Truxton Extreme

Find [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/46162974-Shoot-%2527Em-Up-Heaven/lists/] [u] All classic SHMUPS games [/u] [/url] on Steam here! Destroy wave after wave of hostile alien invaders. Dodge countless enemy projectiles, because if you don't, you won't survive for long. The original Truxton was released in arcades 38 years ago. Developed by Toaplan in 1988 and published by Taito, it tasked players, as was often the case back then, with stopping alien forces from conquering yet another planet. Four years later, Truxton 2 delivered a respectable sequel, but since then no new entries in the series have appeared, aside from ports of the first two games. The creative force behind Truxton was Masahiro Yuge, and he's back once again. So here we are: a brand-new Truxton created with the involvement of its original creator. I'm curious to see whether Yuge still has what it takes. The game immediately launches into a skippable tutorial on first startup. A tutorial for a shmup? Well, yes. There are a few mechanics beyond the usual "shoot everything and avoid getting hit" formula that you'll want to learn. Destroy crates to reveal power-ups, collect three P items to increase your …

Pretty much as good as it gets for a shmup. I have only played two levels thus far but had to come write a review. I only found out this game even existed by chance by reading a random comment mentioning it in an unrelated game, and I am very thankful I did. SUPER tight, basically zero lag controls, resolution settings, killer soundtrack, full control remapping, new weapons that were neither in T1 or T2, 6 stages and 3 characters to play through them with (I am not sure yet if the campaigns are different however the first level is the same for each character), a really easy mode that only seems to be a single level so I don't see the point, and a pure arcade mode which is unlocked when you beat the first level of story mode. The only criticism is that I believe you get powered up to the max level way too fast, by the end of stage 1 actually, and I did die one time and maintained my weapon and power, however it sends you back a little which is a bit old school - there should be an option to respawn in death spot IMO. But I am nitpicking, as the production values are insanely good for a shmup, the music is gorgeous and the controls are just SO tight.. oh and for a first for Truxto…

Absolutely no idea how I used to play this as a kid on Sega Genesis...

The story mode is excellent and makes this awesome game truly unforgettable!
