    Super Galaxy Squadron EX Turbo has a lot to offer for a shmup/bullet hell game with great cutscenes, sweet looking pixelart graphics, a perfect soundtrack, 17 playable ships and several difficulty options to choose from, with the easiest difficulty setting even allowing mere mortals to make it through most of the game.

I was almost of the opinion that this was the perfect game to introduce to those who'd normally avoid shmups/bullet hell games, but alas, the difficulty spike at the last boss battle did a good job putting me back in my place: I'll wear my "shmup schmuck" hat now, please.… Expand

    Super Galaxy Squadron is hard, although inconsistently so. That is the thing about it that sticks out the most. Described as a vertical shooter for "human beings" with a "challenging but merciful" difficulty curve, and I have to disagree with that discription.

I was able to breeze through most of the game on its middling difficulty, but by contrast, could not defeat the final boss and even on its lowest difficulty setting, said boss killed me multiple times. Thank goodness for checkpoint systems!

    The game's stronger feature by far is a surprisingly wide variety of playable ships with varying weapons and super attacks, and the ability to switch which one you're using at the start of a new stage. It is also aesthetically pleasing, with quality pixel art, an intense soundtrack and vivid color palette. Also, as a Tyrian 2000 fan and one of the two people mentioned on the store page who'd want a story in a vertical shmup, I appreciate the token effort towards that end in the small cutscenes and pilot bios. I wanted to know a little more about the game's setting, in fact.

    All told, SGS is highly accessible by the standards of the "bullet hell" genre, and on that basis I can recommend it. However, there are both other shmups and New Blood-published titles that I greatly prefer.    … Expand

    A fun arcade style shooter. Reminds a bit of galaga but better deseign and more variety in the gameplay.

    Forgiving it may be. This isn’t your typical “easy” shmup/bullet hell. For its price, this is worth it with the available content and replayability. A definite permanent install my portable laptop for its endless mode.
