ОЦЕНКА: 2 / 5 Драйвовый аркадный шутемап с запредельной сложностью. Длится полчаса, но при этом отсутствует возможность поставить на паузу. По нажатию Esc игра закрывается. Разрешение крайне низкое, а игра, обращаю ваше внимание, вышла в 2011 году! Сохранения отсутствуют, прокачка отсутствует, сюжет отсутствует. Кто-то мог бы возразить, что это харкдор и олдскул, но помойным червям слова в этот раз не давали.
Astro Port is a developer of boutique doujin arcade-likes. They obviously put a lot of love and care into their games which are always replete with gorgeous details, excellent stage and enemy designs, epic bosses, and fun gameplay mechanics. I see folks complain about their games' difficulty. Are they hard? Yes, certainly by today's standards, but compared to the arcade games they pay homage to, they are tough but fairly designed. Are you expected to clear them on your first go? No. Game overs, just like in the arcade games of yore are expected. There is an easy mode if that really isn't for you, but normal is for those interested in building up skill and who want to earn their victory. And the nice thing is Astro Port's formula of customization and level exploration with branching paths and approaches ensure that repeat playthroughs are not boring as you'll have an opportunity to tinker with different combinations of weapons, tactics, and level paths. SATAZIUS has multiple primary weapon options which couple together with 2 sub-weapon slots that can be powered up along with a powerful charge attack (which is your first option of insurance if you get in over your head). The game is further generous with lives, shields, checkpoints, and continues (a full 9 on normal). Despite how many bullets are potentially on screen at a time, I never found myself having a hard time recognizing what is going on on-screen. As with any shooter, you develop skills of pattern recognition as you play, but familiarity with shmups will make this an easy pick up and play. I suck at shmups, but on my first few playthroughs I had little difficulty clearing many of the levels. One of the biggest flaws is the lack of d-pad support (seems to only work with the stick). But, at least Astro Port fixed this for their later games like Gigantic Army which support stick and d-pad. Personally, I find it not terribly difficult to play with an analog stick and the added precision for getting right up against obstacles to grab power ups without crashing is helpful.
[ぐらでぃうす」にそっくりな作品。自機の装備が初回から強いのでそれほど難しくない。
eigentlich wollte ich super bewerten, nur leider wieder ein entscheidender Minuspunkt: keine Speicherpunkte nach erfolgreicher Mission. Wenn die Leben aufgebraucht sind, geht es zurück auf Anfang. nicht gerade motivierend. Schade!

Six stages of classic shoot’em up goodness. I like the reduced graphic style with great visibility of enemy bullets and obstacles. The game is quite hard, but there is an easy mode for noobs like me. SATAZIUS can still be challenging because there is a checkpoint system instead of just respawning where you died. Don’t die too often because your upgrades will decrease every time you do. Luckily the level design is quite fair with plenty of pickups to power up again. There is a lot of obstacle-dodging in this game. So beware if that isn’t your preference in shoot’em ups. Some cheap trial and error passages. But for almost every cheap trap there is an achievement to ease the pain of dying. The game can be mean but still wants to be your friend. Banger soundtrack! Plenty of weapon loadouts to choose from. What else could you ask for for a few Dollars?
O jogo vale o que vc paga. Vale a pena comprar, mas vou te dizer: Pra fazer 1cc nesse jogo, vai ser duro. Não pela dificuldade do numero de balas na tela, mas por vc ter que memorizar todo o caminho que tem que seguir. O jogo se preocupou mais em fazer armadilhas para o jogador morrer do que colocar um bullet hell pra vc desviar. O nome SAtazius vem de Satanas, vc vai lembrar dele nas diversas armadilhas que o jogo te coloca e vc morre.
Pas terrible.
シューティングはそれほど得意ではないが難易度EASYなら1時間ほどでクリアできた。 普通の横スクロールシューティングで、結構面白い。恐らくいろいろオマージュしていて、見たことのある敵やギミックがちらほら。ベタが好きならおすすめ。 EASYだからか弾幕は薄かったが、地形シューティングの名の通り、地形にやられることが多かった。途中、ロックマンやってんのかな?ぐらいの地形だった。また、武装が強力で未強化状態でも敵のほとんどを処理できる為、移動と回避に専念しやすいのだが、それでもなお地形とギミックにやられる。ゲームバランスが結構いいのかも。 コンテニュー用のクレジットが9回分もあった。おかげでクリアできた。 NORMALも少しプレイした。(未クリア) 地形を知っている分やられにくいが、敵の弾幕はEASYと比べて結構増える。自機狙いが多いため誘導しないと回避が厳しい。なかなかやりごたえがあって楽しい。
Too much ♥♥♥♥ going on in the screen.
