Awsome arcade classics, on rails shooters. Had the first one on mobile and glad they are both on steam now,but just a bit of a shame they have not been updated with better graphics or remastered.
But if you like arcade games and on rails shooters, then you should love this.
Oh, and the soundtrack is cool to. 😊

Gal*Gun: Double Peace
TL;DR
This game is sort of a retro arcade-style fast-paced on-rail shooter, except instead of using guns to shoot enemy soldiers on a battlefield, you’re using sex pheromones to shoot anime girls in an academy. Overall it’s a great game, and I really enjoy playing it.
Main Pros
- There’s a built-in “panic button” (normally bound to M) that you can press to pause the game and pull up a fake old school RPG game to fool friends or family members if they were to walk in to you being bombarded by lustful anime girls.

It’s not a great port: xbox gamepad prompts are everywhere (but mouse and keyboard are working, and in story-critical QTEs you’ll get proper mouse prompts) and there are unexplainable game crashes on some setups, but it is still fun and weird Japanese nonsense. You should buy it, if you are into shooting pheromones at school girls and female teachers trying to express their love to you.
You can call this game “a lewd Japanese nonsense”. It’s an on-rails shooter. Your character moves through the school and then SUDDENLY GIRLS! Thousands of them! And every one of them wants to become your girlfriend forever. You have no choice but to defend yourself. You must disarm them - you do it by shooting pheromones at your attackers. In the best traditions of on-rails shooters, girls are zone-sensitive targets, so it matters where you shoot your load. Disarmed girls will scream with ecstasy and fall on the ground in lewd funny possess. Apart from the standard shooting mechanics, you can see through girls’ clothes while zooming-in…and touch girls in doki-doki mode…and…and don’t judge me.

Gal*Gun Returns
The very first time I played this game, I still had a girlfriend. We were in a great spot back then. This is probably the only semi-lewd game I showed her. She thought it was funny and cute. Truth be told, I have fond memories of the opening song, as one of the very first times I made love to a real woman was during a non-so-well-thought-out playthrough. Those were carefree days of lazyness and lack of responsibility. Lovable moments of total void, filled with the simple joys of life. Time went by slowly, youth was in full bloom. What a great time to be alive and experience this little gem.

TL;DR Summary: 100% hard recommend. Fun, cute/sexy, and appropriately challenging. However, if you’re new to the Gal*Gun series, I recommend trying out Gal*Gun: Double Peace as your first game. If you already enjoyed Double Peace, I definitely recommend this prequel.
I’m going to write this review from my personal perspective of a GalGun addict who has 100% completed not only this game, but all of the others available here on Steam (Double Peace, 2, and VR), and pre-ordered the special edition without even thinking about it. Specifically, I will be comparing to Double Peace, for two reasons - first, both this game and Double Peace are true rail shooters, with very similar forced camera movement gameplay, whereas 2 and VR are stationary wave shooters where you have some control over the camera and when you proceed down the track. Perhaps more importantly though, the other reason is that I think Double Peace, as a sequel to the original console release of GalGun (which came out 10 years ago, and of which this game is a remaster), is a more interesting and robust game. So if you haven’t already played Double Peace, I suggest you start with it. Don’t get me wrong, Gal*Gun Returns is a great game on its own, and I definitely recommend it even to a new player, but Double Peace has more features and is currently cheaper, or essentially the same price for the Deluxe Edition add-on for all the costumes (which is totally worth the extra cost, BTW). So I’m going to assume you’ve played Double Peace, and base the rest of the review on how Returns differs.

Astrodogs
TL;DR : Never played a StarFox game, but this goofy, chill little dog game makes me want to.
What is this funny little dog shooty game?
Astrodogs is a 3D, forward moving, on-rails shooter with enough charm to change your attitude for the entire day. The game revolves around 8 or so small stages with unique aesthetics, designs, music, enemies and bosses. (My personal favourites are Barkstille and Barkadia.)
I’ve never played something like this before, is it difficult?
At first, yes. But if you keep at it, you’ll learn the levels, you’ll learn the 5 techniques you need to know (4 different “special” attacks and a bullet-time mechanic). The bosses all have a gimmick to them which at first, is SUPER annoying, because you’ll be tanking damage and dealing none, but you’ll figure it out and feel like even Einstein is no match for your superior intellect.

