[SAGExpo 2023] Spacewing War 2 Demo
1A sequel to a Gameboy-styled STG, which from my experience was fairly average and approachable (even on Challenge difficulty), nothing much to it.
The sequel already is a step up in presentation, but it is still very much geared towards players new to the genre, with a shop to buy upgrades, explorable maps between stages and an absolute flood of extends (seriously, lower the damn number of extend pickups, it's extremely overkill).
It is a bit of a sleeper game with a fair bit of dead air, and while the enemies deal more damage, it is not enough, when you are also flooded with health pickups to replenish your shield, the demo also doesn't come with any harder difficulties, so what you see is what you get in its current state.
I can see improvements being made in the future, since the game is in very early development stage, but critiques should still be made for the developers.
