About Astrokicker

✦ AI summary

Astrokicker combines retro arcade shoot-em-up action with modern controls, letting you pilot your ship freely through asteroid fields and space mines while battling enemy starbases across stunning parallax-scrolling environments. Switch between classic 8-direction retro mode and fluid omnidirectional modern mode, leveraging strategic powerups and varied weapons to progress through a full story campaign.

Mixing old and new, Astrokicker is inspired by classic shootemups going back to the 80s, with a few twists. Pilot your ship in any direction, avoiding asteroids and steering well clear of space mines, as you use a variety of weapons and power ups to destroy the starbases controlling warpfields used to travel between the stars.

Key Features:

  • Story: Astrokicker features a full story, playing out without forcing the player to sit through cut scenes
  • Modern mode: In modern mode, you fly in any direction, ships are rendered in 3D with a detailed UI
  • Retro Mode: While in Retro mode, ships are limited to 8 directions and the graphics will bring back that hot 80s arcade action feel
  • Visuals: Beautiful parallax scrolling backgrounds in modern mode - we created 100 unique backgrounds for mouthwatering visuals
  • Powerups: The action can get intense, so selecting and using the various powerups can make the difference between victory and defeat
  • Control: Astrokicker makes full use of your gamepad, with quick selection of your powerups at your figertips

✦ AI summary

Astrokicker is a retro-inspired space shooter that players appreciate for its smooth gameplay and arcade aesthetic, particularly praising the retro mode over the modern mode's distracting visuals. The main criticisms center on limited content depth—with only five power-up types, no story, and a lack of varied gameplay elements like boss battles or progression mechanics—making players feel the current offering is sparse for the asking price.

This game is alright and I'd say an average space shooter. Your mission is to destroy all the star bases while also avoiding asteroids and enemy space ships. $10 USD seems a bit high for what the game seems to offer but that's only based on my first impressions of this game. I like the retro mode more then the modern mode, but that's because the background on the modern mode seems to distract from what's going on and also because I think your shots sound a lot more annoying and high pitched in the modern mode. There's five different types of power-ups that really just change your type of shots. I feel that there should be more to this game for a $10 price tag. Money to collect, more power-ups, boss battles perhaps? There's also no story and just doesn't feel like enough to compel me to play it very long. I'd also like to see your ship have a full 360 degree rotation vs the 8 directional movement seen in this game. It would make it far more fun to play. Adding flair like a trail you leave when thrusting might also add some pizzazz. Also, why does this game require a controller? This game could be easily programmed to use WASD and mouse button to fire, W to thrust, and A …

A fun little retro shooter that evokes a certain arcade space shooter. Runs smooth. Early access, so I'm expecting a bit of polish and it to improve over time. Still its a lot of fun now if you like old arcade games.

Game seems to require a controller. With a controller plugged in the game ran without any issues. I tried retro and modern, kinda dug the feel of retro mode. The difficulty increases by adding different mobs that do new stuff.. By level 12 or so it was starting to feel like Gungeon bullet hell. If you like older arcade shooters this might scratch an itch for you.

Just tried it on my Steam Deck and it works great. Fun little homage to Bosconian.
