Very nice SHMUP with a killer soundtrack.
Pretty hard, and you cannot continue without turning on cheats (At least initially, dunno if additional credits can be unlocked), so be ready for a challenge!
Sick shmup, with banger soundtrack(s), great style, lots of goals to strive for (multiple difficulties, unlocks, challenges, mission-mode etc) and fun and approachable scoring system. If you are pretty new to shmups like I was, even the easy (called normal ingame) is pretty hard but doable after some practice. The real challenge was beating regular mode (called hyper ingame), which took a while.
can we get more games like this instead of generic AAA slop? This is full of love and care and you can tell; the music and the overall aesthetic of the game is second to none, and that's not to say that this game doesn't have great gameplay too. if you like shmups this is a MUST play, but even if you don't play shmups, this is a super solid entry into the genre.
amazing game! just a heads-up for the devs/any players with a 1cc on parallel mode: it’s never too late to be a girl 💖
Grade A shmup. Don't see something this good that often.
First, I banged my head against Hyper Mode (The game's "intended" challenge) for a while just to see what it was all about and found it was brutal. So I moved down to Normal Moda, a mode being described as "for novices." It's definitely considerably easier than Hyper mode, but the fact that there are no credits means it's still a challenge because you are forced to 1cc it or nothing. (there is a way to Free Play, but it locks out some achievements, I suppose??? Not everyone cares about that.)
Either way in Normal Mode the game eases up a little and I was able to learn what it's all about. The game essentially forces you to interact with its scoring mechanics if you want to get extends / extra lives. I consider this a good thing, personally. Interacting with scoring mechanics often gives games an identity of their own and having them be nearly optional takes away from that, I feel. I play most games for survival, but here learning the scoring mechanics is part of survival in a much more pronounced way than other shmups that grant extends for meeting certain score thresholds. It might seem overwhelming at first but it's just a matter of getting the hang of it.
With that in mind I'd say Normal Mode isn't so much purely for novices, but a fair challenge for people who don't consider themselves amazing at the genre but have some experience. However, It's probably quite challenging for someone who's just getting started, but that's just a guess because I can't have that experience anymore. So if you're a complete newbie keep that in mind.
After about five hours of total playtime I 1cc'd normal mode (maybe two of which have been trying and failing to get past the third stage boss in Hyper Mode.) And now, when I play Hyper Mode, I have a much easier time than before too, and I can see myself 1cc'ing that as well.
I also gotta talk about the game's legibility options. I wish every shmup had this. Depending on how hard you find keeping track of the important bits in the chaos you can turn your own bullets transparent, make medal pick-ups transparent, make the background darker or desaturate it. You can also color the bullets whichever way you want. This doubles as an accessibility feature for color blind people. Me? I just colored my bullets green and orange, ZeroRanger style. It works surprisingly well with the game's colors.
There's also a bunch of stuff to unlock. There's art, alternate colors for the three available ships, visual filters and remixes of the game's music you can set in the options to play instead of the original music. You can also unlock weapons for the game's XP Mode. Which is pretty much an Arrange mode that remixes the mechanics.
But yeah, it's great. If you like shmups you'll love this. If you're not yet but are interested in the genre, I encourage you to try out Blue Revolver, it might just grab you.
The recent Double Action update brought this game from a solid shmup to a genre defining classic that will go down in history as a landmark foundational title, one of the best that should be played by anyone with even a passing interest in the genre.
Top recommendation winter '24.
The game was already a great cave homage, but they came through and polished EVERYTHING.
Choosing between art and music in the unlock shop is harder than novice mode.
The game is great. Is clearly a passion project. I just beat the game in normal. But I'm going to keep playing.
-Amazing presentation.
-Awesome music.
-Super depth gameplay.
-4 game modes.
-Missions to learn the game.
-It has 120hz framerate option. Super rare in a shmup.
-Great linux versión.
-A lot of options to modify the colors of the game.
Blue Revolver is an incredible shmup with a vast variety of playstyles, customizability and style both in its graphical presentation and its fantastic soundtrack. I really wish this genre wasn't so overlooked and underappreciated, but I'm always glad to see that no matter how niche a genre may be, there will still be passionate devs around the world ready to push that genre forward and evolve it to inspire others to do the same. Give it a shot!!
