Used to recommend this game. Now I do not. After playing a few games of similar style, like Raptor, Saviors, Project Starship and a few more, I can say do not waste your money on this game. Steam is full of better games of this genre.

Initially bought this game in the shmup sale as I like shmups, it looked passable & had trading cards and thought, well I can at least sell them and get some money back, however, it is actually a decent game. Sure it isn't anything specal, but it does the job rather well and there is a decent selection of ships to chose from all with varied stats I've only tried 2 on the basic mode, and I was so bad at the other modes that I don't remember if you even chose a ship on them...gotta love 1337 projectile hunting skills. Anyways, the game has 5 different modes, each with their own mechanics [of which I am still to unlock blitz because I'm just bad] Onto my complaints about the game. Firstly it can sometimes feel like you're being ripped off a bit with the almost claustraphobic screen size, could have maybe done with a little more room to move, as it also appears you cant go fully to the edge of the screen either and your ship is a bit on the large side, which isn't a problem until you get the levels where you view from above the ship, then things get a bit tight, also with some enemies coming from behind and just sitting there acting clever because you can't do anything about them it can induce profanity. Secondly what I perceive to be a bug where, upon destroying a boss or finishing a level your ship will either be locked in place or go through a set leaving the area manouvre, but enemy projectiles stay on screen and it can lead to death because they can still hit you. Finally we have the enemies shooting at you from out of the field of play, or flying through your plane on a different axis I have no problem with a few uses of this mechanic, but it was possibly overused, and with some of the ships flying through, its was a little hard to tell when to be elsewhere. Even after finding more bad than good to say about the game, I have to recommend it. It's cheap, does pretty much what you expect from it and passes a decent few hours, unless of course, you don't like shmups. In which case, why the smeg have you read all of this?

Got this on sale on a whime since i like bullet hells and this was fun! Great job! Pros: Online co-op Quick levels Different ship types that vary Annoying enemies Can see the bullets when comes at you Cons: Network lag with online co-op (random) host doesnt get affect team mate does The enemies in the bg are hard to read (hard to tell if there foreground or bg) The Gui gets in the way ov the bottom enemies and bullet spreads Suggestions: If the gui was more compacted and had display which icon was next to those stats that it affected. Ship hit box a bit tighter Overall a fun quick game if u like bullet hells

I like how it is a side scroller with a 3d environment. The 3d terrain and clouds adds a unique feel to this side scrolling shooter. Its fun to play as well. Bullet hell mania. lol

Classical retro shooter with nice graphics and cool gameplay. The game can be a bit hard, which is good for people that actually like a challenge. Sweet game!

An underwhelming shooter with erratic enemies. While controls are decent, tedious hit points and poor design make it overall unworthy.

This game is superby difficult but fun to play if your in for space shooting galactic action! Cons Extreme Difficult can make u not play this short spectacular game Pros A urban downhill mess that becomes a classic Harbor my name its about to get drilled with satisfaction steep stairway gameplay narrow roads i mean areas that indicate an familiar passageway not even the freight containers can put this game into a negativity shell highlighting options typical obstacles to block your way I GIVE THIS GAME a 9.0/10 go big or go home love the burrito master

Was a lot of fun! Very easy to get into the zone and plow through all the enemy ships. Works great on steam deck too!

The game is overall fun and simple, the graphics are nice with 3D models, there's a lot of action but it's not too overwhelming. The developer seems active with this game which is nice. After an update the game now supports multiple resolutions and vertical screens (shrinked). If you have an arcade machine with a 16:9/9:16 screen, it plays well with an arcade button panel. Recommended.

A good shmup with multiple modes and plenty of replay-ability. The different modes of the game offer a good variety. Story Mode plays as you would expect with some fun sequences and boss fights. The classic mode gives a challenge which is very different in mechanics from most available shmups that i've played. The best part for me personally is the survival -> blitz mode -> Turbo Difficulty! Endless waves of intense action! Not sure why more shmups dont do this! The graphics are a bit dated but have that classic pc/arcade charm. I would like to see some more variety in the different ships beyond stats.
