What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise the fresh mechanical twist of using a shield to absorb and repel enemy fire, along with the retro aesthetic that successfully evokes classic arcade shooters like Galaga. However, complaints center on story mode forcing complete restarts upon death rather than checkpoint progression, poor keyboard control mapping that can't be customized, and an annoying menu soundtrack that detracts from the experience.
An exciting retro space shooter that brings a fresh look to the classic genre. We will have to fight waves of diverse enemies, but with one important feature: we start the game without ammunition, all of which creates a unique gameplay that will require strategy and creativity. Instead of relying on endless ammo, we will use our shield as our main weapon, to absorb the enemies' ammo and then destroy them with their own ammo. The game has a retro style and creates a nostalgic atmosphere, while the dynamic battles with cool enemies will require us to be attentive and quick to react. If you are looking for a game that combines nostalgia and innovation in gameplay, this game will be a great choice.2 found this helpful
I would recommend it if precise clicks are "your thing" and you like chasing the top score. + The mechanics and idea are very cool - you can pick up ammo and kill opponents with a shield + Leaderboards - you can compare yourself with others and make your name in history + Different weapons/shooting methods + Exciting story boss fights (if you reach them) - Story mode always starts from the very beginning when you die. You could start from the level you reached and have full lives. In addition, the story is built around getting a high score. It could be easier to complete and tell your own story. - The music in the main menu is very annoying. - Be sure to play with a controller because the keyboard buttons are very poorly placed and cannot be changed.1 found this helpful
An interesting take on a Galaga style game. Had a great time playing it and look forward to getting better at the controls. Had a fun time blowing up waves of enemy ships and trying to learn their patterns!
Being an old Galaga fan, I decided to give this a try. It is a good homage to the old shooter games while offering some fresh new weapons of it's own. As of writing this, I am a bit out of practice with my shooter skills but look forward to playing it more. Story Mode - I have only made it to the second level, but the story is simple with a beautifully illustrated intro. A game like this doesn't need a complex story and it provides all you need to know. Arcade Mode - The three different play style routes make it easy for you to jump in and have fun as you want. I like the randomness of the Endless Mode. The Trials are a great way to train up to defeat the Story Mode. While the Classic Mode takes me back to the feel of playing at the arcade. If you like old school style space shooter games, this game is for you. I look forward to playing this a lot more to get the achievements and to destress from my day.
Old game shooting, but i like it. Sometimes i mess up the control probably can edit it out to change key but so far its nice
Love the game , a solid 8/10
