Fast Striker is a two-dimensional shoot-em'-up, in which we control a spacecraft fighting dozens of extremely dangerous aliens. The developer of this game is German studio NG:DEV.TEAM founded in 2001. The team specialized in homebrew productions for Neo Geo and Dreamcast retroconsoles. Fast Striker is the first work of the developer to be officially released on current-generation platforms.

Mechanics

This is a classic vertical shoot'em up. Like countless titles in the genre, players slowly travel through the linear level, fighting waves of enemies. The game offers a total of six different stages. Each of them ends with a duel with a large and powerful boss. In the course of the game, we fight a total of forty unique types of opponents.

The creators prepared a total of four difficulty levels, affecting the power and the number of opponents appearing on the screen. Going through the whole game using only one credit, you will get access to the bonus mini level, in which you will face the optional boss. After defeating it, we will unlock the true end of the title.

If you are a fan of retro vertical shooters then Fast Striker from eastasiasoft is definitely a good option, especially since it's a cross-buy release, so you'll be getting both the PlayStation 4 and the PlayStation Vita versions with one purchase. There's also a physical copy available in very limited quantities from Play Asia, which you can pre-order by clicking right here.

PlayStation Universe: 6 / 10 by Timothy Nunes

Fast Striker pays homage to the original game, but it offers very little in regards to modernization. Fast Striker has some simple, intriguing elements to it, but it lacks the polish of other games in the genre.

Cubed3: 7 / 10 by Gabriel Jones

Fast Striker is solid all round. It has four modes of ever-increasing challenge and complexity. Novices are able to get a feel for the game, while Maniacs can push their skills to the limit. The shields are an interesting idea. Under the right circumstances, they are a satisfying means of escape, yet they can also be a crutch. If they are always being exhausted, it's proof that the player needs more practice. Overcoming the impossible is what STGs are all about, and this title clearly understands that mantra.
