Get ready to push your skills to the limit against an endless sea of bullets and evil robots in Astral Gunners. Choose from five different gunners to master in this horizontal shooter. With the ability to dodge, reflect, delete, and convert bullets you are more powerful than you might believe.
FEATURES:
- 5 Playable Characters: Each with four different abilities including 2 shooting abilities, 1 defensive ability, and a powerful special ability.
- 5 Levels: Battle fearsome bosses, slightly less fearsome mini-bosses, survive high speed chase scenes, and save friendly gunners from danger. Each level offers something unique!
- Achievement-based Progression: Unlock additional characters, continues, power-ups, skins, and difficulties as you complete achievements.
- Equip Power-ups: Astral Gunners stays true to the arcade spirit of shmups, and everything can be beaten on your first run if you’re skilled enough. However, at the mere cost of being on a separate online leaderboard you can equip power-ups unlocked throughout play that give you a boost to your power along with some creative control.
- Hidden Bonus Levels: Find hidden collectibles for the opportunity to challenge secret bosses and boost your score!
- Intense Scoring Gameplay: Convert enemy bullets into a score multiplier, defeat enemies quickly to spawn bonus waves, and utilize System Overload to harvest medallions from enemies to maximize your score!
- Choose Your Own Path: Decide the order you play through levels. Save your allies from peril and see how they change the course of your journey.
- 4 Difficulty Modes: Regardless of your skill level, an appropriate challenge awaits!
- Local 2 Player: Bring a friend along for the ride, and discover synergies between the various gunners. (A controller is required for 2 player)
- Online Leaderboards: Filter by character and difficulty. Regardless of how you like to play, there’s a leaderboard for you to climb!

I really enjoyed this game - so much so I nearly missed a flight to go on holiday trying to get the easy 1cc. It's scoring system is that compelling!
The gameplay is tight, engaging, and fun - exactly what I want in a shmup. The scoring doesn't seem overly complicated, but I have barely scratched the surface of that as it is quite deep.
The graphical style and presentation is good and works well with the gameplay, story and music - it's the cohesiveness of the parts that adds the cherry on top in my opinion. Nothing sticks out of place, everything seems perfectly arranged and thought through. This makes it a joy to play and I can't wait to spend more time with this game!

Astral Gunners feels familiar right away, but secretly surprises with clever mechanics. You choose from five different characters, each with unique shot patterns and special skills, which keeps it interesting and varied
A handy plus is the ability to repeat levels in training mode, so that you can perfect that one timing or route
For anyone who likes rankings and high-score hunting, the ‘System Overload’ mechanic offers extra depth
Graphically it is simple, sometimes a bit too minimalistic against the background or with bullets. This occasionally results in some recognizability issues, but after a few runs you hardly notice it anymore.
Musically it is very good: the heavy metal soundtrack by Sami Sati with guest guitarists gives extra energy to each stage.

Good game but I just didn't click with it. There's alot of content on offer and it's well made though.
