About

Originally published in 1997 and later earning the COMPUTER GAMING WORLD's "Shareware Game of the Year 1999" award, DemonStar was and still is considered by fans as one of the best 2D space shooters on PC.

DemonStar is the most thrilling vertical scrolling shooter on the market! DemonStar takes shooters to the extreme with controller support, 3D rendered graphics, explosive sound effects and a brilliant soundtrack. To destroy each boss, you will have to search for many weapons such as lasers, homing missiles and many more. As you pilot your spaceship through each of the 18 progressive levels, you can build up an arsenal worthy of a match against the XIDUS empire.

25年8月找到了这款小学微机课上和同桌一起耍的游戏 玩的很开心 25年冬促成功背刺 哈哈...hhh
Used to play this as a kid but never had the full game. Its also a bit more challenging even on easy than the original.
爷青回,就是感觉创新不太够,重制了个寂寞
The bosses are always the same thing in a different package and the stages are not very challenging or interesting with things just hastily scattered coming toward you. The music and the graphics are gorgeous, but too bad for the gameplay. Recommended if you're nostalgic for this, but otherwise just play Tyrian or Raptor.
Not the original soundtrack, and this remake is impossible to play, normal alien ships are buffed like final boss, impossible to play.
有人知道怎么改键盘键位吗?
总体来说变化不大。典型的收割一波情怀税跑路的。原价48,现价15,虽不贵,但不值,玩家没欠你什么,就改了个ui和画面就上架,实在过贵,收割成分较大,设置还没中文,老游戏当新游戏卖收割,就没有可夸赞的点。
