Super Galaxy Squadron EX Turbo

EDIT: I was able to get this game into a playable state by closing every other application whenever I ran the game. A little inconvenient but not too bad. Because of this, I have changed the review from negative to positive since the crashes were the only real gripe I had with the game. The original review is still included below. ------------------ This review would be positive, however it is bordering on being unplayable with consistent crashes within 10 minutes of booting the game up. Keep this in mind if you are considering buying this game. It seems that this issue is not universal, so you may end up luckier than me.

Outstanding, super fun, challenging yet forgiving. If you're new to STG this is a perfect fit.

Beautiful pixel art but frankly just quite not up there as a proper shoot em up. the levels meander with no defining features, the bullet patterns feel random and boring, the power ups probably matter for DPS but barely feel different, its best feature is a slowdown mechanic that actually feels like lagging your game down, it feels clunky but in a good way imo. it just lacks a certain je ne sais quois that makes the big boy shoot em ups *really* good, and if you've played any of those will will probably let you down, its still more than fully functional, inoffensive and has variety of ships and modes, so I would not be as harsh as to give it a bad score, but its honestly quite hard to recommend even for beginners of the genre, something much better would get you hooked more easily, get zeroranger.
