Is a great old school Shoot \u2019em up, new day called Shmup. I had that schort word Shmup.It has lovely desigend sprites and great old school Shoot \u2019em up music. It's great that you can buy the music from game.. Not a terribly difficult game on Normal mode at least, but it is a SHMUP that caters to those familiar with Irem's works in the late 80s and early 90's. Not too expensive, and worth the purchase for those that would like a hidden gem packaged in a similar light as Irem SHMUPs. The best way I can describe it is R-Type charging mechanic meets vertical screen format.. First I want to say that the game is a solid shoot'em up. It feels like a vertical R-Type with a late 8-bit\/early 16-bit feel to it. The gameplay feels like a good starting point for players who are just getting into the genre and don't want to have a wall of bullets thrown at their face. It also offers just enough difficulty in the later stages in normal mode to keep things interesting for novice players like myself. The hard difficulty is where players with a little more skill than myself will find their fun since normal mode is pretty much 1CC'able first time around for expert players. The music is also pretty darn good and really gives an older play like myself a warm and fuzzy sense of nostalgia when playing. The sound effects also sound like something straight from a classic shooter from the yester-years. Overall I think the sound and music for the game are spot on and go great with the aesthetics.Weapon variety in this game feels great and weapons don't feel thrown in just for the sake of choice. The play gets to choose from 3 charge attacks in the beginning. Each attack comes with pros. The Megashot, for example, stops your ship upon fire rather due to kickback, but grants you a huge damage boost. The weapon upgrades feel great and all have different damage levels along with utility that make certain situations more tolerable.The game is pretty bare when it comes to configurations. To put the game into TATE you have to set your monitor to landscape. This isn't a big issue, but people will find this annoying. The game also automatically scales to your current monitor resolution instead of allowing you to select it. The game itself runs fantastic. These are issues to be expected from a game made by a ridiculously small team with a micro budget. Overall this is a solid purchase for those looking to scratch that shmup itch.. I recommend Battle Crust for fans of shoot 'em ups and 90s arcade games. While it doesn't feel quite as polished as Picorinne Soft's more recent release "Infinios Gaiden", It is an enjoyable game. The gameplay is basic overall and definitely on the slower side of things when it comes to shoot 'em up games. That being said, I found the game to have an enjoyable level of challenge, and I would say that it looks easier than it actually is. The controls are tight and responsive, and the basic mechanics are enjoyable.The deaths always feel fair and the game makes me want to keep playing to try to get farther. The scoring is extremely straightforward, with no multipliers or gimmicks, just points for killing enemies. There are no bombs, and power ups consist of various colored weapon orbs that all give you a basic level 1 upgrade or a level 2 upgrade that is unique to their color if you have level 1 already. You have a charge shot that is a shield against most of the bullet types at full charge.The basic gameplay is fun in the end, and relatively unique for a vertical shooter released in this day and age or otherwise. The game beyond the basic gameplay is slightly bare bones though. It would have been nice to have a level select type of practice or score mode, which is present in Infinos Gaiden, because as you master early parts of the game and come up against more difficult later levels it can begin to feel tedious playing through the initial levels to get to the part you are learning. The game is also missing online leaderboards, which would be nice but is forgivable in the end. For its price, the game is definitely worth it.The soundtrack in Battle Crust is also one of my new favorites. The first stage theme in particular really adds to the game and kept me wanting to come back initially despite dying a lot. It has been stuck in my head all week.. Battle Crust is a nice call back to the shooter of the early sixteen-bit era. Instead of a constant barrage of bullets to dodge there is a more measured approach and a casual pace of play. It does not make the game a cake-walk but this type of design is ultimately more engaging in my view. I will play any type of shmup as long it is has solid fundamentals however for repeat playthroughs I've always preferred the more minimalist designs of the sixteen-bit era shooters. Wtih its' static but detailed backgrounds and catchy chip-tune music Battle Crust can be most closely compared to a Turbografx-16 Hucard game. Super Star Soldier comes to mind as the best parallel. The developer did a wonderful job of accurately recreating the feel of a shooter from that platform, which is not a common thing to achieve authentically. This would also be a good shooter for a entry-level player who does not want to feel instantly overwhelmed by the bullet barrage design of many modern examples of the genre, as long as you don't mind the visuals from a bygone era. That era represented my gaming prime so I have a special appreciation for the graphical presentation. Overall a well executed vertical shoot em up and recommended. The developers' more recent horizontal side-scroller is also very good; I'll be on the lookout for more from them in the future.. So simple, yet missing nothing ! I don't know what's better, the pixel graphics or the music. There's something about a japanese developer's touch, can't put my finger on it, but I like it.. A good game that could be great!If you are a shooter fan and you most likely are if you are on this page you will enjoy this game. The thing is you will also no doubt like me find some little annoying niggles. The game looks great and a lot of thought has obviously gone into the design detail to capture that early 90's arcade feel. The music and end level intermission are also done very well. The ship controls just slightly too slow, it cause me to get killed far too often when you attempt to make a dodeg but the ship just doesnt quite get there. I can find no speed option or speed power ups in game. The ships weapons often feel too weak even after being powered up. This makes it feel at times unbalanced. I found myself dyeing much more during the levels than the boss fights. The ships weapon sounds are often weak and too 'bleepy' . It doent make you feel like a bad\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665\u2665which for me shooting games should. These comments aside i do still really enjoy the game and recommend you do to. This companies next game 'Infinos Gaiden' has a demo out now on Steam and it is magnificent. Its very clear to see they learnt a lot making this game and took that on to something amazing. Picoring soft has become one of my now closely watched studios.