As a die hard fan of Star-Fox. There hasnt been any games to come out that capture the on rails space shooting magic. This game does! I love the levels, music, controls and overall humour. A real treat!

Necrowarp
NECROWARP
The entire galaxy has been corrupted by a mysterious, demoniac source of evil, which just spawned out of nowhere to screw everything up - and to be even more “classical”, regarding profound story twists and characters, it’s up to Space Marshal Major McMâsscré to kill everything on sight that might be part of this evil (or well, just everything on sight). Of course, engaging the enemy with his prototype fighter on his own, just assisted by his neurotic tactical AI and except some of his good old friends, who might join him for a COOP session to save the day.
THE GAME
So if you are looking for an epic scaled 80s Scifi/Cyberpunk action shoot’em’brawl opera, fully packed with tons of weapons and customization options, plenty of gore and carnage plus bad and naughty b-movie kind of humor, then this cranky little shooter might be something for you!
Instead of just avoiding bullets, like in other bullet hell shmups (Shoot’em ups), Necrowarp also comes up with a lot of (un)forgiving brawler rampage as well, like crushing enemies with your melee weapons or by pushing them around or into each other. Of course, just as an addition to the huge arsenal of classic long-range weapons the game still relies on! And to make it a bit more, well, sadistic and personal, you’re not only fighting soulless robots or drones all the time, but manned enemy vehicles, crammed with really bad gang members or soldiers (trust us; they have the wrong political attitude), zombies (of course), mutants and other funky space abominations to bring democracy upon.

PlanTechtor
I played an earlier demo at Seattle Indies Expo during PAX last year and it’s really cool to see how far it’s come. It’s also been fun to follow it’s development and read about the story on how the dev got here.
As for the game, it’s really polished and clean and plays well. The graphics aren’t the most detailed but the cartoon-style look works well for the game and makes it easy to focus on things like the level layout and which enemies you’re facing. The controls are simple and intuitive and just work. I’m playing on Windows MR and haven’t had any issues, even with the bow which can sometimes be hit or miss. The gameplay is simple but has a lot of depth to discover as you go. There were levels that I lost badly (and quickly!) but was then immediately able to win after mixing up my boosts and strategy a bit on the next try. I also appreciate that the game does a good job of introducing you to everything bit by bit while still letting you play the game and keep having fun along the way.

In PlanTechTor you jump into the role of the Sole gate keeper to the Castle in an immersive VR fusion of in-depth strategy and high-octane action! You can design weapon load-outs with several different abilities and an endless amount of weapon combinations that effects the damage modifiers of each weapon. The game is simple in design but real deep in character. The graphics are clean and not demanding for smooth FPS. With rock solid gameplay mechanics and built in options like in game height adjustment so the whole family can play with out having to leave the game, to include multiple languages to cater to the masses. The developer left no stone upturned. I would recommend this game to anybody. Check out my quick look video right here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gNMlYKwzPN4&t=22s

Join a grand tournament and earn the title of the best archer there is!
Prove your superiority over other archers! Dominate every competition, use the wind to your advantage, and learn to shoot before your muscles tire.
Practice outside of official tournaments and hone your skills before a competition. Take the wind into account when choosing a faraway target. Learn to aim quickly, as your muscles will eventually tire out, making it increasingly difficult to aim. And if your target moves too quickly or is too far away - use your sharpened senses to temporarily make shooting easier and faster.
Sign up for increasingly prestigious tournaments in various different locations. Build your reputation by overcoming various challenges and outperforming your competition. Be ready for anything - only easy contests involve simple firing at a stationary target. Harder ones will require you to fire while moving, aim at a thrown target, or even play a melody by hitting different bells in quick succession.

Full disclosure - I was involved in early testing for this game. I can tell you the lead developer is really respoinsive and a joy to work with. That’s the reason this game keeps getting better, and is well worth the $$. Aside from that, this is an honest review for a really fun, must-have in my opinion, VR game that’s for everyone. I love dragons myself, like just about everyone that’s faithfully watched Game of Thrones, or any other similar story, the dragons are the best part. I had been looking for a dragon-riding game and this is one of the best.
