UNDER DEFEAT

full price, criminally underrated. excellent port

My favourite shmup, right next to Eschatos/Judgment Silversword. Played tons of it on PS3. It's pretty simple, the scoring system is understandable for anyone without a maths degree and the music's great. It also has badass helicopters blowing up everything in their paths.

A SEGA Dreamcast/Naomi classic that is always welcomed on any platform, and finally on PC! The additional stuff should be enough for old fans to justify buying the game again. The new "boosted" soundtrack being interesting but clearly departing from just sounding like a normal "remixed" version. It -can- grew on you but if not, no worries, all previous renditions of the BGMs are still there and kicking. Overall, you can clearly think of this being the "ultimate" official version of the game. It's a pretty solid port with enough content to last you for a while. Too bad G.Rev isn't keen to port "Border Down" for whatever reasons (we still got "Strania" before it, kind of mind blowing is you ask me...) but never say never, prove me wrong guys! In the meantime, Under Defeat it is~

A very addictive and extremely polished shmup! While it may look a bit generic at first glance, the levels have very tight design, and the visual and audio feedback that you get from shooting things is next-level amazing. The rotation mechanic is also a very small but neat addition that is very helpful for getting good coverage of the screen. The soundtrack is also pretty great. I will make one suggestion: don't bother with the Original soundtrack. Switch it to Arranged, as it is identical to the original but slightly extended (so each track gets its own guitar solo, basically). New Order soundtrack is a lot more upbeat, so definitely give this one a try if you find the original to be a bit too mellow. Boosted is for not me. Sounds like generic club music. There are three modes: Arcade is my personal preference. It has a vertical orientation similar to Raiden, as you can move to the left and right to slightly scroll the screen and reveal more of the stage. It's apparently not arcade-perfect, but that didn't take away from my enjoyment. New Order is the game re-designed for a 16:9 aspect ratio. To make up for the much wider playing field, you can rotate your helicopter a full 45 degrees to the left or right. It's a good mode if you want to play the game in widescreen, though since they essentially had to re-design the entire game, it does have a slightly different feel. Then there's New Order Plus. This is essentially an arrange mode, featuring many waves of enemies that you have to defeat to move forward. You also get to rotate your helicopter 90 degrees in either direction now. I believe this mode was made with the new and optional twin-stick control scheme in mind. Personally, this mode is not for me, but it is a neat addition if you just want something fresh. Any shmup fan needs to have this game in their library. (Maybe eventually we can get Border Down on Steam, too?)

Great port of a great shmup. Do kinda wish for some other windowed video options between 1280x720 and 1920x1080 though...

도를 믿습니까? 강철 장갑판을 뚫고, 폭발로 주변의 모든것을 박살내는 로켓도를 믿습니까?? 믿음을 가지면 지리는 타격감과 큰 폭발, 그리고 큰 쾌감을 가져다줄 것입니다. 단 한방에 주님 곁으로 보내버리는 우람한 로켓도의 성능, 믿음은 배신하지 않습니다. 믿음을 버리고 다른 길을 택한다면, 언젠가 끝에 도달은 하겠지만 쉽지는 않을 것입니다.

驾驶天翔的钢铁骑兵划过天际，在充满战火硝烟的战场上旋击射击，再临。 “帝国军”（影射盟军）与“联合军”（暗指轴心国）已经签署停战协议十几年，却在停火倒计时中疯狂投入最终决战。两位女飞行员驾驶原型攻击直升机冲向战场，试图扭转祖国命运。战争当然绝非儿戏，但在《天翔铁骑》的世界里，毁灭的硝烟味愈加浓郁——地面树木在冲击波中震颤，坦克行进时履带颠簸，被击毁的敌机拖着浓烟螺旋下坠，再配上漫天的爆炸特效。《天翔铁骑》，一部充满钢铁气息的游戏，或许正是这种特质铸就其延续二十年的独特魅力。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3483616632 本作最初是由G.rev公司为世嘉NAOMI街机平台开发的游戏，在2005年日本街机厅亮相后，次年便成为Dreamcast主机独占作品——命运多舛却绝境逢生。2011年在Xbox 360与PS3平台上推出了本作的高清重制版《天翔铁骑HD》。可惜现在已是二十年代中期，若不斥重金或翻出旧主机，几乎无缘得见。二十载光阴过去，这部经典作品终于以决定版的形式登陆蒸汽平台，这个姗姗来迟的版本或许会让很多粉丝欣慰。 本作的核心玩法虽然简易，但上手硬核。游戏中玩家可自由挑选四种直升机体，每种机体都配备有三种攻击方式：无限发射的直升机炮、炸弹还有僚机。激活僚机时会同步射击增强火力，但有冷却时间，需要等待其重新部署。和传统STG游戏一样，战场会掉落三种强化道具，升级火力或补充炸弹。本作的独特之处在于机体的八向转向机制，但令笔者难堪的是机体只能以每次45度旋转，这意味着我无法直接攻击预设的目标，必须通过精妙走位调整射击角度。在瞄准敌军的同时还不能忘记在铺天盖地的弹雨中走位，在闪转腾挪间统筹使用强化道具与炸弹，这就十分考量玩家的游戏技术。不过，这只是本作硬核之处的冰山一角。笔者初次进入游戏选择了NORMAL难度，未设定其他选项，仅有三命和两次续关机会，在BOSS一丝血的千钧一发之际暴毙却忘记续命，气得牙痒痒。显然，困难难度更需要玩家精湛的技术支撑。 游玩本作也需要一定技巧。受攻击判定的点位仅是驾驶舱，因此你可以大胆甩动机尾穿越弹幕，从容穿梭于慢速弹群之间，减少对炸弹的依赖，毕竟不能总是依靠炸弹清屏，最好留给关底BOSS。标志性的橙色子弹在初次登场时特别亮眼，它们最初可能只是一团普通子弹的聚合体，然而，在经过诡异曲线的滑动后，分裂成速度各异的子母弹，但躲避也十分容易，在分裂之前绕至后方即可轻松闪躲，只是你需要在移动机体的同时兼顾其他普通子弹的轨迹。 考虑本作是如此硬核的射击游戏，游戏也贴心地内置了练习模式支持任意难度关卡以供玩家反复挑战，帮助大家钻研敌人的行为模式。本作还收录了由《天翔铁骑》的原作曲者细江慎治和 SuperSweep 的成员所创作的全新 BGM 套装“BOOSTED”，相信老粉丝一定会在游玩本作的同时热泪盈眶。虽然本作只设置了五个不同的关卡，但反复磨练技术掌握诀窍的过程才是其精髓所在。游戏还收录了三种模式：“NEW ORDER”、“NEW ORDER＋”和“Arcade”，每种模式具有不同的画面尺寸、关卡结构和游戏规则。全成就则需要在每个模式下的全部关卡中通关，这些都为完美主义者准备了附加内容。 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3483616566 《天翔铁骑》凭借着其硬核的射击玩法着实令人沉迷，再配合本作充满钢铁气息的画面和电子质感的音乐，将街机射击的快感推向极致。若你是射击游戏的爱好者，我极力推荐入手《天翔铁骑》。 [code]欢迎关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45467420/]琴音社[/url] 让我们听见游戏的每一个音符♪~[/code]
