CounterAttack: Uprising Reviews

This is really really good game. I'm not exactly a fan of the genre, but the very challenging gameplay combined with the nearly 700 attachments sucked me in. There are SO many builds you can do, and each ends up having its own distinct playstyle. It's a lot of fun figuring out how to try and combine/earn attachments. Also its a great feeling when something that was really hard before becomes easy because of a build you came up with. I think this game would actually be very popular if it was in a viral video or something, just needs exposure.(Dev, if u do this, don't forget about me ;) ) Playing with friends online or in person is easy, smooth and a lot of fun. If you think you might like it, you will. If you like a challenge, you will. If you like tinkering, you will.

This is my definitive, go-to shmup on Steam. I enjoy doing solo runs as well as dropping into some coop sessions with friends for a good time all around. The campaign has branching paths to various difficulty tiers with welcomed gameplay variation peppered in, and some hype music. Huge variation of modules let you specialize loadout to maximize or balance a ship's performance. The single most enjoyable aspect of the game is using the green power-ups to enhance weapon systems during your run. Love the risk/reward of banking these to power up stronger systems. AND the game is still being actively updated/patched after so many years. Good on the devs, thank you for this gem. In conclusion, I hate minefield.

One of the most underrated SHMUPS I've ever played. Highly refined, has co-op, a workshop, cross-platform, tons of levels, weapons, and ships this really this has it all. Totally down for a sequel.
