月之泪 ~ Tears of Luna

月之泪 ~ Tears of Luna

Story

Thousands of years ago, the phenomenon of “Tears of Luna” occurred, countless monsters flocked to the earth, the world was destroyed,

This incident is also known as the “Sorceress Destroying the World”. Now that a new crisis has emerged, will the tragedy of the destruction continue?

The game draws on part of the world view setting of the RPG game “Final Fantasy 8”

Features

Danmaku+Arcade style STG, while avoiding the barrage, destroy the enemy aircraft as soon as possible to form a “bullet-storm-elimination” otherwise it will not survive

Scoring method:

1.Destroy enemy aircraft and bosses to get points

2.The number of all enemy aircraft destroyed in each level is counted in the Combo, and it becomes a score at the settlement of each level

3.Destroy the enemy aircraft to form “bullet-storm-elimination”, which will turn the barrage around the enemy aircraft into points

4.Grazing counts as points

5.The remaining time of the boss battle is counts as points

6.Reward for “1UP” every 10 million score

Special Thanks

1. Use the “魔王魂” music material(maoudamashii)

2. used the free (commercially available) materials (approximately 2-3 photos) on Pixiv. The source is too old and I have forgotten the source. apologize to the author -_-!

Control

Gamepad:

Arrow key(direction):Control the character to move up and down

X: confirm/shoot (confirm/shoot)

A: speed down

R: magic

Keyboard:

WSAD: Control the character to move up and down, left and right

J: Confirm/shoot (confirm/shoot)

K: speed down

R: magic

Attention

1. During the boss battle, the mobs are not counted in the Combo

2. The first type of magic (shield) can negate the beam attack

3. The closer you are to the monster, the higher the shooting power (especially shot bullets, cluster bullets seem not obvious)

4. Because of the preference for the Arcade mode, the “processing drop” effect is reproduced

5. Others to be added

Aggressor

Aggressor

Alright, over the past few weeks i fell in love with this game, and here is what i can say about it as quickly as possible.

Short version : Game is a fun, quick in and out dogfighting experience with a ton of potential !

Full opinion :

This game is both exciting and filled with potential.

Similiar to other reviews on this game i must agree that the game is in early access and so a lot of things are missing (duh)

Yet even over that fact this game provides a fun and quick experience for the times when youre just kinda bored and need a quick game to play.

This game lacks polish but is quite a lot of fun. For a cold war air combat junkie it features all the planes you could want. It’s can be rather immersive sometimes.

This game feels gritty and fun if you like air combat. The first thing you will notice is the art style, being snappy and simple.

I love the damage model and the way flashes and sparks will fly off of planes being hit, I can tell some research was put in looking at real life gun camera footage.

The maps are extremely simplistic, but with all the dogfighting going on I found I didnt notice too much. The game itself is incredibly small so startup time is very quick.

Titan Attacks!

Titan Attacks!

Absolutely glorious remaster of the classic Space Invaders game. Innovative, advanced, and scores of fun to be had.

When aliens living on Titan, Saturn’s moon, decide to attack, they lay waste to Earth’s military forces. Well most of it. You are the last remaining Tank Commander on Earth, and you are one bad mofo. Battle your way across Earth to stop the invasion, and then you take it to the skies as you hit the Titans’ outpost on the Moon, and obliterate it. Next stop, the Titans' Martian colony. They wiped out all the little green men also and need to pay. After Mars, you find yourself on Saturn, and the enemy forces are strong. But not as strong as when you reach Titan itself, taking on the nest of the alien scourge to nearly end our way of life… and the poor Martians.

Titan Attacks! is a retro, arcade, 2-D shooter where the nameless Commander fends off the Titan invasion with his trusty pixelated tank.

The game commences on Earth then progresses to new zones. Zone progression occurs when its boss is defeated. There are a total of five zones, each containing twenty levels, with their own unique design. Once all five have been defeated, it loops back to Earth, albeit with a slightly higher difficulty.

