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

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!

Danger Scavenger
Cautiously Recommend–Feels Very Much Unfinished
Stumbled upon this a few days back, wishlisted it and bought it today on a whim really digging the music and look the game has. Sometimes you strike out, sometimes you hit paydirt. This is paydirt, a diamond in the rough that after time can be awesome.
It’s VERY rough around the edges and definitely could use lots more polish but it’s highly addictive and the fun factor is very strong if you can get past the many nuances that hold this game back from being amazing.

Read More: Best Local Multiplayer Roguelike Games.
I’ve written a fairly neutral preview for this game on Gamer Escape, which you can find here: https://gamerescape.com/2020/06/29/preview-danger-scavenger/ . At that time, the game had just switched from being official release to Early Access to address the user feedback based on the mixed steam reivew score (At Gamer Escape we do not do scored reviews for Early Access games)
Within days, the devs for this game have already gone to work with their stated goal: Make the game more appealing to both the twin-stick shooter fans and the roguelike fans whom both had issues with how these mechanics were combined. They have added “Arcade Mode”, which removes the roguelike permadeath mechanics, but also in this mode, each character starts from a different tower, so you get more of a distinct experience with each character in this mode. While it kind of comes off as just a lowered difficulty setting, it does open the game up to a lot of people who find the punishing nature of the roguelike style more frustrating than fun.

Lazer Cops
Using a tether tied between you and your buddy is an interesting gameplay mechanic i havn’t seen before. Trying to coordinate with a friend (or two cars by yourself) can be challenging but you get the hang of it pretty quick. The levels introduce new senarios and mechanics at a nice pace to keep the game fresh. Enjoyed my playthrough of it.

I’m a fan of good coop games, and Lazer Cops fits the bill for me. There are quite a few games that claim to be coop that can really be played just as well single player, but Lazer Cops is not among them. The cool lazer tether mechanic in this game really favors having a buddy cop or two at your side, and the way it makes you work together can lead to some fun moments.
The game has a varity of different levels that give you the chance to explore the different ways in which the lazer tether mechanic can be used. Some of them are harder than others, but fortunately you can skip to any level within a zone at any time, so you aren’t blocked on the levels that don’t appeal to your playstyle.

Good fun local 2 man smash ur friends head in game :D

A very good game, it has got everything you want in a game like this. It’s free, and if paying I could be able to play alone, it would be nice and a way to make me pay the people that made this game. All I can say is thank you, developers, I’d deffinetly pay to play a game like this with some more content. A coop version would be cool too. Imagine playing with your friends and killing bosses in a game like this.
Try this game, it’s free, you don’t loose anything. In my profile I haven’t played much, but I’ve played in my friend’s account and the game has 11 maps and everyone with its own different aspects. It has got some more power ups, the only problem is that you can’t change the buttons of the actions.

Rival Megagun
Rival Megagun is a very frenetic shoot ‘em up, extremely competitive, and its particular features like firing “special attacks” directly to your opponent and becoming a boss to tear them apart in a direct engagement adds even more pepper to its already intensively competitive gameplay.
It is extremely fun when playing it against your friends, but if you don’t have friends nearby, its Arcade Mode is very enjoyable too, with each character having their own motives to “enter the contest”. The story of this single player mode is simple, as anyone would expect, but it is interesting enough to want me to know better each character involved.

This is a relatively mid-paced, simple chaining and dodging vs. shmup.
-
“Gear” shouldn’t have been introduced
-
Overall, a good introduction to this niche of this genre, but it might be wise to move on to harder games once you master this.
-
Grab it on sale, jump on the discord, ask for a few games.
Rival Megagun is a vs. Shmup. You are on one side of the screen, your opponent is on the other. You both shoot enemy ships and dodge bullets. If you can maintain a chain, you both build up energy and build up drones for your opponent to shoot down. Once your chain drops, the drones spawn, and your energy is banked. If your chain dropped because you got hit, you lose a bunch of that energy. The goal is to make sure your opponent gets hit twice. You have two useful tools at your disposal: you can charge up a shot which fires character-specific objects at your opponents screen, and the ability to transform into a mega gunship, spawning a boss that you control onto your opponent’s side.

Castle of Shikigami 2
✭✭✭✭✭
Shikigami no Shiro series has always been one of my favorites.
I’m glad to see the second part here on Steam. The gameplay is as good as the first game.
I hope that, in the near future, we get the third part as well.
Recommended to every player who enjoys bullet hell and cool characters.

Pixels Guide to Staying Dead
Pixels Guide to Staying Dead was featured on my youtube channel
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2175220772
and now onto the short review
//Description//
Pixels Guide to Staying Dead is a local top down shooter game with an interesting twist- you must bring your opponents to 0 HP. Use your math skills to determine how to do that.
//Graphics, Sound & Artstyle//
there isn’t much to say about the graphics as it seems like any other pixel type of game. Sound is nice and found myself humming the main theme.
