Crimsonland

Crimsonland

Crimsonland is a classic top-down twin-stick shooter. The game focuses on the important things of the genre like good controls and fluent gameplay even with massive amounts of enemies on the screen, and skips uninteresting things, like a Story.

### Controls:

And since we are at it, the controls are smooth and working precise at any given moment. I played the game with keyboard and mouse. I haven’t tried it with my controller yet.

### Technic:

In my whole time with the game I never had any stutters or fps drops. The game ran smoosh at any given time, even when the whole screen was filled with enemies and effects.

With a very fitting soundtrack, amazingly fun and big mix of weapons, perks and power-ups and the ability to speed the gameplay up by 1.5x creates an epic, fast-paced twin-stick gore-fest of a game that is extremely difficult to beat on the highest difficulty.

This game has received many updates throughout it’s release on Steam and I think the game is currently at a good state of balance.

Including many other changes, the biggest is that previously you could not use perks in the quest game mode, which you now can by enabling it from the options menu, which was a part of the original 2003 game.

Dark Gravity

Dark Gravity

Shoot, destroy, collect, craft and destroy even more! “Dark Gravity” is a fast-paced, low poly vertical shoot’em up game that features non-linear campaign mode with lots of enemies and bosses. Craft new weapons, upgrade your fighter and build an ultimate aerial war machine!

After the fifth world war, there was peace in the world. For over a decade, the Grand Alliance has been leading humanity towards a better tomorrow by stifling all dangers in the bud. For some time, however, there is suspicion of a new threat that cannot be ignored.

As a member of SAF forces, your mission is to take over the Shielton base, captured by unknown rebels. No one knows who they are and what they want. What’s worse, even IMC forces couldn’t drive them away from the base because of their advanced weaponry. Weaponry out of this world. But… are those rebels the main threat? Isn’t there anything bigger behind all this? No time for questions! You must stop them at all costs!

Gameplay mechanics are very simple - destroy all enemies and try to avoid every bullet… well, at least those which can be avoided. Your special maneuver allows you to dodge normal projectiles. Even if you get hit, you will only lose one extra weapon! However, watch out for powerful bosses! They can thorn you into pieces with their ultimate unavoidable attacks!

The story mode can be completed in a few various ways. Military operations are carried out on several fronts simultaneously. It’s up to you which path you will choose. From battles high in the sky, through military bases, underground factories, collapsed mines and abandoned laboratories, to secret Arctic research facilities and the interiors of unknown civilization artifacts - you must go through all of this several times to accomplish all missions.

Every difficulty level is different. Improving your skills and fighter will help you out at facing hard and insane mode bosses, as they don’t appear at easier levels. Enemy’s layouts will change as well as their shooting patterns. At higher difficulties, you will also meet enemies that you have not met before.

Collecting drop parts and blueprints throughout the missions will allow you to unlock and craft new fighters, weapons, and upgrades. However, remember that only playing at the highest levels of difficulty will allow you to achieve a pinnacle of technology. Uncover the crafting tree and develop unique power-ups!

Grand Theft Auto 2

Grand Theft Auto 2

This GTA is different due to the camera angle, it has more of a 2D feel to it. However the idea is the same, open world game where you steal cars, kill people and explore. The cities are like levels, you beat a city and then go to the next one. There are 3 of them and each city has 3 gangs. The thing is, you can’t travel from one city to another. Instead you gotta choose them from the menu. The way you beat them is a little different too. Instead of completing specific missions, or a number of missions, in this one you gotta reach a specific amount of money. The money system is a little bit different in this game as you get money from kills and vehicles destroyed. Missions will give you money too. So you got 2 options : Either join a gang and complete missions for them or destroy everything until you reach the amount of money needed. Be careful with gangs, respect is everything! The more you kill other gang members the more likely you will get attacked when you enter their area (kinda similar to San Andreas).

There are many bugs with this release. The audio is a major problem. Why is there an option to cheat directly on the main menu?? It completely ruins the purpose of the game. I beat it in under an hour because of that cheat button (because you can undo it, it give you unlimited money to purchase weapons, gear, etc.). The camera is off and doesn’t follow the character very well. The enemy designs look good and it can be a fun game, but its very short and has really no story line. Also, the subs are terrible, the English is so bad I have no idea what they are saying…Needs more work.

Shapeshooter

Shapeshooter

Introduction

From the developer of Polygoneer comes Shapeshooter. It’s a rail shooter, you can only move forward and backward over the rail tracks. Like in Polygoneer you have colored enemies which you destroy with bullets of the same color albeit limited to two colors. You can upgrade your tank in the workshop.

