Astral Gunners

This game is an amazing piece of work! From music I would listen to outside of the game to the beautiful design, it makes the gameplay even better! A good amount of playability with the different characters and levels and playing Local co-op with a friend is super fun using different ability combos to overcome the variety of bosses! 10/10 game and I look forward to seeing more from the developers in the future!

Astral Gunners is a great little SHMUP. This game was fun and easy to get into even on easy mode. You can earn additional continues by clearing certain levels and earning achievements which makes taking on the harder difficulties or learning new characters more forgiving. The different characters are fun to mess around with and offer a lot of different abilities that make it fun to play through the game multiple times. Add in a great soundtrack and some polished art work and it's a great little package. I'm excited to see what the full release will look like.

I cant believe how much content and mechanics is packed into this absolute BANGER SHMUP. you OWE it to yourself to BUY THIS. DO IT NOW. ITS AWESOME!!

A great bullethell with interesting enemies, bosses, cool looking projectiles and crazy patterns topped off with a nice soundtrack. I also like that each robot you control has it's own unique shooting mechanic. Looking forward to seeing what updates the developers will add to this already enjoyable game.

Pretty good shmup the music alone is fantastic

Amazing bullet hell hori. Scoreplay is so fun I've basically only seen 3 levels, too busy finding new high risk scoring strats to worry about clearing. Always a good sign. This game is overflowing with personality, from player characters to boss design. Comfortably play with a more or less standard setup like Blue, or challenge yourself to get technical and go for crazy scores with Green. Into melee attacks? You want Purple. Try them all, find which suits you. The graphics in motion are beautiful. Soundtrack rocks, stages are unique, bullet patterns are dense but easy to see. There looks to be a fairly engaging story as well, if you're into that kinda thing. Tons of attention to detail, such as the moving backgrounds of the character select images. Another reviewer mentioned mega man, I could totally see these little robot dudes teaming up with him in a saturday morning cartoon. Ok, off to chase S++ ranks.

This is a shmup, so let's get to what matters: -game is VERY fun to play, and the level/route choices, different characters, and the way they impact scoring means it's very fun to replay as well -the training/practice options are basically as robust as possible, and from what i've seen, it seems like you can practice basically any segment of any level/boss you want to, immediately and with no bullshit/waiting. it's going to make going for really high scoring runs much more comfortable -music is fantastic. if you're a fan of tony macalpine or joe satriani (or akai katana's ost), you are gonna be in heaven -it would take me too long to get into the particulars of all the mechanics/how scoring works, (also i'm still unpacking it myself), but suffice to say that there's something here for everyone. there's even mini-caravan sections in the levels based on how quickly you clear waves, with evasive enemies that increase in value if you kill them consecutively without them escaping. you...

This game's lots of fun - i'm gonna keep it simple with, you get unlockable characters, unlockable power-ups that change the way the game plays. If you find the game easy then play it on a harder mode, if that's still simple then try a power up to change the game play. For example you have a few unlockable slow down options that slow down the bullets if they get near you, which is good to position the bullets for better score. You have another slow down power-up to give the game the "cave slowdown" feel. I stream this game regularly on https://www.twitch.tv/brianreboot so if you're wondering how the game looks please take a look.

After playing the game for the first time on stream i loved it, The music is pronominal, the unique characters are very interesting and support all types of players, the level design is great and i love the background for each one. i only stumbled upon 2 bugs throughout the main game and the training mode, -First one was when i had beaten the first stage and went to the second one there was no audio a all including sound effects. I made sure it wasent just on my end and it was the game but just a simple restart of the game fixed the issue. -Second bug was when i was messing around in the training mode it had suddenly stopped responding to any of my inputs and the game crashed. All bugs were on stream and i can give you the exact timestamp if you would like to investigate on what happened from my perspective. A twitter dm would be the easiest way to get a hold of me if you need to, @KulozoR6

I really enjoyed this game - so much so I nearly missed a flight to go on holiday trying to get the easy 1cc. It's scoring system is that compelling! The gameplay is tight, engaging, and fun - exactly what I want in a shmup. The scoring doesn't seem overly complicated, but I have barely scratched the surface of that as it is quite deep. The graphical style and presentation is good and works well with the gameplay, story and music - it's the cohesiveness of the parts that adds the cherry on top in my opinion. Nothing sticks out of place, everything seems perfectly arranged and thought through. This makes it a joy to play and I can't wait to spend more time with this game!
