This is a totally fun, unique, and addictive Schmup concept!

Absolutely hooked after my first 5 matches.

The cyberpunk aesthetic and music totally nails it too.

I’m always thinking about how badly we need more quality schmups so I’m really happy to say Star99 nicely scratches that itch.

Sine Mora EX

Sine Mora EX

What I can appreciate about Sine Mora is how the central plot element becomes the central game mechanic in a very fluid and innovative way. Sine Mora is a game about time control, and its central game mechanic is that you never lose health, but time. If you take damage, that’s time off the clock. If you kill enemies, that’s time added to the clock. You are essentially invincible, but lose powerups and the game if you ever get hurt enough times that you run out the clock. A clock that is always ticking down, but either gains or loses time as a penalty or reward in combat.

While it may be a unique take on the bullet hell formula, Sine Mora’s attempts at being its own thing put it at odds with the notion of being well balanced, and it ultimately ends up flawed to the point that it’s an active struggle to enjoy.

To start off by giving praise where it’s due, the game is gorgeous, the soundtrack is high-quality, the controls are mostly fluid, the story has some really cool twists, the boss design is fab, and the Hungarian voice acting is pretty dope (no idea about the English, as I switched to the original voice track from the get-go).

Alright, so you found this game in the Free Games section or maybe you came knowing it’s a new game by mighty XWILKINX. As a person who played the game since its very launch, first on the Web-version, then on the itch.io version, and then here, I’m here to reroute your journey elsewhere, as you most likely won’t find what you’re looking for - a game you can play and enjoy. This review is focused on multiplayer, as IMHO singleplayer is extremely boring.

Let’s start with the positives tho, as game actually sports a couple of them:

–-What you are initially reading was written before 1st prestige, further down (indicated by obvious line) are things added after the initial review and will likely be updated as my play time goes up—

Having played BRAIN/OUT, another 2D shooter very similar to this for countless hours, honestly I think this game is way better than B/O in a lot of ways. This game is what B/O could’ve been had it not been neglected and tried to be every single popular trend in the gaming industry to stay relevant. It really is a shame how B/O ended up in its current and most likely unrecoverable state. But enough of B/O’s current state. Lets look at the positives of WHY this game is B/O but IMO better.

Freon

Freon

Lucky me has the dubious honour of writing the first review for Freon.

Freon is a 2 player split screen retro pixel platformer brawler from serial asset/template flippers, wow wow Games, who do very little but dump GameMaker Studio and other game construction kit template flips onto Steam as nasty cash grabs.

In the case of Freon, I’m not sure where they ripped this off from but we should expect it’s another asset flip because of the terrible past history of this “developer”. It’s a basic 2D retro pixel brawler with a twist, it’s split screen local multiplayer. They call it “hotseat”, but that’s not how hot seat games work, so I guess they probably didn’t look too deep into the game template they ripped off before they did.

Attaboy!

Attaboy!

Great mix of realistic and fun flight physics

Many hours of tweaking the laws of physics gives the game an intuitive feeling while giving all the freedom for stunts and exciting dogfights!

Singleplayer campaign

Many missions to beat and then perfect! Beat your highscore and brag and challenge your friends to beat them.

Multiplayer modes

Take off and show your friends who’s the best pilot in the online multiplayer PvP mode.

So… this is a free game, and it starts out feeling ok. The basic gameplay isn’t a problem. The issues begin after playing for 15+ minutes and you realize that you’d like your player to die in case there is an upgrade to add variety to the overall gameplay. Well, the upgrades are ridiculously expensive and that means grinding for at least an hour or two before going for the cheapest of them… The overall experience is negative due to the lack of variety. I can’t suggest to anyone spending more than 15 minutes playing it.

Space Crisis

Space Crisis

I picked up all 12 of these Nacks Soft games. They are essentially just sprite swaps, so either wait for a 90% sale or pick up the bundle if it’s less than $10 so you are getting the content equivalent of a decently sized full game.

The difficulty curve of this one isn’t as well-designed as Accel Magician Mimi and it’s missing the 1P vs. 2P mode. It’s space-themed though. It’s a very soft recommend – a C-range, middling game.

Pick up if under $1 or if you get all 12 games for under $10.

Top Gang

Top Gang

Top Gang is a very chaotic platform game for up to 4 players cooperative. In Top Gang you have to eliminate all the enemies in the level to be able to advance at the same time you have to rescue the “Nuggets” and take them safely to the exit. Your friends can be a great help or a stumbling block because while the game is cooperative it is also competitive who can rescue more “Nuggets”?

Elemental advantages and disadvantages

Each character has their own element giving them advantages with their respective elements.

Use weapon recoil to your advantage

It is possible to escape situations or do some maneuvers using the weapon’s recoil.

History

The Nuggets are a peaceful and friendly race but also very tasty, tired of being captured all the time by the black mask gang they made a magical ritual that ended up going wrong and freeing the elemental ghosts that instead of helping them joined the gang of black mask. With no way out they went to the Top Gang firm to ask for help, Shack Joe being the leader of the company accepted the request and gathered his group to rescue the captured nuggets and destroy all the elemental ghosts.
