EARTH DEFENSE FORCE 4.1 WINGDIVER THE SHOOTER
EDF 4.1: Wingdiver the Shooter is an excellent shmup for those not normally into the genre, as it’s far more lenient than most arcade styled shmups. This is largely due to forgoing ‘one-hit health’ and instead sticking to the mainline EDF health system; an ever increasing health-pool that gets larger the more ‘Armor’ boxes the player collects from killing enemies.
Similar to collecting ‘Armor’, new weapons can be acquired by collecting ‘Weapon’ boxes.
Those who have played EDF 4.1 will find the Wing Diver’s arsenal to be familiar, though with effects altered to fit the gameplay style. (Note: You won’t need to rely on double Idunn’s in this game) Weapon energy management is present here as well, meaning certain weapons can quickly drain your ‘Energy Meter’ and cause you to overheat for a few seconds, rendering you unable to fight.

TL;DR: A pretty good shmup, and a pretty good distraction from EDF 4.1 too. If you’re not a shmup or a EDF fan though, it’s not the best introduction to both of these by far. Buy EDF 4.1 and you’ll most likely want to buy this one (And there’s a bundle with both, how neat!)
EDF 4.1 WINGDIVER THE SHOOTER, as the name implies, is a shoot’em’up spin-off from the EDF series which features one of the class of EDF 4.1, the Wing Divers.
Being a shmup and EDF fan, I instantly wanted to play it and a friend gifted it to me.

Silicomrades
Grab your local friend or via Steam Remote Play, build your robots with unique abilities, and prepare yourself for shoot-up with evil robotic armies. All that while receiving (more or less) severe, enraging (or just funny) defects in 10+ original episodes, all packed with stunning hand-drawn visuals. Fall apart but do not fall back!
TWO ROBOT BUDDIES
Crawlbot and Jetbot are different in terms of playstyle and customization options, but they complement each other. Despite being from low-quality materials and prone to malfunctions.
BUILD THEM UP…
Assemble your very own robots from various bonus parts, choose more faulty parts to build a more powerful but more unstable robot. Get additional moving directions, bigger magazine or active reload ability.
…AND WATCH THEM FALL APART
All bonuses need to be balanced out with faulty parts in a unique “High risk - High reward” customization. Once your robot is damaged enough, it will start to malfunction. Be prepared for various defects such as friendly fire, nonstop movement, or reloading a random number of bullets.
VARIABLE HAND-DRAWN ENEMIES AND ENVIRONMENTS
Play through 7+ episodes, each consisting of three missions designed to be played in one sitting forming a short story. In every one of them, meet different enemies and experience variable beautiful environments, all created and animated by hand.
COMEDIC TOTALITY
We have chosen the most boring theme on the planet Earth, added robots, turned it upside down, and took it to an absurd extreme, thus forming the brand new genre of comedic totality. Your enemies are vicious, tireless, and armed with suitcases. They stop at nothing to reach their sinister goal. Except for the lunch break, there is no way they are going to miss that.
SEE YOU ON OUR DISCORD CHANNEL!
JOIN THE RESISTANCE NOW, BECOME A SILICOMRADE, AND HELP SAVE INNOCENT LOW-COST ROBOTS!
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.

Acceleration of SUGURI 2
I made the first review when I had about 20 hours of playtime in total. Now it’s… a little bit more, but still not 7k. Anyway, I now have rights to say everything I think about the game.
First, I want to start with singleplayer, which is not where you are supposed to spend a lot time. When you are a new player, it will be a perfect place to start learning. As for me, I think it offers pretty challenging battles with CPU, and also CPU can teach you some basic stuff like simple combos and movement. Do NOT ignore singleplayer if you have just started, be it story, arcade or match mode.

Right out of the gate:
As a casual game, I would highly recommend AoS2. It’s an extremely fun 1-versus-1 game that combines the best of the shoot em’ up genre and the fighting game genre for an explosive experience that no other game has replicated. But as a competitive game, I would not recommend AoS2. The metagame at a higher level is extremely unbalanced, both in character balance and in matchup dynamics, and gravitates towards defense and timeout to the point where not interacting with your opponent is the ideal.

