В игре относительно неплохой саунд и все... Графика такая себе, а сам геймплей скучен до нельзя... Скучно уже через 5-10 минут полетов. А игра рассчитана не на один час прохождения... Проходите мимо. Есть десятки куда более интересных скролл шутеров.

Look, the game is far from great. It has a few bugs including a crash issue, it could use some work in the graphics department with the backgrounds especially looking very bland, and it totally lacks any sound effects which causes a distinct lack of feedback. However, the game has heart and a very interesting mechanic whereby you control the leviathan (aircraft) with your keyboard like any other shmup (Shoot'em up) while simultaniously controlling the starblade (onboard turrent thing) with the mouse. The game needs a way more polish but the current gameplay is engaging. If you are a fan of these types of shooters, this isn't a bad way to spend $4 (currently 2.99 on sale). I'll recommend it, with the hope that the developer will update the game because it really has a chance to be pretty good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s1MPSmdQL8w
Hey everyone and this is my review about the game! This is a Spaceship shoot them up game. [h1]Interface/Menu/Settings[/h1] There is an instruction manual. No music or sound sliders. You can play the game with a controller. You can not change the keyboard and controller controls. [h1]About the game.[/h1] You are picking one of the 100 ships from the collection. Like they said, all ships are the same the only difference is the color or the shape. Before you begin you are able to choose your own shooting style. If you click one of the attack weapons and press the spacebar button. The ship will Demo it. There are around 18 sectors and infinite mode. But you are able to play in every sector mode. Even if you start on Sector 13 for the first time, it's totaly possible to do this. So there is no level progression. The enemies are coming and going in lines. They have their own movement pattern and they will follow this until they have reached the end of the screen. If they have reached the screen-exit, You will have 1 miss counter. If having too much of these misses, you will lose the mission. You have no lives and the ultra weapon is laughable. Unless this meant for bosses. You can fire an ultra weapon everytime you are absorbing 100 protectiles with your starblade. When defeating a boss (which is rather easy compared to the level itself) you will move on to the next sector/level. The missing count will NOT decrease and the ammount of health that you get restored is toooo low! All ships are the same except look and color. Most of the swords feel super underpowerd or useless. (except the 1-hitter). It's more of a defensive thing instead of a weapon. But you can't hurt the enemy unless you have the purple one. Weapons feel weak or you get too overwhelmed. Too much enemies at once / or the number is too high. (Some enemies will always escape coz other ships might block the damage or too much protectiles or other things happening). No level Progression, because you are able to choose which level from the start 1-18. No progression feelings at all. No rewards. You can switch between music from the playlists, if you only have the time to do so. There is NO sound available. Too colorful and too much things happening at once, which could be distractive for the eyes. Hud on the left side is a bit too small to read. Or the text sample is just small. Sometimes the game icon in your toolbar (when at desktop) will not be shown. You have to alt-tab back into the game to fix this. [h1]Other things.[/h1] No idea why, but my computer is making really weird noises when this game has been started up. Could be my computer, i am not sure why or what. This game feels unfinished. ------------------- I Give this game a 5/10
General Review: I like it. It's a good all around game. I'd recommend it. Don't get me wrong, it could use some polish, but for 3 dollards its damn good. It's definately not easy, but if you're familiar with other shmups or you just like a challenge this should be no problem. Personally I like that all the levels and weapons are unlocked right out of the box. This is the kind of game where you can just jump in and play to kill a few hours. The sword and turret mechanic takes some getting used to but its interesting and adds a new dimention to the game. Also the music is killer. There is no sound other than the music, which might seem weird to some, but I get tired of listening to repeditive firing anyway. This is a good all around indie game. I give it a 7 out of 10. If they keep adding to it (and so far they have been) I'll probably up that to an 8 out of 10. Places where it could be improved: -Cards. All of these games should have cards. -There doesn't seem to be any score board where you can compare one run to the next. In a game like this that really needs to happen. -There are no rewards or unlockables. I do like that everything is unlocked and you can jump right in, but it would be nice if the game rewarded you for beating it or something. -The instructions are not as clear as they could be, but I have seen them change some of this up. It's better than when I bought it, but it still needs a little work. -The text is too small in some places. If I've got to squint to read it then it's not going to help me in the game. I tried to pause the