Devader

Alright - quick note here, I played this game a long time ago, and I didn't get anything at all. it was just visual noise on screen, the controls were weird, I didn't gel with it. Died fast, and didn't come back. Noticed the dev has been really active, trying to iron out all the details to make the game feel good, play good, and be easy to parse what's going on with a glance, as you play. And I tested it out today - I gotta say, this game is like a totally new beast now. The visuals have been toned down where they need to, and amplified ion other areas - which is really helpful for things liek timers, indicators, powerups, etc. - it's actually really easy to scan the battlefield for what you need. Enemies are one color, and variate upwards to black - your units are always red. Very good stuff, and your UI is wrapped around your character, it's easy to see what it all is, too. It rings your HP, your special attacks, and your ammo count on nukes in a very simple layout, and It's actually really helpful the way this game plays out. You are defending a massive hexagonal structure from thousands of " matrix sentinel-like " creatures and mechs. You have multiple abilities to use( you pick upgrades after each level, and are given a choice of two weps, with different functoins. They are explained well, and the controls are shown to you, with the next level starting out a tutorial to ensure you know how to use your stuff. the battlefield gets more intense as you survive more and more waves, the creature designs are horrifying - some of the most insane things, all hairy looking, or liek a millipede ( i freakin hate those things irl ) it's all so dang nasty looking, and you feel a genuine sense of dread when trying to get rid of them as quickly as possible, at least I did. The dev has worked extremely hard on this game, and I think everyone should give it a try ( there's a demo on the store page ) And if it feels to your fancy, pick it up. It's a labor of love, the effort has shone through to the game and the gameplay feel. Very unique twin stick game on Steam - Absolutely recommended.

Real fun bullet hell shooter game. Deserves more recognition than what it has right now.

I feel like I've stuck a floppy in my Amiga in the 90s and found a whole new fantastic game. This is a demanding game full of gameplay mechanics and furious blasting. You can feel invincible one moment and then be obliterated the next. Play it!

Do you like arcade games where ♥♥♥♥ gets intense fast? Games like Centipede Chaos, Space Invaders Frenzy, and Galaga Assault? Then this game is for you, cuz it's intense as hell, hypnotizing and hell, and has some of the most satisfying sound design I've heard in a game.

Devader starts off as an excellent single-screen twin-stick shooter and scales up and up and up and UP from there. Every level has new enemy types, new upgrades for your unit, and potentially new bosses or, with the right upgrades, entirely new play styles. If you like games which are a succession of micro-decisions backed by long term risk/reward decisions, and you also like twin-stick shooters, then you should buy this game! It's a bit similar to a roguelike in its per-engagement upgrade decisions, but unlike most roguelikes it's very deterministic. If you go for the same upgrade route then you'll face the same bosses and have the same ability choices and so on. This leans into the twin stick shooter score-attack sort of feeling, with leaderboards for each upgrade path and specialist boss and so on. There's also a really wide array of options including some of the best accessibility options I've ever seen in a game, letting you reduce the (very pretty) visual chaos to something a lot more readable if you so choose, and slow down or speed up the game speed if that helps. Along with several difficulty levels it should be playable and enjoyable for just about anyone, although most of the complexity of the game is locked behind at least Normal difficulty as none of the specialist skills are available on easy - still, easy lets you pick between different turrets and upgrades and charge weapons and so on, so there's still a lot of content there too. The sound effects and music are ok, certainly not bad, but I didn't think they were anything special either. The graphics are in my opinion really nice, with just about every enemy kill and most powerful weapon firings leaving a scar on the landscape that accumulates over time, making each battlefield very personalized as the game progresses, and everything has the required amount of visual pizazz, and a nicely well thought out colour scheme prevents you losing sight of which bullets are yours and which should be avoided - always a problem in this sort of game. Overall, Devader is great!

Just plain cool

Хаос, адреналин, шторм пуль, довольно интересная прокачка, адово злые боссы. Я далеко не сразу сумел пройти эту игру и это было для меня сюрпризом. Увы, но отчасти потому, что я осознал - сама игра не сильно долгая, особенно с той динамикой боев, какая идет с самых первых секунд (и это при обильных обучалках-пояснялках с каждым прохождением). В целом и общем: Этот обзор пишет человек, какой НЕ любит шутеры и игры в стиле "шторм пуль". Делайте выводы
