About ALPHA

CONCEPT

Playing latest games is like work.

Getting together with friends, fighting bosses—that’s all cool, but having some time for yourself is pretty awesome too.
There are times we like to spend some time alone having fun, and taking on challenges in a game is an awesome way to do just that.

ALPHA, the latest work by KANAME, is a simple game. There are no additional in-game purchases: once it's yours, you can begin tackling it until you reach the end. Maybe it’s time to take a break from playing games for other people.

\
◎ A single-player action shooting game. Quite a challenging one, in fact.
◎ Average play time of 2 hours (or, if you like to spend more time, as long as you want)
◎ Knock off enemy bullets with your sword to shoot and slash your way through stages.
◎ No save points during stages. Enemies are tough, and so are the bosses. Study their moves and work around them.
◎ When it’s game over, you start over from the beginning of the stage. You won’t be getting it easy!
◎ Some health items, shields, bombs, etc. are just a few useful items.

It plays well, but there is not much else to it unless you want a simple reflex challenge. It's a top-down hack&slash with bullet hell elements where you have a little droid that auto-aims (kinda like Nier). Unfortunately, there are no upgrades or RPG elements, the goal is just to finish the stage with what you have. Your character has a one-button combo, dash, stamina for droid, and occasional bomb charges that clear the screen. At the time of this review, I only finished 2 stages, but I think there are only 3 in total, not including boss fights. Even though the game is challenging, I think the difficulty is fair because enemies have nice attack indicators. So far the boss fights have been very fun, each with multiple stages. The only criticism I have is in regards to music, the soundtrack is recycled on some of the stages, and so are most of the enemies, with a few new additions as you progress. I wish the dev would have added more mechanics to it, but for what it is, the price is fair. Also... Is that Yellow Flash?.... No it can't be....

[h1]Follow our curator for similar games[/h1] https://store.steampowered.com/curator/35180752-3-point-play/ Challenging + fun - short = Top down action bullet hell in robot themed world. No checkpoints, few heals, lots of bullets. You will die, die and die some more before you finish a stage. Dash n' slash.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.

Rust price: why the cheap keys vanished, and when to buy

The Rust price has two answers: an official one that barely moves, and a reseller one that sat in single digits for 95 days and then disappeared. Our record shows both.
