About the Game

Space shooters never die.
1993 is a testament to that, honoring classics like Life Force, R-Type and Xenon II. We're keeping the genre alive.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

1993 S.M was made in 1993. It is not made to look retro. It is not polished for today's tech - this is the genuine thing!
It's 1993 - Today! (Further updated in 2020!)

Game story:
"Towards the end of the interstellar wars, chaos spread and one band of elite mercenaries acted more like pirates and looters than actual soldiers. The leader of this group was the notorious and infamous Colonel Nestor.

Without a doubt the biggest prize of their looting campaigns was the Spacemachine: a device designed to terraform barren planets and making them habitable. With this device, and the rest of their treasure, Nestor and his men started to build an army that now poses a great threat to the known star systems.

Mission: Bring back the Space Machine."

Detailed and Positive Review of "1993 Space Machine"



Wendrex wrote:

Developer: Exceed, Aurora Punks
Genre: Shoot 'em up (Shmup)
Platforms: PC (Steam), PlayStation 4, Xbox One

"1993 Space Machine" is a game that captures the classic essence of shoot 'em ups from the 1990s, while incorporating modern elements that make it a unique and captivating experience. Developed by Exceed and Aurora Punks, the game is a well-made homage to the classics of the genre, such as "Gradius" and "R-Type", but with its own identity that makes it stand out.

Gameplay:
The gameplay of "1993 Space Machine" is its strongest point. The game offers precise and responsive control, essential for a shmup, where precision and quick reflexes are fundamental. The player pilots a highly customizable ship, with a variety of weapons and upgrades that can be combined in countless ways. This customization allows each player to find a playstyle that suits their preferences, whether focusing on fast attacks, massive firepower, or robust defenses.

The combat system is challenging but fair. The enemies and attack patterns are well-designed, requiring the player to learn and adapt to the situations. The bosses are a highlight, with creative designs and battle phases that test both the player's skill and strategy.

Graphics and Visual Style:
The game adopts a retro visual style, with pixelated sprites that recall the classics of the 90s. However, the graphics are modernized with light and particle effects that give a contemporary touch to the visuals. The colors are vibrant and the scenarios are varied, ranging from space environments to alien bases and exotic planets. The attention to detail is remarkable, with each phase having a unique visual identity.

Soundtrack:
The soundtrack of "1993 Space Machine" is another highlight. Composed of electronic and synthwave music, the soundtrack perfectly complements the atmosphere of the game, increasing immersion and tension during the most intense stages. The tracks are energetic and memorable, contributing to the feeling of nostalgia while sounding fresh and modern.

Replayability:
The game offers a good amount of content, with several stages and game modes that encourage replayability. In addition to the main campaign, there are extra challenges, online rankings and the possibility to try out different combinations of weapons and upgrades. This ensures that the game remains interesting even after several playthroughs.

Conclusion:
"1993 Space Machine" is an excellent addition to the shoot 'em up genre, combining the best of the classics of the 90s with modern innovations. The solid gameplay, captivating visuals, immersive soundtrack and high customization make this game an experience that pleases both long-time fans of the genre and new players. Exceed and Aurora Punks have managed to create a game that is both an homage to and an evolution of the shmup, ensuring that "1993 Space Machine" will be remembered as a standout title in the genre.

Rating: 9/10
Recommended for: Shoot 'em up fans, gamers who enjoy retro games with a modern twist, and anyone looking for a fair and rewarding challenge.

I really wanted this to be good but unfortunately it’s far from it. From the lack of proper settings and questionable game design options like having the dialogue window overlapping the gameplay and repeating at every restart/replay or not properly displaying your or enemies’ stats to broken achievements, almost no currency (basically you need to play the same segment forever in order to get some money to try new weapons) and ridiculous final boss (artificial difficulty just to pretend it’s a difficult game), this game it’s a hard pill to shallow.

It starts relatively OK but it gets worse and worse. Save your time and money, it’s not worth it.

Can`t give this a positive review as the achievements do no longer work from the date of my purchase and have held on for over a year in the hope the development team fix this issue..
The game it self is a great throw back from the 90s and plays as you expect.
However i buy theses title's with replay value witch for me is achievements or online leader board.
The store page has information saying this has achievements but they are all broken.

A fun shootemup game that has a lot of challenge to it and some puzzle elements too. A little tricky with a keyboard and I am sure even better with a controller.
