Well, at least I didn't miss this!

Bullet Heaven reviews Shikhondo: Soul Eater, available for all three major platforms (what are the minor platforms again?).

How did I miss this?

Bullet Heaven put up the review for Debris Infinity (for Switch) about a week ago. I even watched it and then, apparently, forgot all about it. Until now!

Xbox One exclusive Final Star launches in December!

Out of nowhere comes the launch trailer for Xbox One exclusive shooter Final Star:


Let's face it, it's not every day we see an Xbox One exclusive shooter!

Gun-Zaul is coming...

A new shooting game, Gun-Zaul, has been announced by Huga, coming in 2020 (if all goes well).



Looks deliciously retro to me.

Rigid Force Alpha hits version 1.1.0

Vertical shooter Rigid Force Alpha was released in Version 1.1.0 today.

New in this version:

• 3 additional UI languages (Spanish, French and Italian)
• Several difficulty adjustments and stage selection for Easy
• One additional credit for each hour played
• Improved controller support via Steam Input
• Some bugfixes and improvements

Pill Bug Interactive puts on a brave face

Pill Bug Interactive, makers of intriguing shooter Cycle 28, sent an e-mail telling us:
Cycle 28 didn't sell as well as we have hoped. We continue to be blown away by the positive feedback and I am personally really touched to see how much people are enjoying the game. One of the main reasons I make games is to make people happy.

They go on to tell us they're learning from the mistakes of the launch and are talking to a marketing consultant going forward.

If we want to see new shmups being developed I think we as a community need to step up and buy the releases coming out. Why not take a moment and get it on Steam or Switch?

Earth Atlantis and Rym 9000 pre-orders open on November 1st

Play-Asia is telling everyone that their limited releases of Earth Atlantis and Rym 9000, with the former being available in 1700 copies and the latter in 1600 copies, will be available to pre-order on November 1st with shipments going out in January of next year.

Earth Atlantis comes in a Collector´s Box (it's a big cardboard box just like their earlier releases), a Game Disc (surprise!) is included, a Manual, The Fadin World - The Art of Earth Atlantis and the ever-so-exciting numbered certificate is included. Limited to 2 per person.

Rym 9000, the slightly more limited release, includes much the same thing but manages to include an Original Soundtrack in the box which is always a welcome bonus. The same 2 copies limit applies.
