Steam review snapshots
Also, there are these special abilities that the character's ship has; each is unique and has its uses.Rick Henderson is paying a big tip of the hat towards old school 16-bit shoot ‘em ups.Although there is WASD as a control option, it seems to be unusable confusing due to the weapon systems key binds.Even tho this is in EA and still rough around edges here and there, you can already find a lot in this…Why it fits
Check it if you want action filtered by roguelike, pixel art, story rich.
