Steel Rain (2015)

[h1] Another shmup that is not bad but rather mediocre at best. Switch between 3 fire modes and obliterate enemies. Collect cash for upgrades so you can repeat same mission over and over again or just farm chimichangas using some clever strategy. Backgrounds are bland and boring. Controls are ok, so no complain here. Music is unfitting and could've been better. Overall gameplay lack some kind of interesting enemies and ship formations to make it much more interesting. Not recommended but still you can check it out. [/h1]

Sometimes buggy, often confusing, always fun.

Classic shoot em up arcade style game. great for what games are intended for, entertainment. even though i have beat this game many times, i keep coming back but because its just fun.

Garbage game. Feels like a student project. Cheap graphics. Nonsensical game play. Constant useless powerups...lots of modes and upgrades to distract from the complete mess of a poorly thrown together shmup. Buy it if its a dollar maybe, just to see if its as bad as I say it is.

This is an excellent side scrolling shoot 'em up.

A pretty good side-scroller shoot 'em up much along the lines of Reign of Bullets or Drifting Lands but marred by a few negatives... 1.It features the Times New Roman font. This may be ok for a retro-look but is out of place here and cheapens the whole thing. 2. The progress/update system is far too complicated than it needs to be making it ultimately quite overwhelming. I must have spent 90% of my time in-game trying to get my head around what things meant rather than actually shooting things. I'm still extremely confused. 3. Capped at 48fps?? Yes this DOES make a difference and YES this is a borderline deal-breaker for me. So there ya go. If the framerate issue was fixed, I might be more motivated to dive deeper into the game and figure things out but as is, this issue is a a major turn-off for me. Still a thumbs up though as it does play quite nicely.
