BLUE SABERS: Early Mission

Overview

Use conventional and three types of special weapons to overcome difficult situations.

Take control of the battlefield with support aircraft!

Long-established STG development team, Blue&White, the first new one in 13 years, and a new origin!

Story

More than a decade of warfare between the MUltinational COmpanys Community (MUCOC) and the International Unification Treaty Organization (IUTO) has left both sides exhausted and A stalemate had been reached.

To break the deadlock, the MUCOC fleet gathered its remaining forces and launched Operation Earth Descent.

Although the IUTOs were allowed to descend, they put up a desperate resistance to prevent the expansion of the front line.

However, there were not enough surplus forces, and the counter-offensive was left in the hands of a mish-mash of new recruits and reserve forces.

The name of the unit was the “Blue Sabres”.

Thus the battle later known as “Second MUCOC War” has began.

Gameplay

The main point of the game is how to make a way with powerful weapons and supply.

Break out of a difficult situation by mastering three types of special weapons, which are limited to normal armament and singular numbers.

Calling for your support aircraft, Garuda, allows you to refuel your special weapons and restore your ship’s shields.

The key to victory is the timing of calling the Garuda.

Features

A shmup with a unique supply system.
Dynamic camera work with 3D graphics added to the 2D shooting experience.
7 stages + Tutorial
6 ships + 2 support aircrafts
Gamepad supported.

Sky of Destruction

nice game, but it seems to be stuck in early access limbo. As is, it’s kind of good. get’s a little repetitive after a while. not a bad game, just kind of incomplete.

Update, no Updates. Bye.

I Like it so far, but there is more work to be done. The Game is updated frequently, this looks promising. The Gameplay might seem a little bit easy made, but the Hunt for Upgrades is it that binds me to Games.

Gimel Dimension

I bought this game with good hopes.

But sad to say, it was worse than I had expected. Sure the game is 0.79 cents, but that does not mean a game has to be bad.

The game has certainly some pros and cons.

The pros being that:

Playing with your mouse enhances movement big time, and a love that aspect.
The music is a 10/10.
The overall thought of design is cool: nice shapes etc.

Cons:

The graphics are so bad, that you can’t really see any of the bullets you are shooting.
9/10 times you cannot see what bullets are coming towards you, because the bullets or enemies match the background 100%.

Raid on the Zone

Been playing this a couple of times now, and I’m very fond of it being so close to the original Raid on Bungeling Bay, even though it has been enhanced with more intelligent AI, which also makes it a bigger challenge. I haven’t beaten it yet, but I’m going to! Lots of good gameplay and replayability. Recommending this for everyone who likes to shoot stuff and have fun!

I really enjoyed this game as it resembles the old Raid on Bungeling Bay, which I have enjyoed a lot as a kid. The game is hard but loads of fun! :) Highly recommended for anyone with a trigger finger.

Deadlokk

Sooo 0 players online and no devs or testers playing on release day or any announcements… I’m out. Feedback before I go

Yeah so assuming this isn’t vaporware or an elaborate ruse to get someone’s computer to mine cryptocurrency, here are my thoughts:

1. You need weapon upgrades that are actually, well, upgrades. Each ship you can purchase from the carrier is nearly perfectly optimized from what I can tell unless you go to the expensive shop in the middle. Give the carrier some weapon upgrades that are actually better than what is on the starting ships you buy.
