Very much doing as it says on the tin, SHMUP Mania launches to the Xbox world. Can you survive the bullet-hell it brings?
Available right now on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S is SHMUP Mania from DERIK D.F. The latest bullet-hell, vertically-scrolling SHMUP to land on Xbox consoles, we would suggest that taking in the title will give you all you need to know about this one.Â
A new SHMUP
Yep, it’s a SHMUP and yep, it’s a bit of a mania, tasking you with moving a little ship through hordes of alien forces. Shooting everything that moves, in SHMUP Mania you’ll need to stick on your captain’s hat and fight your way through the galaxy. With some thirty stages of increasingly tricky alien waves to take in, multiple ships to unlock and more, if you’re at all familiar with the vertical-scrolling SHMUP scene, you should be right at home with this one.Â
SHMUP Mania also promises to be a cracking little game for genre newbies. If that is you and you are looking for something to kick back with, shooting forevermore, then fill your space boots with what this has to offer.
Consider that SHMUP Mania lands on Xbox with various adjustments, changes, improvements and more, and DERIK D.F is promising much. We’ll see how it goes in full review, but Xbox Series X|S optimisation makes this pretty appealing.
