Crisis Wing

Crisis Wing is a tightly focused vertical shoot ’em up that embraces the spirit of classic arcade shooters without burying the experience beneath unnecessary systems. Developed and published by Pieslice Productions, it draws heavily from the colorful, aggressive style associated with shooters of the 1990s. Its priorities are immediately clear: destroy enemy formations, weave through incoming fire, collect weapon upgrades, defeat increasingly dangerous bosses, and push toward a better performance on the next attempt. Rather than relying on narrative spectacle, the game places mechanical skill and repetition at the center of its appeal. The main campaign takes players through seven stages filled with enemy waves, environmental backdrops, concentrated projectile patterns, and large boss encounters. Each level functions as both an action challenge and a test of pattern recognition. Simply reacting to bullets is often insufficient once the intensity increases. Learning where enemies appear, determining which targets should be destroyed first, and positioning the ship before dangerous attacks begin can make a significant difference. This creates the familiar arcade rhythm where repeated…

One of my new favorites! Feels like a classic PC ENGINE shooter. Intense but fair gameplay with an excellent difficulty curve. Excellent music & graphics. Highly recommended to classic Toaplan / TechnoSoft / Compile SHMUP fans.

I was looking for the old "Battle Squadron" feeling and this game is right up my alley: Not too complicated. Subtle upgrade system. Nice instant bombs. Good learning curve and different playmodes. Played 3h straight and have to force myself to stop. :-)

Simple, fun, fairly challenging shump. If you like Truxton, you'll love this. It's NOT bullet-hell, despite the tag. Dev, you should update the description on the store page with something more… engaging :)

Great game! It's nice and colorful. I love the enemy explosions and sound design in general. Challenging, but doesn't feel impossible. The ships look great and I love how the powerups change not only the shot itself, but the look of the ship. Anyway, it's a fun game and I'm looking forward to making it further than the 3rd stage. The practice mode is also helpful. You can select where you wanna start in the level (I selected the boss for stage two, for example). After half an hour of practice, I went from losing 4-5 lives to that boss every time to losing only 2 lives (WHILE not bombing). It also helped me learn the patterns of the enemies and their shot so that I could notice a tendency which made it a lot easier to position myself correctly. Good aesthetic, good vibe, good sound. Would recommend!

I need to say it, i LOVE TO HATE THIS GAME and i HATE TO LOVE THIS GAME. Pros : amazing graphics, just the good kind of high res retro, a game that looks how a remastered pc engine cd game should look like. Amazing soundtrack, each stage has a fantastic tune to it, the effects are also great, SPECIAL POINT TO THE ''YEEEEAAAAAAAAAHH'' that pops out from time to time. The game is fun, fast, furious and engaging , you really feels happy playing it, it is what a retro themed shooter should look and feel life. now the cons, the damn cons : IT IS UNFORGIVING to a fault, you will lose ships and i mean a lot, i am not kidding, don't believe what others say, they are just too proud to admit it, this game will kick the ass of everyone and anyone, i think i am pretty good at these games and it made me rage to no end. The chaos is way too much, the enemies are way way way more well equipped than you, the powerups are a joke, and u easily lost the cumulative you have and then good luck taking out bosses. Also, let us be honest, 3 weapons, with one of them only being a clear winner. stages are long , longer than needed. way too many stages, one would think it is good thing, but trust me…
