1943 Megami Strike

A simple shmup with card-based ships. The gameplay actually isn't that bad, but the game has no settings (besides volume controls), and is littered with microtransactions. This is clearly a phone game with minimal effort put forth to port this to PC. If it didn't have the microtransactions and was balanced around just playing the game, maybe it would be a better buy at around $5. Do yourself a favor and skip this.

The only POSITIVE about this "game" is that this is the EASIEST game to have a 100% achievement by having only ONE\1 achievement and that is for finishing the tutorial. Bottom line: You are paying £10 for a F2P Game designed around F2P mechanics that is also a direct port with no improvements from Mobile. Worst Shoot em Up game I have ever played(PC\ Mobile\ 90's Arcade). Long version: I like some basic Shoot em ups but THIS takes the cake for the worst one. I could not even enjoy the game. Also the actual refund period is less than 2 hours becuase of the game's idea to download updates WHILE the game is already playing(on a 3Mbps connection i DLed the additional files in 20 minutes) Then it needs to connect to the server which hanged and would not connect making me use already 1/4th of the time NOT playing the game . I would recommened even the cheapest Shoot em up on Steam (Revolution Ace) worth a few cents at sales than this. That game will actually make you WANT to pay more fo...

Sad to say, but I just can not recommend this game and I'd been looking forward to it since it was on Greenlight. For starters, this is a barebones port. No features for control customization or any kind of graphics settings. Second, the gameplay was bland for a shoot'em up. Auto-fire with mouse controlled movement is not very exciting. But the biggest problem I have with this title is pricing. Originally a Free 2 Play mobile title, the Steam version keeps the freeium cash store, but dares to ask 20 dollars for the game in additional to that. 1943 Megami Strike's Steam version should have been F2P or they should have reworked the system to remove the cash store or at the very least rebalance it to something less insulting. Simply put, disappointing. https://youtu.be/St1VGoSFecs

A very fun mix of Bullet Hell and Collectable Card Game, with some dating sim elements as well. As a card-collecting game, Megami Strike offers a large cast of character cards to get. Characters are nicely drawn, with their appearance ranging from cute to sexy to both. As for dating sim elements, however, sadly only a few of the game’s large cast are date-able, though those that are have over a dozen scenes for each of them, with a large number of scenes offering you dialogue choices. Bullet Hell aspect is top-notch: while early levels are easy enough, the later levels and bosses are quite challenging even with top-tier cards, especially since character’s level doesn’t prevent her from dying in one hit. But levels are quite short, and you can restart from the level you failed at, which makes Megami Strike overall less challenging than harder Bullet Hell games, that usually force you to complete half-dozen levels in succession. Megami Strike has microtransactions, which are app...

Doing everything right that War Thunder did wrong, 1943 Megami Strike is probably the best choice for Flight Sim enthusiasts on steam that are looking for a cheap (or possible F2P) title. Boasting a large selection of planes in all classes, from early WW2 F4F Wildcats, to B-17 Flying Fortress Bombers and even rare gems like the Bristol Brigand. Offering detailed simulation of every one of these aircrafts, from the nose mounted repeating turbo lasers of the A7M to the swarm of plasma-gun armed Drones used by the soviet Yak-3. This is the ultimative game for WW2 flight fans. If you're unsure, you can try the game for free on pretty much any mobile platform. I revised my review based on the constructive feedback from Circles. Thanks man.

wow.... i really didnt believe anything could be this bad..... had so much potential, yet an epic failure....

Absolute trash, no effort put in at all to bring this to PC, filled with constant mobile gaming annoyances, no controller support. Wouldn't recommend at 90% off, let alone the 75% off I paid. Refund requested.

WARNING: THIS GAME DOES NOT WORK ANYMORE AND HASN'T IN YEARS. Despite being a single player shmup the game needs to connect to a server to play, which has been down since 2020 if not earlier! Yet the game has been for sale all this time for $8.99. Shameful. This is literally a scam.

If you're an avid reader of Steam reviews, you've probably noticed that reviews of mobile ports can be unncessarily harsh. Sometimes, a game gets bashed simply for releasing for mobile first and despite the fact that the game doesn't really pull any dirty mobile shenanigans at all. Maybe it's missing a few options we'd like to see but it's overall fine and doesn't deserve a bashing, but still gets one. This is not one of those times. Megami Strike is a horrific mobile ripoff vehicle in every sense of the word. The gameplay is a typical Cave-inspired shmup with bullets flying everywhere, and the gimmick is that you have these random waifu trading cards that act as bonuses during gameplay. Like a mobile idle game, these waifus can be leveled up by sacrificing other waifus and, of course, by finding new ones through IAP purchases. That's what the DLC is for this game, you get 5 copies of the "Emma" card, for example, because you're supposed to use all of them up to level up some other ...

1943 Megami Strike is an incredibly poor mobile port. There are no options of any kind. The options menu does not exist. You cannot set your resolution, or the volume, or the controls, or mouse sensitivity, or even run the game fullscreen (save for using Alt + Enter.) There is no controller support, or keyboard support for moving your ship (you must use the mouse.) The interface is an absolute mess. The tutorial doesn't even begin to properly explain how to play the game, much less how to use secondary features like upgrading your cards. The game launches with half a dozen consecutive advertisements for the in-game shop, and every aspect of the game is tied to in-game purchases. If you want to know how bad the in-game purchases are, continues costs 75 cents USD, each. I am not even joking. When was the last time you saw a digital game charge you real money for continues? You could go to a physical arcade and play for cheaper than this game. The graphics are what you would expect from...
