Super Retro Fighter

All the ships are unique with their own bomb and charge bomb moves. They have distinct weapons and build up shot move. Each ship has two main shot types and a rear attack ability. Escorts add in other weapons too. Great music and sound effects. Very good art and visual effects especially for a 2D shmup. My friend and I will have a great time in this one. I'll update this review once I've had a chance to play this with him. Worth the price. Update 4/15/2021 I have played through 2 thirds of the game with my friend. Remember when the going gets tough there is a level up system. You restart each level with base level gear and no escorts but using the reinforce menu and the points you earn from completing a mission you can increase your starting ship count, weapon damage, escort damage, and bombs. It's a fun shmup, it can get tough with a stock ship. We didn't figure out the reinforce menu for a long time so it was tough to beat some of the levels.

Controller Support Sucks!! Looks promising though! But I dont like using a keyboard to play shmups

If u looked for a schyzophrenic review, here is one for u! Super Retro Fighter looks your average shmup, but IT IS NOT. Visuals: + The visuals are gorgeous, its a real eye candy, the glowing atmosphere of the game is just pure nostalgic arcade experience, with vivid colors, and a clean display. The bullets, enemies are clearly visible, the explosions are the best ive seen in a shmup, the popcorn effects are satisfying. - Right now, the game lacks real backgrounds, they just black screens with some whit dots. Boring. Hope, they will improve on this. Gameplay: There is an arcade mode, which... playes like an arcade mode with 8 very long - impossible - stages. So - there is the Adventure mode to go. Its a rougelike game loop, u have some lives, u lose them, its game over, u can start the WHOLE GAME from start. U can earn a few red crystals, which can be used to afford permanent starting equipment - unlock more life, more bombs, and damage power BUT its limited to 5 (and if u d...

Really fun game. It has an 80's retro vibe to the music which is pretty awesome. There is 3 ships to choose from and each one is unique for different guns to accomodate different playstyles. Some stages that can get pretty frustrating but at least you can stage select to retry same stage as often as you want. Also, there is a system to make your ship stronger , buy more lives, etc. Controls: It feels responsive using a gamepad. I use a Dual Shock 4 wired with USB cable and game recognizes at a PS4 controller. Content: There is currently only 1 game mode but it does allow for local coop and about 14 stages or so with more modes planned. I think online coop mode to play with long distance friends would be a good addition. Only issue I ran into was language. First time you boot it up it brings up a menu to select English or Chinese, even though I choose english it was still in the Chinese. You can still change to English in game but you have to navigate the chinese option menus to...

Yet another fun shoot'em up apparently abandoned by developers. Last update was in 2022.

yes i recommend this shooter. honestly for me top down shooter is not my main favorite but this is one of the best shooter i've ever played. HOWEVER, theres a minor mistake from the dev that almost makes me not reccomend it, it was BECAUSE THE MENU SCREEN CANNOT BE ACCESSED ANYTIME. here is the story: i was almost stuck forever in this complicated moment: i played it with my daughter in adventure mode, and we left it on the notification that we both get extra jet as stage reward. NOTE: i played as PLAYER1 using keyboard and my daughter AS PLAYER2 using joystick. then...... when we got back and want to continue the game, it was stuck! because the default setting put joystick as player 1! (i set it to player2 before) so what was happening is: we cannot skip the notification to progress the game because it required player2 to press A button! and we also cannot configure the controller button because to open the menu we need to skip that notification first!!!! we even cannot delete auto...

Top notch sprite work for a game of this kind. Fun gameplay and multiple choices that affect ship upgrades and resources in adventure mode. In-game waifu hubs are always a charming bonus. Ost's are real bangers, especially stage 1

Catchy music, satisfying gameplay and roguelite elements. I dig it a bunch. There are different characters so you get a bit of variety and you always have access to both a spread shot and a single-target shot without upgrades, meaning you get to the fun part of the SHMUP from the first step onward. The price is perfect, the art is great, the gameplay is flexible enough to appeal to the style of game you want to play and if you were looking at this game to begin with you probably should've already bought it.

polished retro shooter with a killer soundtrack, only issue is i want more tracks lol. Its been about 2 years with no word from the devs, this game may never see a 1.0 release or any other updates for that matter so if your fine with that then i still recommend this game.

Whoa! If you like shootemups this game has a lot going for it. It's a vertical space shooter with pretty cool retro graphics, a kicking soundtrack and a neat weapon powerup upgrade system. A word of advise though, turn the voice volume down some because it can scream pretty loud sometimes. Other than that, this game I highly recommend. It's kind of addictive.
