Star Waker

The early levels are quite fun and I like how you gain skill points by completing objectives. But there's a gamebreaking bug. The default controls are, somehow, QSZE instead of ASDF. You can remap them- but A and W appear to be used for using your consumable powerups, and you CAN'T remap those, so you just spam them as you're moving. Honestly it's a shame, because the controls are therefore too awkward to play.

Star Waker is a nice Shooter with a compelling story and some RPG elements. The upgrade system in particular is very well done, rewarding you for achieving bonus objectives and the skills changing the way you play as you unlock them. The story is nice but some times the good ideas are a bit held back by a somewhat poor delivery. Gameplay wise while there is some cases of annoyance due to "unlucky" inavoidable damage (but the game seems to be built with that in mind), the fatastic boss fights were definitly worth it as for some of them I was feeling like I was fighting a boss in a souls game. All and all Star Waker is a enjoyable shooter with replayability through bonus levels and the two difficulty levels, while not the perfect game ( but is it even possible ) if you like shooting things in space it's definitly worth getting.

Bon SW ... facile de l'évaluer. *récupère sa main engourdie après 7h dessus* Donc, petit jeu sympathique du style r-type, avec une petite progression rpg pas trop difficile à faire pour maximiser tout nos vaisseaux. L'histoire est bateau mais a le mérite de se tenir d'un bout à l'autre. La musique ne fait pas mal aux oreilles bien que les sons du jeu soient parfois un peu pénible quand il y a pas mal d'ennemis à l'écran. Les contrôles sont assez bons mais c'est vrai que ça manque un peu d'une amélio pour autolock les ennemis ^^" Il y a deux fins à atteindre et des niveaux bonus inutiles mais qui prolonge un peu le plaisir du jeu. Ah, et c'est en FR ;) Je recommandes :)

Claims controller support, but it seemed almost non-existent. Could not remap shoot to a trigger or change which stick controlled movement/direction. And you have to change the "accept/reject" mapping just to be able to use the A/B buttons to do anything else.

great game, has a indie feel to it but the upgrade system and game mechanics were really fun and fluent, story was pretty good, overall no complaints

A wonderful bullet hell game, after not having played a bullet hell style game for many years it was quite enjoyable to play this game, even with its few frustrating moments. But what bullet hell game doesnt offer such frustrations every once in a while? This game takes place IN SPACE! As Ariane Ducenar you learn of the back story of the galaxy and what all has happened to your fellow kind. Learning quickly of a virus that has doomed mankind into a mostly permanent semi-cryogenic stasis in pods awaiting a supercomputer to make a cure. Pros - Decent story - Fun gameplay - Reasonable & Forgiving objectives - Interesting skill trees - Enjoyable strategic levels (not including the bonus levels) - Interesting bosses (even if not entirely new concepts) Cons - Price ($5.00 recommended) - Feels short - Some information feels missing or hard to locate I did 100% this game, gifted to me by a friend and challenged by them to 100% it.

Game is a fun shmup. I like the characters and the story they've got here, and the challenges make it interesting. I recommend it, if you're hankering for a SHMUP.
