Revolgear Zero

Good shmup Lots of unlockable weapons (they're all broken) Recently got an update to add 4 new ships (well, 2 ships and 2 "ships"), idk if there's more to come but it's really nice Runs are very short and it's very beginner friendly, so even if you're not that into shmups, if it looks cool to you, check it out And with all the weapons and stuff, the game has a lot of variety; even if you struggle, you'll always unlock new weapons to check out in your next runs

It's fun though maybe a bit easy with how it both gives you a 1 hit shield that's extremely easy to recover and throws out extra lives like candy. The bit throw is a nice mechanic. For difficulty reference: The 1CC achievement has an almost 60% unlock rate!

Plays sorta like a cross between Biometal and Graze Counter with Axelay/Gradius style level design. Compared to Graze Counter I don't like the soundtrack or characters or overall whole package as much really but it's still a solid shump on its own merits (it's a high bar)

not only it is rare to see a good shmup in 2026, but it has coop too. a fun simple gradius-like but with the graze mechanic. 8 ships to unlock with a bunch of weapons to change out.

good: novel takes on a lot of classic concepts which results in a new and fun shmup experience. nice ships, good music, fun levels and a lot of easter eggs to remind shmups of the past bad: a lot of the music from older games is copy/pasted into this [the entire mission mode]. Makes the game feel stale if you played a lot of graze counter for instance. Also, game doesn't tell you that there are ships to unlock or how to do it. A visual indicator of some kind would have gone a long way to give me a reason to keep playing nitpicks: i personally felt the weapon balancing is off. The spinner is stronger than anything else in your kit so you have no choice but to use it heavily. This is especially true when it comes to scoring- if you're into that. In actual use the spinner feels a little janky. If you don't hold the button long enough it might not shoot out, or maybe it will shoot out in the wrong direction. I understand that this can be a skill issue but when it comes to core gameplay mechanics, if they don't feel intuitive and flow easily, then it wont feel right. I think the way the spinner works actually hurts the flow of the game, since you gotta stop to use it or p…

Unique shmup the doesn't have power ups on the stages. Great variety of enemies to fight, well designed stages, and fun boss fights! There's a lot of content too and playable characters. Great ship customization too! Fantastic game, good job Bikkuri Software! 8/10
