Modeled estimate, not a reported figure. How we estimate →
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0/day in the week to Sep 3 → 0/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Sol Cresta is based on an underrated shooter classic with a great mix of modern elements and a new soundtrack on classic Nichibutsu hardware. It's also got a new lower price.
Très bon shoot 🎮🔥. Avec vraiment plein de possibilités de tir, que ce soit par la formation de combat, des items, mais aussi grâce à des diagonales, des quarts de cercle + tir ou des haut->bas + tir, etc... Comme dans les jeux de combats 🥋⚡. Vraiment j'adore le genre et je conseille vraiment, car il y a vraiment plein d'autres choses à découvrir ✨. C'est un Shoot'em up vraiment très complet et bien pensé 🚀. Il serait dommage de passer à côté de cette pépite 💎 même si le côté Old School vous dérange ; au niveau Gameplay c'est une tuerie 🔥. Moi j'aime tout ! 😍

Awesome SHMUP classic reborn. Love this game. 5+/5
Os aseguro que en un primer vistazo, estuve a punto de devolverlo. me pareció bastante feo de gráficos y su jugabilidad muy alejada del clásico. Pero me pasé por las opciones, añadí un filtro de scanlines y madre mía cómo cambió la cosa. Ahora es uno de mis juegos favoritos de naves. El juego tiene una jugabilidad bastante buena si lo pruebas en dificultades normal o alta, y lo convierte por derecho propio en la quinta parte de la saga. Una excelente opción para los amantes de los shumps clásicos, que ya no abundan como antes.
低難易度クリア重視プレイでも道中で気にかける要素が多く意外と新鮮に楽しめるゲーム
muy buen shump
One of the best platinum games, really loved how it implemented input commands like their other action games, like wonderful 101, but not as hard. It makes it for a pretty complex combat system for a shmup, it's kind of like Radiant Silvergun, tons of weapons that works for different kinds of scenarios, some are more useful than others. The score system is quite simple, defeat enemies as fast as possible to get more coins, which then become resources for your ship, like getting more meter, lives, shields and stronger bullets. It's pretty addicting and wish more shmups do something similar. The graphics are a bit rough but I find the artstyle kind of charming, reminds me of Saturn games, but I would say that my major problem is the visibility during gameplay, I find the background a bit too saturated which can make the bullets and hazards a bit hard to see sometimes and some of the hit boxes aren't accurate to the sprites which can make for some cheap deaths. Also, I find it a tad long for a shmup, it's around 1 hour for arcade mode which is a bit tiring in multiple playthroughts compared to other shumps that are 40 mins or less. Something that bother me was that the story mode was behind a paywall, they should have made it part of the base game since it is pretty expensive as it is. I recommend to buy it in sales like I did, while I find the game to be pretty good, I just can't justify paying more than $25 for it, compared to other shmups with the same quality that are around the same price. As for the storymode, it's the classic Kamiya kind of story, it shares a ton of similarities with Wonderful 101, it's good but I really wish it was dubbed, since the game is pretty frenetic it's hard to read the subs while playing. I end up playing on easy difficulty to be able to enjoy the story. I still recommend this game if you are a fan of platinum games or shmups, it's a ton of fun once you learn the mechanics and it is a fresh take on the genre, but wait for a sale to get a fair price.
Excellent Shoot pour les Nostalgiques de la série des Cresta (Moon Cresta et Terra Cresta).
one of the shmups that have the most interesting gameplay but has the worst enemy and terraince placement👎
