    Etwas "Uridium" auf Speed, man muss schnell abdrücken. Das war Commodore (Schneider CPC) von seiner besten Seite, schlicht begeisternd.

    Really fun game, some great retro action. Really like the little turning animation of the main ship and that it makes you invincible adding to the gameplay. A lot of fun with some fun bosses.

    There's a lot of on screen vomit going on. Your character is fast with fast moving objects and shooting and multiple colors make the game look ugly. It's just a struggle to enjoy even if it is based on the NES version of the Last Star Fighter. The frequent discounts make this a much better palatable game.

    The game is fun but I really wish that mom and dad would stop fighting. They've been fighting for weeks now and dad has been a lot more angry and drinking his Jack Daniel's apple juice. Can someone please help me?

    Perfect game for me. Retro inspired button mashing fun. Easy to get into, fast game. Fastest level can be beat in under a minute, a full run takes less than 45 minutes. There is a survival mode too, if you have a lot of time to play. This game is way easier than its inspiration Uridium. You can retry as many times as you like without losing your score from previous levels. You will onlyPerfect game for me. Retro inspired button mashing fun. Easy to get into, fast game.

This game is way easier than its inspiration Uridium. You can retry as many times as you like without losing your score from previous levels. You will only collide with deck objects in the retro skill setting. Music and FX are Commodore 64 inspired, with lots of pulse-width modulation. Only criticism I have: The surface obstacles in retro setting stop being obstacles once you reach the boss, or play boss mode. But that’s not worth more than 0.1 score points. So, technically I should rate this game 9.9/10, but since I can’t: 10/10 !… Expand

    It's definitely a solid fast-paced arcade shooter but Hyper Sentinel also tends to devolve into a needlessly frustrating experience.

    Though it appears to be an simplistic shooter, Hyper Sentinel really takes the fun parts out of any shmup and brings a fast, entertaining game. If you're not a fan of the genre, the straight-up approach to shooting aliens may struggle to maintain your interest over time. However, casual and hardcore fans will discover a challenging and insanely fun shooter.

    There is a clear sense of passion here delivered through pure fun. The developers were successful in creating a new take on concepts originally conceived decades ago. This new shoot-‘em-up not only celebrates its predecessor but delivers a colorful, energetic experience that isn’t easy to put down.
