✦ AI summary

Truxton is a classic arcade bullet-hell shooter that players praise as one of the best in its genre, with the Steam port offering helpful features like a rewind function and decent achievements that aid learning. Some players note minor audio quirks in this port, and the game's difficulty is genuinely challenging rather than unfairly designed, making it best suited for those willing to invest time in mastering its mechanics. Most reviewers who gave it a fair chance found it engaging and worth experiencing, particularly for fans of arcade shooters.

Unfair bullet-hell fluff designed to bilk impressionable children out of quarters with unwinnable scenarios and wonky controls.

Decent port of Truxton. I did notice the audio can be a bit funky but it plays well and the rewind feature is really helpful in learning the game.

First ran into this with Evercade's Toaplan collection. The booklet that came with the cart had a bit of a weird story about one of the company member's story about another company member talking about the game Originally I bought the cart for Wing Zero... but I found love with Truxton. As it is an awesome game Decided to buy it again on Steam The Achievements on Steam are actually pretty decent for encouraging people to play the game Highly recommend this game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
