A vertical arcade shoot'em up with an inventive teleport system, lots of fast-blazing action and explosions, tons of boss fights, a risk/reward based score system and a proper challenge for both veteran and new players of the genre.

väldigt bra shoot em up spel. En av de bättre jag spelat
Quite enjoyable shooter with a wide variety of options to suit players of all skill levels. Give it a try!
Sophstar is hell. Really, really, fun... hell.. + The gameplay is extremely fun, enemies have massive variety, levels are handcrafted, and learning how to dodge and handle each level, while painful, was really enjoyable. + The art of this game is so well done, it is some of the best pixel art ive seen from a retro style game. + this is exactly what I would expect from a bullet hell, its a bit grindy but if it weren't fun i wouldn't have played it. - 1-3 is extremely easy, and then 5-8 is extremely hard, this can make it repetitive when I have to do the first 3 levels over and over again. + The plot is not bad. The commander is a bit odd, but its not a bad plot. - all ships in the game are either not Arobe-D, or Arobe-D. because there needed to be a high damage, good teleport, secondary invincibility, high AoE ship to make sure all the other ones felt like trash. = To beat the game, the player must reach the TRUE final boss on intermediate without the use of tokens (tokens can be used during the final boss), this is what makes it so challenging, and why only 2% of players have actually beaten this game. Again, it is really fun and rewarding, but it is CHALLENGING.
Nota 6 de 10 O que posso dizer a respeito desse título é que para que curte esse tipo de jogabilidade é um bom passatempo.
Not my usual genre, but I found this game easy to pick up and play. I really liked the graphics, both in-game and in the cutscenes. Lots of ships to choose from and a bunch of customizations possible. It picks up ideas from lots of similar games. Dev has done their research. I thought the reward loot slowly getting reduced and then disappearing was a great idea, as it pushes the player into a risk/reward behavior. It'd be great to able to quit the game in Arcade mode with current progress being saved. This way you can start a run and safely continue if you can't play for an extended period of time, which was my case the first time I played it. I'd definitely make it a high prio task for a future update.
Sophstar é um jogo muito bom em vários aspectos. O jogo é focado em um nicho muito específico em um nicho. Ou seja, nicho² porém, como não dá pra agradar todo mundo mesmo, aqueles apaixonados em jogos do gênero bullet hell, que amam uma gameplay desafiadora. Podem confiar em mim, que este jogo é feito pra vocês. O nome do jogo não é SOFT star. Lembram que mencionei ser nicho²? é justamente porque o jogo tem foco em jogadores acostumados com o estilo de jogo, o que faz ser um desafio até mesmo para os melhores. Eai? Acha que consegue colocar seu nome no Ranking? Você é bom? PROVE! Aos demais jogadores, tem várias mecânicas legais e desafios que te ajudam a aprender mais sobre o jogo e se aprimorar para alcançar níveis maiores de gameplay. O que? não se sente tão bom? A prática leva a perfeição. Garanto que o jogo te dará muitas horas de diversão. O jogo atenta aos detalhes, com animação e execução impecáveis. Não é atoa que já possui prêmios e avaliações positivas de peso no mercado. RECOMENDO.
It's wonderful to see new old-school Shmups being released! I like the scoring system, the old PC engine shooter vibes, and the amount of content! Digging the various ships with very high skill ceilings powers. Looking forward to more from this studio.

i like it! it's hard! but it's FREE!! the amount of money i would've lost as a kid in the arcades in the 80's if this was there. as i said, it's hard, but there are lots of training modes to hone your skills. this makes it fair.
Very high quality shmup with alot of QOL features in latest release... tons of filters for fun/retro style looks too.
