I enjoy being able to have a second account on my PC to really get to go through the entire early game, it’s pretty fun especially since I know basically all the tips and tricks beforehand lol. But to newcomers, this game can be very confusing with descriptions in some places or some things may not entirely make sense so I HIGHLY recommend joining the Discord server to be able to ask any questions to us (I am Fwuffy Doge). :3

Works as advertised - a surprisingly deep and fun game to just run on the side while doing other stuff. And then you get a new ship and you don’t even realize it took your full attention for an hour. So many details to optimize:
-Raw Damage
-Number of projectiles
-Bullet trajectory
-AOE
-Piercing
-Bouncing
-Critical chance
-More I’m forgetting
And that’s on top of the maze you have to create in each ship to get from the projectile generator over to the gun points. Good stuff.
Admittedly, the UI definitely needs some work. The game itself is almost a puzzle that you unlock as well as you get further, the captains, the endless missions, the random new weapon slot you forgot you can unlock by scrolling down more.

Space Elite Force II
I played the first one and had a lot of fun. This took everything I loved about the first (the power up system, full controller support, and fast paced shooter action) and just amped it and made it even smoother. The levels are less repetitive and the enemy patterns smarter. The garage system comes up after death rather than only after level complete so you can get through levels usually right away. The whole experience is just more fun and is a great addition to any game library! :3

Had a lot of fun with this one…it’s familiar territory once again but that’s a good thing.
Graphics are nicely done, a cool rock/electronic soundtrack, lots of good upgrades and achievements, leaderboards for all modes, co-op, extra modes like boss rush and arcade kept me coming back for more. I liked the smaller enclosed levels too (SO glad you don’t take damage if you hit a wall here too).
There’s a few things I’d like to see in future games in the series…more upgrades, larger/longer campaign, more fun achievements, levels where the whole thing is a boss, (like level 3 from R-type), trading cards, more varied bosses, this game has some enclosed levels which were fun and I’d like to see more of those too.

Space Elite Force
Summary:
(longer version below)
Space Elite Force is a pretty neat and lite side-shooter, offering some builds/customization and a fair amount of gameplay. It doesn’t come without drawbacks, but they’re minor, so at the end of the day, depending how much you pay for it, you can get a pretty decent local co-op game without regretting it.

Reminescient of games like R-Type and Gradius, this shootem will bring back fond memories. It is a masterpiece and a game done right in this genre. It is 99 cents well spent. I would’ve gladly paid for $5 or more for it. Exceptional development.

1993 Space Machine
I confess I purchased this mainly for the nostalgia factor. After completing 1993:SM I can say the tagline “celebrating games like Gradius, R-Type and Life Force” is realistic but tends to underestimate some bullet hell elements that are present in game.
Bullet hell did indeed surface in year 1993 but was not a popular subgenre until the second half of the decade. What we have here, to summarize, is a mostly classic horizontal shooter, with occasional incursions in bullet hell territory - especially in some overcrowded passages where complex bullet geometries and bullet wave patterns tend to show up, challenging you to not only shoot but dodge, too. I’d say the classic/BH ratio is 80/20, but your mileage may vary.

1993 Space Machine is short, simple but very fun 2D side scrolling Shoot Em' Up. The game is easy to pick up and play - You guide your space ship through five stages in your mission to defeat the final boss.
That is not to say the game itself is easy. Stages rapidly increase in difficulty and you will soon find yourself fending off multiple enemies and stage hazards. There are two classes of ships to choose from - A small, nimble but weaker ship or a slower ship that can tank more damage and carry more weapons. Personally I prefered the former, they were just generally better at avoiding enemy projectiles and stage hazards. I would recommend trying both types of ships and seeing which you prefer.

Hellcraze
There’s no way to not mention the killer soundtrack, it really fits the game and is awesome to play while listening to it!
The game have 3 modes, Easy, Normal and Hellcraze(Hard?)
I went for Hellcraze as I think it’s probably how the game is suppose to be played, it’s hard but it’s really awesome, every map features new enemies with different behavior as you advance the game making it even harder!
The game is totally worth it, just the soundtrack of it is already worth the price, devs made a real good job here!

I have come here from the Demo, and after playing the full game for a bit, to say, awesome work man! I look forward to finishing it eventually! Beware world, Pixl the lord of raining bullets, has come to the depths of the ruined city! Demons stand no chance!
