Operation STEEL

If you plan on using keyboard to play, buy this game! However, i am using an xbox controller and it does not work correctly. It can't navigate menus. It can't switch weapon or item during gameplay. It can't pause the game. It CAN move the ship around, shoot, use bombs and use items. I've looked through the community threads and found several posts with the same issues. They were even replied to by the creator, saying they would try to fix it but that was 2 years ago and i have the same issues now that they had then. If there is a fix for this I will obviously change my review, i've tried all the suggestions from the community threads but no luck.

Massa!

自機や敵のデザインが正直いまいちで購入ハードルは高いと思われるがやってみるとなかなか良い 自機装備はメイン+サブ（ホーミングやシールドなど複数装備可）+クールタイム付きスーパーウエポン+ボンバー とごちゃごちゃっと装備できる進行はダライアスっぽい感じのカジュアルSTG

Great shoot'em with interesting procedural levels, great soundtrack and very nice graphics. The different power ups make the game a lot interesting.

I put off trying this because I thought it would be too easy, but honestly I enjoyed my first hour a lot more than I thought I would. I even unlocked hard mode by the end of my session #humblebrag. Great game so far with good difficulty pacing. I'm glad there are no permanent upgrades, only unlocks.

Pelín dificil para mi gusto... pero por lo demás ESPECTACULAR. Gráficos y Música muy guapos. Variedad de armas, estructura del juego y dinamismo general muy muy bueno. De mis juegos de naves favoritos de todos los tiempos. Buenísimo.

Operation STEEL manages to squeeze a surprising amount of replayability out of its weapon variety and randomized encounters. My two major concerns going into this game would be that the various items/upgrades would be unbalanced and therefore a "good run" would be at the mercy of RNG, and that the randomization would make each level feel like a same-y experience. I'm glad to report that this isn't true, the game seems very well balanced to me and there are just enough unique hazards and bespoke bullet patterns (especially in the bosses) that the game never bores you. Difficulty feels just right (1cc'd normal mode in about 6 hours as a mediocre Shmup player, but there's a Hard mode for the experts) and the colourful visuals are a treat. For a solo dev project, this is a fantastic achievement.

This is a good one! It is a lot of fun to play.

hahahaah permadeath !!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a 7.5 gameplay wise. Continue doesn't work, and there is also a code you can put your last save spot with your loadout. That doesn't work either. I'll come back in a couple of months to see if it's fixed and possibly update my review. Frustrating.
