Squad 51 vs. the Flying Saucers

All presentation, very uninspired gameplay. Don't buy this if you're looking for a shooter, but DO buy it if you're looking for an "interactive story experience" which respects and pays homage to the old 1950's science fiction movies: The Noir atmosphere is VERY nice, and you can tell the developer loves the genre. But gameplay? It's not there. Very bland, lacking diversity - there are "over 20 unlockable upgrades", but they don't feel impactful - if we're beating aliens, of course we could steal some of those weapons and go a bit crazy, right? The environment looks great, but at time it's very difficult to know if you're about to collide with something or if it's just scenery/environment. The controls are good - not great.

"Esquadrão 51 Contra os Discos Voadores" é um shoot ‘em up brasileiro que presta uma homenagem direta aos filmes de ficção científica B dos anos 1950. Com visual todo em preto e branco, o game recria com perfeição a estética dos clássicos do cinema retrô, usando cenários reais filmados em maquetes e mesclando-os com gráficos em CGI, o que confere um charme único e cinematográfico à experiência. Na trama, a Terra é invadida por uma raça alienígena chamada Vega, que inicialmente se apresenta como pacífica, mas rapidamente se revela uma ameaça autoritária e destrutiva. Cabe ao Esquadrão 51 liderar a resistência humana e enfrentar essa força alienígena em intensas batalhas aéreas. A jogabilidade segue o estilo tradicional dos “shmups” (shoot ‘em ups) com progressão lateral, oferecendo fases variadas, cada uma com chefes criativos e obstáculos desafiadores. É possível pilotar diferentes tipos de aeronaves, cada uma com estilos de disparo únicos, além de upgrades e armas especiais. A dificuldade é equilibrada, com modos acessíveis para novatos e desafios robustos para veteranos do gênero. Os diálogos exagerados e a narração dramática em português reforçam ainda mais o tom pulp e divertido da narrativa. O destaque fica para a direção de arte e a sonoplastia, que capturam perfeitamente o espírito das ficções científicas antigas, com efeitos sonoros analógicos e trilha sonora orquestrada no estilo retrô. É uma obra que mistura nostalgia, criatividade e identidade brasileira com maestria. ....... \_☠_ ▄▂_ .........[█|||███████]▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▃▂ ..__▂▅█ Mafia do Retrogame █▅▄▃▂ I███████████████████████████] ...◥⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙▲⊙◤ CANAL MAFIA DO RETROGAME - YOUTUBE @mafiadoretrogame https://www.youtube.com/@mafiadoretrogame APRESENTAÇÃO DO GAME - 1a.Fase https://youtu.be/i9AcgQwpexM

[b]Squad 51 vs. the Flying Saucers[/b] is one of the most unique side scrolling Shoot 'Em Ups I have encountered. The retro black and white art style feels like playing through a 50's Sci Fi TV show. The storytelling, acting and voices present incredibly well. A hidden gem that is definitely underrated.

Black woman saves Earth along a diverse cast of characters (but mostly women in command). Just, no.

Kaijus, a estética de filmes antigos, desafiador e diversas cenas com atores, dublagem em pt br e tudo mais, MUITO BOMMMMMMMMMM.

Plays well on my PC handheld AokZoe A1pro Overall: 8/10 I'm not shmup savant but I had a blast with the game. The cinematic and style was great! Loved the story that's integrated with the combat! Gameplay: 7.5/10. Nothing new was good, i had fun. Bc of the monochromatic nature of the game, sometimes its hard to see what's going on. The weapon upgrades could've been more spectacular. Story: 8.5/10 it was fantastic. Got the 50s vibe. The acting was on point with the camp, loved the 3rd act Difficulty: 8.5/10 I'm no shmup guy, so this was pretty difficult for me. Luckily the normal modes had infinite lives and each stages had 1-2 check points. There is a hardcore mode for you shmup people. I personally loved the game. I was grinning from ear to ear the whole time.

It's a decent shmup, nothing too special. The visual style is obviously the draw and [i]it is[/i] pretty cool - I'll give it that. ..though [b]Cuphead[/b] and [b]Unstoppable Gorg[/b] rate a little bit higher for me on that front. I like that the game follows shmups like [b]Tyrian[/b]: It saves progress between stages and you can mix and match upgrades that you acquire over the course of the run (though the upgrades here aren't very interesting). Not much else to say about it. It's a decent game with a neat art direction. ===================== [b]My SHMUP Tier List (PC)[/b] ===================== [i]~Simply personal taste.[/i] [i]~Sticking mostly to modern games that don’t use the archaic lives/continues system.[/i] [i]~Not including many 'flying anime girl shmups' as they don't appeal to me very much.[/i] [b]Loved it:[/b] Jamestown | ZeroRanger | Tyrian 2000 | Gunlocked+ | Steredenn$ | [b]Great:[/b] Super Hydorah | Drainus | Super Galaxy Squadron EX Turbo# | Warhawk (2017) | Star of Providence$ | Minishoot’ Adventures% | [b]Good:[/b] G-Darius | Steel Empire | MF-01 Aerostrike% | Operation Steel$ | Jets’n’Guns 2 | Wings of Seduction+@ | [b]Decent:[/b] Ganablade | [b]Squad 51 Vs.

Шикарное кинцо прямиком из 50-х про летающие блюдца, разбавленное довольно высокого качества леталкой-стрелялкой. Достаточно изощренной, чтобы людям, знакомым с жанром, не было скучно, но с модной метапрогрессией и сохранениями, чтобы и широкая аудитория без проблем могла приобщиться. Тот случай, когда полученные гранты были потрачены на проект мечты, а не положены в карман.
