Ship customization is on point too as well as controls.

Spacefighter Rukia is best described at a Tyrian/Raptor-like with the twist of random weapons. While it lacks a bit of polish - UI could give more information, writing could use a check by a native English speaker (it's not bad at all, just needs a little love), and the art could be better - the gameplay is very solid and fun. And for the price? Can't beat that. Works fine on the Steam Deck - just need to tweak control settings a bit.

I bought this game out of curiosity since it reminded me one of the many classic shoot em up i played on my Commodore 64/Amiga back in the days. The first few minutes of the game may be a bit confusing, but once understood the mechanics it captured me for few hours. It's not a flawless product and, from what i can understand, it's the firts project of this developer to whom i give credit to have tried to capture the spirit of my childhood's favourite old games. The gameplay is pretty the same of a vertical scroller shoot em up with the plus of XP and end stage loot. You can upgrade you ship and buy new weapons (which are randomized in Diablo style), choose different kind of missions and there is a storyline which involves our heroine (Rukia). I won't judge the graphics because, for these kind of games, i don't consider it of importance. For this price i think it deserves a chance and i will wait their next project :)

Not really my cup of tea, but it shows promises! It breaks from the usual shooter by bringing rpg elements like levelling and uipgrading your ship!

The game is hard at first but after playing a couple of mission i got a bit hooked by the customization system, the graphic is not that great, but for it's price it's worth a look at.
