About DemonStar
After many long years, Scott Host, the creator of Galactix and Raptor Call of the Shadows, has remastered his shareware legend DemonStar - and now it comes soaring back with new game modes and revised gameplay. Originally published in 1997 and later earning the COMPUTER GAMING WORLD's "Shareware Game of the Year 1999" award, DemonStar was and still is considered by fans as one of the best 2D space shooters on PC.
- New game modes include Legacy Mode and Enhanced Mode- 60 or 120fps - Original Soundtrack by Bobby Prince- New Soundtrack by Pfeffermouse- Graphic improvements- Tate/vertical mode for vertical monitors
DemonStar is the most thrilling vertical scrolling shooter on the market! DemonStar takes shooters to the extreme with controller support, 3D rendered graphics, explosive sound effects and a brilliant soundtrack. To destroy each boss, you will have to search for many weapons such as lasers, homing missiles and many more. As you pilot your spaceship through each of the 18 progressive levels, you can build up an arsenal worthy of a match against the XIDUS empire.

Finally, a classic, challenging space-shooter bullet hell game with catchy BGM that isn't just showing off sassy poses of templar anime girls while they're megabombing sh*t xD /s The legendary game that only cool kid PC users in the early '00s knew about because we couldn't afford a dedicated game console, unlike some of those entitled rich bully circles (lol). Instead, we had random CD free-shareware like SMYGB with a Pokemon Gold ROM in the same folder, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire SWF bootleg with your local languages, Blobby Volley, Magic Lines, and, proudly, DemonStar 3.25 Unregistered sitting on the window bar. Yeah, we were cool. We always knew that 😎️. But what’s even cooler is when the devs rerelease their games years later and make them even better. Worth the price and your time. Can't stop recommending this game to other people. The Legacy mode has its own charm for nostalgia, but I personally prefer the Enhanced version for the gameplay. If you've experienced (suffered) other bullet hell games before, believe me: change the difficulty to Insane and always play from Level 1 without using credits, so you can put your name on the high scores as a prove of your pers…
Fun classics ftw
One of my favorite childhood game. Runs smooth and the normal difficulty got a bit harder than i remember (or im just old).
certified hood classic
Played the freeware version as a kid in the early 2000s on my dad's PC. The moment I discovered it on steam I bought it. Playing the extra levels was a blast!
old school fun, and price is Right
