✦ AI summary

Shootvaders: The Beginning is a fun top-down shooter with solid graphics, satisfying weapon upgrade mechanics, and co-op gameplay that players enjoy. However, the game suffers from polish issues including missing volume and display settings, unclear tutorial explaining the mouse-only movement controls, and visibility problems with certain visual elements that can lead to cheap deaths. Players appreciate the core gameplay but feel the experience would benefit from better UI implementation and clearer visual feedback.

Not recommended Jul 29, 2023
I love indie games, but if they want me to love them back, they need basic controls for volume and display. Seems like that would be a lot easier than making a game fun to play, which this one actually is! I'll change my review if the game is ever updated with those kind of features.

Great top down shooter. Nice graphics and good speed of the game - not frantic but enough to keep you busy. I really like the system of upgrading weapons with resources :) Even better in Co-op.

Good looking top down shooter. Nice models and animations/effects. I was comfused at the first time, when you are going to game by mouse but you are not moving by mouse. Some simple tutorial would be great. First waves were okay, but when the tunnel comes, crystals were not vissible much so I fly through them and suddenly died. Sometimes it is hard to read what is bonus item and what is enemy projectile, stars are clear. After game, I would expect mouse cursor will apear, but it will apear in next window. I wasn't playing it for a long time, so I don't know if there is someting like worlds/planets to go. For better progression.
