SUPER GALAXY SQUADRON
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

http://store.steampowered.com/app/345860

Super Galaxy Squadron is one of the best retro Arcade Shoot’Em up games I have had the pleasure to play for quite a while.

Lovers of retro games will be fond of this one and if you are of a certain age (like Yoda and me), you will experience a trip back to memory lane where all good games were setup like a booth with an old television set right in front of you, a stick on the left hand side of the panel with a fairly large red ball for a good and stable grip. And 2 buttons on the right side which were usually red and yellow. Too bad if you were right handed, impossible to play with your back facing the television set!

Coming back to the game, you can choose to play a new, endless or continue a game in normal or hardcore mode. Then, you have to make the tough decision as to which spaceship you are going to fight with. Fourteen to choose from; some have more power than others and so on and so forth. All spaceships have their own Hyper strike if you want to call it that, again some more effective than others.

After that t’s all about avoiding the onslaught of your enemies’ fire power like some sort of illusionist and at the same time destroying them with your powerful arsenal! I FUN FUN FUN! Mind you, the hardcore mode is fairly challenging.

In term of the controls, I find the gamepad the way to go rather than your keyboard. It is just my preference.

Positives:
~~~~~~~

- Great Shoot’Em Up
- Challenging
- Achievements
- Trading cards

Negative:
~~~~~~~

- I feel older now

Good game.

9/10

ayy man sweet profile and group. I have a question: Why do you want such a high steam level? Not in a rude way but is it just for fame or do you have a real passion for collecting?

I start collecting one and an half year ago. I really enjoy it. Some people like collecting stamps, coins and others. I kile collecting badges that's all.

What an exquisite cut scene at the start of the game.

Jumping out of a cargo plane, the sun glare in your eyes and this sensational feeling of free falling toward the nice coastral city of Harram. Unfortunately you miss your landing and you find yourself stranded, should I say hanging on the side of a building wall. In any case you manage to cut the strings of your parachute and drop awkwardly onto the street, where your tourist guides welcome you with open arms.

This game has the essence of Dead Island and Mirror Edge combined with the in-depth character options from Far Cry 3 and 4. Levelling up skills and crafting well needed weapons and other items the likes of lock picks to Molotov cocktails, and if you feel a bit festive just light up some fire crackers!

The controls are very easy especially if you have already played games like Dead Island or Far Cry 4.

In terms of combat, it is well done and depending where you hit the zombies you might trigger the slow motion (very briefly). Scavenging Zombies will be one source of finding useful items. Plenty of cigarettes and bottles of alcohol; after all, it is party time in Zombieland!

What I find the most thrilling so far is night time. You really have to sneak around and make sure you are not being seen, otherwise you are going to have to make a run for your life - jumping from building to building and running as fast as you can to avoid DYING!

Good graphics as you would expect.

Oh, one thing I find quite funny is when you launch the game. During the loading process you will get the following comment:

“All characters and locations used in this game are fiction. Any resemblance to real persons and places is purely coincidental”

I am just wondering how they know Bob, my local Zombie who runs our corner shop!

Now to the frustrating part of the equation – I experienced a lot of crashes to my desktop. Actually every 20 minutes or so before I did the following:

1) Put my resolution down to 1920 X1200 (I am running a GTX 980)
2) Disable Nvidia control panel
3) Turn off Vertical Synchronization, Nvida HBAO+, and Motion Blur

Now, it seems to run better but I do have the occasional crash. For $70, I did not expect this to be truly honest. And just for comparison, I can run Far Cry 4 on 3840 X 2160 with everything turn on without a problem.

It seems to me this game was rushed.

Positves:
~~~~~~~

- Great idea (combining Mirror Edge, Dead Island)
- Nice graphics (could be better in higher resolution)
- Co-op or single player
- Play the Zombie
- Good cut scenes
- Plenty to do
- Achievements
- Trading cards

Negatives:
~~~~~~~~

- Frustrating crash issues

Look, if you can make this game runs smoothly it is fun and I am happy to recommend it. But I am also happy to recommend waiting until the bugs are fixed or the price is lowered. Sorry, I call it as I see it.

7/10
