What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun are both better, but for sale around $12 It was a decent purchase for me as I like having as many arcade shooters as I can. Granted this isn't real arcade, but it's close enough, and a playthrough I did day one used more credits than the game cost me if I paid per credit in a real arcade. I think I blew well over 30 credits as I'm that bad on the game and I blew 10 credits the day before I wrote the review for fun. I wouldn't buy this game as the only arcade shooter, there are better ones, but on sale if adds to a solid collection.6 found this helpful
When booting this game up on Steamdeck I was a bit disappointed as the game didn’t seem to run at full speed and had awful audio glitching. I had a play around with compatibility and found that running Proton 7.0-6 and going into the in game options>screen settings and changing the windows size from full screen to 1920x1080 fixed all the issues. Annoying, you have to tinker to make it work but it got there. Happy shmuping!!3 found this helpful
Not as good as the chronology release, but still a great game.2 found this helpful
It's a interesting piece of shmup history, but is still a basic and short game from 1995. It should be £$14.99 AT THE MOST. £$25.00 for this is a borderline scam.1 found this helpful
There are obvious sound problems, but overall I've enjoyed it. Achievements require just beating the game, soundtrack is nice, stage 1 BGM is my favorite (although ruined by how it is played) I guess Ray’z Arcade Chronology version is better. This one is alright to get when it's on sale.1 found this helpful
Layer Section is fun, and with probably one of the coolest player ship designs, and cover art in the the history of SHMUPs. The gameplay is unique because enemies can change layer depth, requiring you to alternate attacking between standard shot and the lock on laser. It's challenging, but also rewarding. A must play for fans of this type of shooter.