Gameplay

You control a tank which moves over a rail, you’ll find orange and purple enemies on your way and you shoot at them with bullets of their respective color. There are also level hazards to avoid like energy gates and circular saws, I expect more hazards to encounter in later levels. You have multiple weapons you can use although at the beginning you’re stuck with a slow weapon with unlimited ammo and a rapid weapon with limited ammo. When an enemy is destroyed they leave a ring you can collect and use to purchase upgrades in the workshop. Some enemies release ammo pickups which alternate between ammo for the different weapons. To gather what you want you have to time your pick up. You can either pick them up with your tank or by shooting at them.

I really wanted to like this game, I really did. I’ve greatly enjoyed several other games by the same developer, and had high hopes coming into this one. Sadly, after 8+ hours with it, I don’t believe I can comfortably recommend it (I really wish Steam offered star ratings akin to Yelp/Amazon/Google/etc., rather than simply a binary yes/no, as I’d probably give this something like 2-3 / 5).

Right off the bat, I had and still have a perplexing technical issue. On my previous crummy entry-level machine with like 4 GB of RAM and integrated graphics, all of Nuk Games' titles ran perfectly smoothly, with absolutely no issues. I recently acquired a new-to-me, gently used mid-level gaming PC, however, and now, suddenly, every single one of this developer’s titles that I own no longer has sound. None of the other titles in my library that I’ve tried on this “new” machine have this same issue. I’ve tried the obvious solutions, but the fact that this is the case with multiple titles from the same dev yet nothing else in my library seems suspiciously more than coincidental, and suggests the problem is not specifically my machine, per se.

Asteroids Millennium

Asteroids Millennium

ASTEROIDS MILLENNIUM takes everything that makes the classic ASTEROIDS so much fun and polishes the rough edges. The classic Hyperspace mechanic has been polished into something truly wonderful here. Also, in the original, you had to press a button for each attack shot and had a limit to that repetition before it would skip shooting a bit before continuing which created a unwelcome break in the steady repeatitive shooting. AM polished that and you can fire repeatedly without a skipping a shot. Pure Awesome.

Real player with 147.1 hrs in game

My actual recommendation is YES and NO

Pros:

If you’re looking for a way to veg out and still get to play then this one is for you

Cool remake of the original asteroids

Option of original mode or modern (advance weapons, shields, etc.)

Nifty backgrounds

Cons:

Some backgrounds are hard to see any objects against

The aim is not true center, rather off to one side making it harder to hit objects

hard to precisely aim at an object even if it is very near by

can’t come to a complete stop once you set the ship in motion via rockets, there’s always a drift

Sky Force Anniversary

Sky Force Anniversary

90 / 100

Sky Force Anniversary (SFA) is a prime example of how to do a proper shoot ‘em up! It’s not a super frantic, reflex driven, seizure inducing affair you find in some bullet hell shooters, rather it’s more subtle, focusing on precision & perfection.

This precision & perfection reminded me more of the older school shooters like 1942, where placement, timing & learning the waves were key. In SFA, it is implemented by several gameplay mechanics including medals for completing the level untouched & collecting 100% of the stars, or 100% civilian rescues. These offer a greater challenge than simply completing the level alive, & only when all challenges are complete will you be able to unlock the next difficulty tier (Normal, Hard, Insane). Each of the nine levels progressively unlocks as you earn more medals, with your high score being persistent between play throughs as a total of all your highest individual level scores.

I really don’t like this game, and I’m usually quite fond of a bit of arcade inspired shoot-em-up action. It’s not that the production quality is lacking in any way, as the whole thing is quite well put together in terms of design and basic gameplay. But I would much rather play a game like CounterAttack, Blue Revolver or Wolflame (just to name a few of the top of my head If I were to have a quick glance at my Steam library and maybe my wishlist I could probably name at least half a dozen titles which are superior in almost every aspect). All of which offer a much more fun, arcade like experience instead of the tedious ‘grind-fest’ that this title offers.

Bloom: Labyrinth

Bloom: Labyrinth

In its current state, I just can’t recommend it. The controls are very awkward and hard to use. It would benefit from a more fleshed out tutorial. Most of it is written in the journal, which would be really nice if it was easier to use. The screens we got from Memories looked really nice but in this game, some of the assets just feel… off, like they don’t fit the rest of the design style. The music is right up my alley though, and I’d love to hear more of it.

This is a smaller project they did to help fund the game that we actually backed in like 2013. The game was supposed to come out in 2015 but hit setbacks. They spent all the money and the team fell apart. At this point, it’s been so many years that you might as well give up and see it as money that just disappeared. Between this project and the whole Epic hijacking Kickstarter games, I’m unlikely to ever fund one again.
