    Steredenn Binary Stars might look like a generic shoot-’em-up on the surface, but it offers quite a bit to be excited about. I found the wonderful selection of weapons and multiphase bosses an absolute delight despite the relentless difficulty. While the all or nothing nature will be more than enough to turn some people off, for those who welcome it will without a doubt find themselves proclaiming, just one more run.

    A tough as nails mixture of two of the toughest genres out there. It's still a good deal of fun though.

    It has a kickass soundtrack and is quite difficult initially but has you quickly coming back for more. It blends in the roguelike and shmup genres together with a memorable pixel art aesthetic.

It's SUPER difficult and unless you are SUPER committed to being a Steredenn pro, you will play for an evening an never pick it up again. I'm pretty bummed it's not sticking.… Full Review »

I can barely fault this game, other than it's seriously hard - but that's part of why it's great. Such a great selection of weapons, and great fun as a result. Always a surprisingly fun game. Great music too. Currently up there with graceful explosion machine as the best shmup on the Switch.

    Upping to a 10 after repeated plays. It's still very hard though. Some of the scores in the worldwide leaderboard I have no idea how they achieved them.    … Full Review »
