Description

Me playing Shmups Skill Test on my PC (by Steam). Please read all the text below to see my full review of this game. Shmups Skill Test was first released in 2007 for Arcade (Sega Naomi board) and later ported in 2009 to Xbox 360 as part of the "Shooting Love 200X" collection, which brought together beyond this game other three: "Minus Zero", "Trizeal Remix "and" Exzeal ", all of them developed by Triangle Service (japanese developer founded by a former employee of Konami) and now in 2016 this game finally comes to Steam at the hands of Degica, publisher that has been noted for bring to the Steam (and thus to the whole world) many shmups (acronym for shoot' em up aka STG)  previously restricted only to Japan.  Shmups Skill Test is a unique and very interesting game that brings together a collection of several mini-games that allow to test and also enhance the ability of shmups lovers in several important aspects for this kind of game, such as dodge bullets and obstacles, collect items, training aim, shoot bombs accurately and etc. Therefore, the game works as a great training tool for improving the ability of the players in shmups and of course also have fun in this process. There are four main modes in this game: [Solo Test] the main mode of the game, in which the system randomly assembles the sequence of mini-games that will appear in sequence on the screen to test the player's skill level and, in the end, provides beyond the score also the age that corresponds to the player's skill, so that the newer, better; [Practice Mode] where the player himself chooses the mini-games sequence that he wants to play, so to improve specific questions that he desired; [Versus] for 2 and 4 players and finally [Challenge / Score Attack] mode. Importantly, the player has at his disposal a great leaderboard online and also has the ability to save replays of games played, and the player can also view replays of other players inside the leaderboard, something always useful for those who want to know and learn the patterns and techniques used by the best players. The graphics of the mini-games are quite simple, but fulfill their role, with several customization options such as filters, screen rotation, image scale and etc. The soundtrack is interesting, fitting well in the various mini-games, including the presence of some well-produced vocal chords. The gameplay is solid, fun and as mentioned very useful for enhancing the skills of shmups players. The controls work well (I used the Xbox 360 controller and works well both in digital and analog mode). Therefore, due to its unique characteristics, Shmups Skill Test is a very interesting game especially for shmups lovers who want to increase their skills.