The game mechanics are fairly straightforward; aim & kill. Fortunately, that doesn’t do Titan Attacks! the justice it deserves. The mechanics conspire in such a way to exude a simple & fun experience. There are a number of boosts & improvements that can be purchased between levels to mitigate your success. For example, there are powerful area-of-effect bombs, weapon add-ons, additional shielding & more. Currency is derived from killing enemies & also capturing them. Capturing enemies adds a unique dimension to some situations, as doing so can be lethally dangerous, but extremely profitable. The Titans have a wide arsenal of ships & weapons that change in function & attitude from zone to zone, which can easily lead to your undoing if not cautious. There are bonus rounds that gauge your accuracy & reward you accordingly so keep nimble. These rounds occur between levels, after every seventh level.

Aces of the Luftwaffe - Squadron

Aces of the Luftwaffe - Squadron

Not z good Shmup.

  • Long loading times

  • The action is hindered by text overlay at times

  • The zoom in zoom out effect adds nothing to gameplay but interfere with the action

  • The whole squadron thing is more a nuisance than anything else4

  • Grindy, you’ll eventually get all upgrade

The first AotL was better as a simple SHMUP, this one is boring

Real player with 39.9 hrs in game

Very fun game. My only complaint is that sometimes with all of the firepower from you and your squadron as well as boss fire, it can be a bit hard to see where you are sometimes. Overall, the challenge is fair in most cases, the voice acting is entertaining and I appreciate how the story looks at both sides of the conflict with the DLC added. I hope to see more in this series!

Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!

Chuhou Joutai 2: Paraided!

I’m not familiar with Touhou games but I can see most of the stage and boss designs are reminiscent of them. Arcade difficulty gets ridiculous past stage 6.

A very charming game if and only if you’re into Touhou shooters.

Jamestown

Jamestown

First off, if you are interested in this game, I recommend getting Jamestown+ instead. It has two more stages and more ships.

Jamestown is a shmup with its stages primarily designed around co-op gameplay. However, enemy HP does scale so that enemies don’t become sponges if played solo. More about solo gameplay on higher difficulties later.

Jamestown doesn’t provide you with a bomb mechanic. Instead it has a hyper-like mechanic called vaunt. It will greatly increase dealt damage and create a shield which absorbs bullets upon activation. The duration of the vaunt can be increased by collecting the golden items. If it runs out, you’ll gain a significant amount of score, especially after a long vaunt. Cancelling the vaunt manually will provide you with brief invincibility and only provide you with a fraction of the score you’d get otherwise.

BETTER BUCKLE INTO YOUR SPACESHIP BECAUSE WE’VE GOT ALIEN SPANIARDS TO KILL

IF YOU’VE PLAYED ANY SORT OF SHOOT-EM-UP BEFORE THEN YOU’LL PROBABLY ALREADY KNOW HOW THIS GOES DOWN BUT I SWEAR TO THE ALMIGHTY EMPRAH HIMSELF IF YOU PASS THIS UP BECAUSE OF THAT I WILL PERSONALLY COME TO YOUR HOUSE AND TAKE A MASSIVE DUMP ON YOUR FRONT LAWN

Tragedy of Prince Rupert

Tragedy of Prince Rupert

I love this game. I like the look of it, and the soothing music, and the difficulty curve…everything is fantastic. I already bought it for one friend, and I’ll probably buy it a few more times in the near future to give to other friends as gifts. Go get Tragedy of Prince Rupert, for yourself; you won’t regret it.

EDIT: I said that the extra crew members were just cosmetic. Well, after reading a post from developer, those actually have an impact on the gameplay (they give you more HP, slow enemy bullets, etc.). But them again how can you blame me for thinking those were just cosmetic, if the game doesn’t give you ANY information?

When you first start up this game, it feels like just another Twin Stick shooter with unique art style. But actually it’s got more depth than most Twin Sticks I’ve played. You play as Prince Rupert, who’s flying a Montgolfière, that has the fastest shooting cannon in the world. You’re on your quest to prove yourself to be worthy groom for some princess and everybody else who wants to marry her is after you. And your balloon is capable of flying into space and dive 20 000 leagues under the sea. That in itself is the most awesome concept for a game I’ve seen in a while.
