Super Captain 3D -- Gameplay Part 2 (First boss through a bit of third stage) (No Commentary)
1Super Captain 3D is a new and upcoming side-scrolling shoot-em-up game coming to Steam soon (November 12, 2018). The game has nice graphics and the music is decent. The initial game seems to be lacking in the fun factor, but it does improve as you move forward and are able to level up and upgrade your main character.
This video starts at the first boss and goes through the next entire stage, plus a bit of the following. So there are 2 boss fights in this video.
You have to destroy all of the enemies along the way, which is unusual for Shmup type games. I understand that with the premise of the game in the beginning, but in later stages, when you are not really defending your city any more, this doesn't make sense at all.
My biggest issues with this game are:
1. The need to destroy all enemies coupled with the fact that your shooting weapon is only available in one direction.
2. The large body of the main character also makes for an enormous hitbox. I can't say I am a big fan of this.
The graphics with the retro-style scan lines are nice, and I think this game can be made to be more fun. In its current state, I do think it needs some more work. But it's better than my initial impression, so I am glad I went in to try again.
