Yar's Revenge

I Love it!!!

The original is better.

O jogo é divertido. Ao jogar me fez lembrar de panzer dragoon. Pena que é curto.

To dev: You wanna make a remake - look to Yars: Recharged. Simpler, preserves the original mechanics and feel - probably much cheaper to make - infinitely better!

+ great atmosphere great PanzerDragoonesque Moebius graphic style winks for all who know the 1981 original (shield, "Yar screen" boss) - no full screen option available only a small window on a 1080p screen 1981 comic on 1080p monitor unreadable no key-rebind possible (I have no original 360 controller here) repetetive enemies thoughts: hopefully the devs will adjust the minor flaws (key-rebind, full-screen), this is a great rail-shooter!

Not the best rail shooter but more than satisfying since there aren't that many anyway, and especially worth it on a $2 sale. The challenge level feels appropriate and there are some scoring leaderboards and extra challenge modes. It's panzer dragoon style in that your aiming is detached from your movement. Irritatingly, you'll have to enable steam input and manually invert the y for the movement (left joystick) with steam, because the game only gives the option to invert y for the aiming reticle. The game also didn't give me how-to-play instructions for controller. Most of the controls are easy to figure out but I had to find an old xbox version let's play video to learn the intended way to use the Zorlon Cannon is to hold down both left and right sticks until charged. 4k@120 FPS works fine after adjusting an ini file to increase the max frame rate. There were some Linux issues with fullscreen but I resolved them by launching in windowed mode with gamescope and using gamescope's fullscreen.

I played this game on the Steam Deck, runs great on it. I recommend taking a photo of the PhysX nvidia driver window that will appear when booting the game for first time because it looks cool. The game is very entertaining and has great music and amazing art direction. Focus the guided missiles towards humanoid enemies (ammo on those is limited but some enemies drop ammo in form of a missile medal you have to shoot to get ammo), the standard gun on small enemies and canon for big arahnic tanks. I explain this because the negative point of this game is lack of voice acting and wanting to show small text dialogues when tons of bullets are on the screen. Text also moves fast so don`t read it and focus on playing.
