About Wings Of Bluestar

✦ AI summary

Wings Of Bluestar is a hand-painted horizontal shoot'em up where you pilot enhanced fighters against waves of hostile AI that once fought alongside humanity, uncovering the mystery behind the conflict through a branching story mode. This modern shmup hybrid blends classic arcade shooting with bullet-hell intensity, featuring two distinct ships with unique playstyles, boss rush modes, and story choices that lead to multiple endings.


Protect space against the last wave of an enemy that used to be mankind's ally: a mysterious intelligent artificial life form. Take control of enhanced trainee pilot Aya, or the mysterious veteran pilot Zarak and fight your way through waves of enemies in order to save mankind and to learn more about yourself and also about your enemy.

Wings Of Bluestar is a horizontal hand painted and frame by frame animated HD game, no photobashing, 3D nor pre-rendered assets are used. Every asset is hand crafted and detailed by the same artist, which gives the game its visual integrity.



Wings Of Bluestar is a shoot'em up game that takes the solid gameplay of horizontal arcade shmups and modernizes it for modern PC and consoles use. The game achieves this by adding a lot of features like HD graphics, trophies, a deep story mode that, under certain circumstances, offers dialog choices and therefore multiple endings, gamepads, keyboard and arcade stick support, a shop to unlock artworks, extra credits, sound test, extra game modes and more.


Gameplay-wise, the player has access to two ships (characters), each with its own control, weapon upgrades and scoring system. They also vary in speed, protection and fire power, so each player can find their own style.

Wings Of Bluestar is a hybrid between classic shoot'em ups and "bullet hells" (Danmaku's), so everyone can have their fun.
Despite the game being horizontal, it also has a lot of vertical scrolling as well, to add to the action.

In addition the essential modes like Arcade, local multiplayer, boss rush and training, Wings Of Bluestar adds an extra story mode, for players who want to get more into the story.
The Story Mode is played like short Visual Novel phases between stages. In those phases, the player will have to make dialog choices. And if some conditions are met, it can influence the story and lead to different endings.

  • Single and local two players.
  • Gamepad (Xbox 360, Xbox One, Dualshock 4), arcade stick and keyboard support, with a button mapping option.
  • HD 2D hand painted visuals.
  • Each ship has its own play style, weapon upgrade and scoring system.
  • Hi-scoring system involves a risk vs reward approach.
  • Huge bosses with varied attack patterns.
  • 8 stages.
  • A story mode in the style of a visual novel game that plays between stage/missions and, if certain conditions are met, offers dialog choices leading to different endings.
  • In-game shop using in-game currency to unlock extra features.
  • A gallery, featuring original artwork, concept art, and fanarts to unlock.
  • A Boss Rush mode that lets you fight against bosses under a timer.
  • Steam Trophies.

Wing of Bluestar is a beautiful and challenging shoot ’em up that perfectly blends classic arcade action with modern design. Tight controls, stunning pixel art, great music, and an unexpectedly deep story make it a must-play for fans of the genre. Highly recommended!

The game is alright, the movement is not smooth but incremental which is not a good thing but overall it is still playable and comfy you just have to get used to it but the first hands on feels unfair. Like if you try to make the smallest move you will see you ship jumping a large amount of pixels. Wings of Bluestar definitely has some charm of its own though, it looks and sounds good, it has a candid look, the background is handpainted so the game has a soft feel i appreciate. Yes the game is relatively hard on its own but for a SHMUP it is alright. Given the price on discount yes I recommend, if you look at the achievements page you will see that not a lot of people have actually played it more than 3 hours but that's the norm for SHMUPS which are by default a genre base on challenging the player without making any concessions. 7/10 not the best but has its own charm you might like more than you'd expect if you decide to take the challenge, it is doable if you put the time it deserves to respect the challenge then it is a really nice game, it really depends how you approach it.

Too hard to tell where you are at. The colors blend in with your ship and I cant tell where I am at. Would not recommend

I just started it and it looks good. I'll put more time into it later, especially the story mode, which is visual novel phases between stages, pretty neat. The game is old, but still has some bugs, like the pause menu not working. I hope the dev takes some time to fix that.