Evasion
Excellent performance, medium lenght storyline (~4hs) excellent voice acting, audio and fun gameplay.
This game feels like it has great production value all around, the coop is very easy to host and join games (no mid level joining though)
I played this game a couple of times with my son in coop and its been a blast, the mechanics are simple, but they mix them up a bit to keep things interesting… As the enemies are robots, there is no blood and although violent, id say its family friendly.
BUT the game does feel a bit on the “simple” side, and does get a bit repetitive, in my opinion because you are forced to use the same weapon the whole level. (you choose before starting) The weapons are fun but would have loved the ability to mix it up mid level. and they are all similar, so there is no variation there.

Classic Halo-esque style combat! And it’s Co-op! Very easy to get into VR FPS shooter, think Halo meets Space Pirate Trainer. 9 Levels of Non-Stop Action that ramp up to a variety of different enemy types that require different strategies to defeat without dying (especially if you go at it alone during the last few levels!). Although the gameplay is simple, the player is rewarded for doing more than just point and shoot combat. You get health and surge/power ups by tactically using your whip to pull enemies apart. Kill them and miss a chance at a higher probability of getting a much needed health regeneration vial or that last yellow vial needed to release your powerful “Surge” attack and feel like an invulnerable bad-ass for a few moments. Took about 5 hours to complete alone, could probably finish it in 3 with a partner in Co-op mode. The only thing that could use work is adding the option to have controller directed movement, instead of only headset facing.

Get it, Hero!
Do you remember playing capture the flag in your childhood? Remember all the tension you had in midfield when someone was focused on you and you on him, seeing who was going to make the first move and get caught? and then someone would move, the entire enemy team would go after this brave hero who tried to make his tale, and that opened up a huge gap for you and your comrades to pass on the other side of the map. this guy got caught and you and your teammates, now that you had the flag in your hand, had the difficult task of tricking the other team into returning to your field, knowing that now the team would definitely focus on you holding the flag. I remember thinking how good it would be in those moments if I had the power of super speed, invisibility, or teleportation.

The best Chicken Invaders game from the franchise so far, though my favorite one is Chicken Inaders 4. This game brings unique things to the serie like chapters that take place on a planet, through various caves and water ravines. If you want to unlock all the achievements, I wish you good luck because there is an extremely hard achievement, you have to complete an entire mission without dying and it’s really hard. I almost unlocked this achievement, but I died in the last chapter, at the last levels.. but even if I got upset about that, I still recommend this game to everyone who wants to play it. Also, this is the first Chicken Invaders game where you can customize your spaceship and this is very cool. Enjoy blastin' those chickens!

Darius Cozmic Collection Arcade
Great port with one glaring omission: the lack of 4:3 resolution support. Running the game in full screen on my 4:3 monitor results in letterboxed 16:9, which causes two significant issues:
-
Darius Gaiden cannot be played in true fullscreen at its native aspect ratio. You can either play in stretched letterboxed 16:9, or in letterboxed-and-pillarboxed 4:3. No matter what, it won’t fill the screen.
-
Multi-monitor mode for the games that support it cannot be correctly lined up and scaled, because the “seams” of the screens don’t correspond with the monitor resolutions. Stretching the game past the internal boundaries of the game resolution just results in the image being cropped, even though there is screen space there; said screen space is just black. I presume this is also an issue on multi-monitor 16:9 displays.

EDIT: It’s been almost a week and nothing regarding possible issues is coming, kinda scared they aren’t saying anything about it, not recommending until they at least give words for the issues on the port (That is, if M2 stops reposting Senjin Aleste Fanart in their goddamn Twitter…)
The price is quite excessive if they don’t fix these issues (It’s 2021, these issues shouldn’t be there in the first place, no, “M2 is not experienced with PC, that’s why BASIC stuff happened” is not an excuse).
Not a perfect port, but it’s been less than 2 days since it was released.
