Man this game is literal onscreen fireworks! Killer soundtrack aswell. Lots of bullet dodging and a mechanic that makes your shield absorb the bullets and grants you power-ups. It's nice to see these old style arcade games being made again with all the modern day tools we have now, without losing any of that retro gaming nostalgia. Recommended!
Schildmaid MX is yet another indie SHMUP that manages to bridge the gap between newcomers and veterans nicely. Easy to learn core mechanics, a fantastic difficulty curve, ship types that further customize difficulty. An excellent title to get into the genre with. On top of that, the game is an audiovisual treat, especially with its CRT Filter! All in all, it's an addictive gameplay loop wrapped in a feast for the senses. Absolutely recommended!
Superb!
This game is a blast! I feel like I`m back in the good old arcade days. The game mechanics are simple but difficult to mater. And when there`s no way out, it`s time for the ex ability - Enjoy the fireworks of explosions and the unbelievable sound. Well done!
This is really fun! It's like those fun shooter games on the SNES but supercharged! Lot's of visual details, simple but good. Great job from the devs
「敵の弾を吸収する」という秀逸なアイデアを、敵配置や敵弾の量で活かすと、ここまで面白くなるのかという、ゲームデザイン、プランニングのお手本のようなShooterゲーム。 さらに、チュートリアルから高難度までの多段階の選択や、多彩な攻撃方法の違う自機により、全く飽きることなく長く遊べるボリュームも素晴らしい。 とても派手でモダンな画面の中に、レトロゲームを感じるドット絵もあり、日本発祥のゲームらしさを感じる洋物ゲームであり、日本のShooterゲームへのリスペクトも感じられ日本人として大変嬉しい。
Schildmaid MX hat mich schon jetzt überzeugt. Macht total bock das Spiel. Das Prinzip dahinter ist durchdacht. Die Projektile zu adsorbieren und dadurch Erfahrung für die nächste Raumschiffklasse zu bekommen, oder dann im höchsten Level einfach noch mehr Punkte finde ich gut! Die Gegner sind kreativ gestaltet und fordern einen heraus, die unterschiedlichen Raumschifftypen geben einem individuelle Möglichkeiten diese sich nach seinem Spielstil auszuwählen.
I love shmups, me. love 'em. This one is an immediate favourite. VERY highly recommended!
Woah, this game ooozes with visual and audio charm, super polished and so many awesome effects, what a blast to play! The absorption mechanic is really cool, adding this kinda ping-pong balancing act of "collecting" the enemies bullets and shooting some baddies! Really cool stuff, looking forward to soaking up more of it. Edit: it plays great on Steamdeck!
La cosa es más simple de lo que parece, arrastras las cadenas, atrapas las balas, pastoreas los enemigos para sacar balas y haces que los especiales vuelen para sobrevivir. Es "sencillo" pero también se pone complicado, buena suerte en los modos EX, la necesitarás. WILSONS HAVE FEELINGS!!!!!!!!
