Samurai Ace

Samurai Ace is for people who miss old vertical shmups with simple rules: fly, shoot, dodge. The mood is lively and a bit wild, and the setting feels far from the usual space shooter. What you'll like: - Controls are easy: the stick steers your ship, two buttons handle the regular shot and the bomb. You'll get the hang of it in a couple of runs. - Co-op works well: a second player can jump in mid-run without restarting. - Hold the fire button and release it at the right moment for a super shot. Half the fun in boss fights comes from this. - Eight stages and 21 different routes with several endings give you a reason to play more than once. You get a Steam activation key for the Global region. It's shown right on the order page, so you can activate the game in the Steam client right after payment. You can grab the Samurai Ace key right here on the site. Sai-Kyo's commemorative first title.
