A vertical arcade shoot'em up with an inventive teleport system, lots of fast-blazing action and explosions, tons of boss fights, a risk/reward based score system and a proper challenge for both veteran and new players of the genre.

Discounts
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.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 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.

OVERVIEW: Remember that kid in school that wears budget clothes but gets A grades on every subject? Meet Sophstar Imagine learning to become a jet-fighter pilot and before getting the chance to get into action having to prove yourself in a cadet school... Yes, even that Sophstar brings to the table Pros -» Gameplay: A creative teleport system and secondary weapon gauge piles up to a meaningful choice of ships! -» Soundtrack and sound effects: sweet sound effects and voice files from points boxes, bonus and extra lives -» Graphics: I like the size ratio between our ship and the battlefield. They have hit full marks on that front -» Bosses: Reminds me of Sonic Wings/Aero Fighters style with mechanics that range from standard shmups to bullet hell -» Replayability: the best on the market! 9 ships and 6 game modes are a feast to admire -» Difficulty: scales from a walk in the park to running in a desert. Just choose your suitable exercise -» Bullet style: classic 90's Cons -» Game was not available during my teenage years SUMMARY: Excellent risk-reward idea, where point blank shooting enables a higher score bonus chance. When you think about all Sophstar has to offer... it is basically like buying an indie game on its case, arriving at home and realizing the shop employee left a forgotten extra AAA title on the box. 9/10 gaming scale Disclosure: After clearing the main campaign and, as I comeback for new sessions or new updates arise by developers, I intend to keep revising this review

必須のシューティングゲームだけど、初心者にはあまり優しくない。 『Sophstar』は機能とコンテンツがギッシリ詰まっている。9機の戦艦があるだけでもすごい！ 『東亜プラン』風の懐かしい感じとカラフルなスプライト。│ 伝統的なボムがないのと、いくつかの中ボスが少し疲れる。
Sophstar é incrível, um baita jogo brasileiro de enorme respeito com diversos aspectos positivos. Música boa, gameplay excelente, mecânica gimmick do teleporte, alguns modos de jogo e diversas naves. Só acho meio absurdo o nível de dificuldade do jogo pra se fazer o final verdadeiro (1CC com dificuldade Normal ou superior), mas tirando isso, é um baita jogaço. Nota 8.5/10.
Shmup Junkie recommended this on his YouTube channel for those who like an easy to learn shooter. But there's lots of difficulty levels for everyone. Even on "Child" difficulty you still have to pay attention as stray bullets will get you. It's not a very exciting game but the controls are tight and do exactly what you want.
Best Shmup I've played this year.
One of the best Shmups I've played in a long time. It has one of the best rosters of playable characters I have seen in a shmup, they all feel different and add a unique game play experience. Game play is fast and kinetic but fair. When you are locked in and it clicks the combat is insanely satisfying.
An excellent indie shmup with loads of difficulties available, bonus modes, and 9(!) different ships to pick from. Heaps to do here and lots of fun.
Solid vertical STG with a nice pixel art presentation.
Game do estilo "coloque o cartucho, dê start e jogue". Não é necessário fazer um curso para aprender a jogar, e é ação o tempo todo. Junta o que há de melhor nos games clássicos de navinha com mecânicas modernas de controle e pontuação. A curva de aprendizado é justa e os níveis de dificuldade selecionáveis atendem todos os tipos de jogadores, do iniciante ao veterano hardcore. Recomendo!
Não joguei (ainda) tanto quanto deveria, mas confesso que é um dos melhores, se não o melhor SHMUP que eu já joguei NA VIDA. Enfim...recomendo de olhos fechados.