game to see what my score was, but you can't see any stats when you pause. -The ultra weapon is a little weak. It destroys everything in its path, but its hard to get out (you need 100 charges) and it's hard to aim. At least make it bigger or something. -Ok, this last one might be me being picky, but since I'm listing stuff I'd like to see, how about the ability to change the difficulty? Like a really hard for experts and an easy for the novice? Stuff I really liked: -I loved the turret and sword once I got used to it. It's kind of a mental gymnastics to move and aim with two different guns while still using your starblade to block bullets. It's kind of awesome once you get into it. -I thought the music was great. Took me forever to realize you could change songs in the escape menu. (there were some bugs with the music, but I think they fixed it) -I really like that there are so many colors and ships to choose from, even if they don't do anything different. Having that much choice in how you look is a nice touch. -You get to pick a primary and a secondary gun that you can switch between in a fight. And with the 9 different guns it feels very flexable. To me they all seem pretty well balanced but I've got my favorite. -Infinity Mode! I love it when games put a game mode that just allows you to play. -The enemies are varied and creative. A lot of these games just put the same enemy in there over and over. In this game there are lots of different baddies. -The new backgrounds are interesting. When the game first came out the bgs were flat and plain. Now they have depth and they move. Some people might complain that there are no space backgrounds, but really I like these. It's different. *I'll finish this off with a trick I learned. If you leave the controls set to mouse and keyboard you can still move with a controller (I'm using a plain old xbox controller) but still use the mouse for the turret and sword. Sometimes the sword feels a little clunky on with the stick and moving with on the keyboard with wasd isn't nearly as precise. So I use the controller in one hand to move and the mouse in the other to aim the turret/sword.
Stardate 11/16/2016. Captain Tex. In all seriousness, I have been a gamer for most of my life. I remember drowning my self esteem issues in quarters at local arcade. One thing that always kept me coming back was the possibility of getting further and further in each game. I am talking about games like Asteroids.. Centipede... Space Invaders.. Here we are, in the year 2016. Every game imaginable is out there to meet the needs of every type of gamer. The RPGer. The FPSer. The MOBAer. And for me, Leviathan Starblade fits the niche of the Arcade gamer. Bringing back the nostalgic feeling of being in the arcade, Leviathan Starblade gives you all the tools necessary to truly feel like you are the master and commander of space. Another reviewer thought having all of the levels unlocked was a negative- I found it quite the opposite. I thought it was a positive. After a long day at the office with 8 bosses telling you to do something 8 different ways, you just want to sit back and blow ♥♥♥♥ up. This game satisfies that need. In Leviathan Starblade, you can customize your desired loudout to annihilate those in your galaxy. While it the game hits a lot of the familiar notes of your typical space shmup, what it does differently is quite unique. That is where the sword comes in- your melee ability. I found myself gleefully using the rightclick the stab multitudes of enemies into oblivion. This isn't going to be the developers magnum opus with an amazing RPG story and epic saga-feeling... this is a straight up "kill everything in whatever you want". Customizing your leviathan and then trying out the various missions is very rewarding. It is a great way to blow off steam. Again, the experience is great if you are looking for the 80's arcade feel. I highly recommend, especially if you are in the market for various games to load up in your arcade cabinet emulator.
It isnt worth it for its price.There are so many old games like that and even modern titles for free.Why to pay money for anything, if u can get better product for lower price?Sorry, but this game is great for cards,so price 0.50e is fine :)
This is a pretty fun game. At it's core it is a basic scrolling shoot em up but where it excels is its' weapon combinations. You select a primary and secondary weapon from a list of options that you can switch between as well as a "starblade" that is used primarily for defending yourself from projectiles but each has their own unique abilities and uses. Graphics: The graphics are good but not extraordinary. Just good graphics for shmup. Music: The music is great and gives you a list of songs to choose from. Sound effects: This game could really use some sound effects. There are essentially none which does detract from its' immersiveness. Just a few simple explosion sounds would help the game a lot. Controls: The controls are excellent. I didn't notice any problems with the responsiveness and everything seemed to work smoothly. Final Thoughts: I really liked a lot of what this game has to offer. I feel a few things could be added in to make it a better experience, but for the price, this is definitely worth playing for fans of this type of game. I made a video review showing off some of the game here: https://youtu.be/wBN9hS3j7Xs