It was a long wait, but Double Action was worth it. For a free update on an already amazing shmup, this is about as good as it gets. Thoroughly enjoyed beating Normal, it was refreshing to have an actual challenge even on the lowest difficulty. Now to dig into Hyper!
Goddamn! this a fun one ya'll
Zero Ranger might be the perfect gateway to shmups just from its sheer cool factor, but I might prefer Blue Revolver's gameplay (seems to be a good gateway to more arcaedy CAVE-like bullet hells)
the scoring system especially...
(killing 8 enemies, managing ammo, and the euphoria of unleashing the secondary attack on a big enemy and watching all the bonus points fly)
...is simple yet ADDICTING
extra bonuses/minor nitpicks (+ positive, - negative, o neutral)
- easiest difficulty is normal and its whooping my ass lol +
- music when selecting characters is a bit too loud imo -
- the starting tutorial is really nice, and the extra optional tutorials also nice +
- unlockable palletes/music/weapons for just playing are neat +
- story doesn't matter imo o
- menu music is really pretty, menu's overall presentation reminds me of Zero Ranger yet again lol +
so far havent beaten game but im glazing this game, 9/10 so far
Simply one of the best shmups available on Steam, plenty of CAVE DNA on this one for all the good reasons, it's packed with content, lots of custom ways to play the game that will catter both to casuals and hardcore players, beautiful 2D pixel art, amazing soundtrack, high quality stuff all around.
Blue Revolver is an incredible achievement and one launched at a far lower price than deserved. Mechanics are well taught, all attacks are beautifully and clearly telegraphed, and the soundtrack is an absolute smasher. The game gives you plenty of resources to go back and learn sections you have difficulty with, the missions all teach how to deal with certain scenarios whilst being great score attack snipits unto themselves, and it has plenty of unlockables for you to work your way through whilst you're working towards 1CCs. As expected the gameplay's incredibly dense leaving just enough room for mental preparation before the next section, and I've never once felt my attention slipping.
The game's so reasonably priced, so well made, so honourable to the arcade legacy it stems from. It even scales for 5120x1440p resolution!
Just buy it.
Awesome game with a new update!!
Was one of the first shmups I played; I highly recommend it!
This is an insanely good shooter that came out of left field, and the soundtrack slaps. The only downside to these vertical layouts is that they kinda suck to play on the steam deck though.
Even if you believe that you have near-zero interest in shmups, it's worth playing for the post-mothership sequence in Stage 3 with the original OST enabled, or for the Descent section in Stage 5 with the new DA OST
IT'S SO FUN
amazing STG with an encouraging and fun score system
A fantastic shmup, plays great, awesome vibe, excellent exemia soundtrack, and at a super reasonable price.
Must own title.
Great game! Feels like DoDonPachi but customizable. Multiple play modes, unlock system for new stuff. Amazing Soundtrack. I love the dev came back and updated the game more, perfect time for me to jump in.
Rock solid gameplay systems and very replayable. The new soundtrack is incredible as well.
This is one of the best shmups in existence. If you are at all interested in looking into the genre (and don't mind a bit of a learning curve), then I would highly recommend checking out Blue Revolver.
Positives:
+ The gameplay is fast, furious, and won't waste your time.
+ The boss fights are unique and memorable.
+ There are three difficulty settings, so there is always higher to climb skill-wise.
+ The settings are highly customizable above and beyond most shmups.
+ The character art is top shelf.
+ The soundtrack is simply incredible.
+ The game is fair. If you die its your fault.
Potential Negative:
- The lowest difficulty will be a serious challenge to anyone new to the genre.
This is one of the nicest looking shmups out there, with fantastic music (both the old and new soundtracks), and tight gameplay.
The devs have been working for years to drop a massive free update and it's been a blast so far!
Highly recommend it for all the old school shmup fans!
extremely good first impressions. tons of content, features and detailed info to make the 1cc feel attainable. looking forward to working on it.
Great modern shmup whether you're a superplayer or a beginner, play for survival or score. You will find something to work towards and enjoy. Varied ship types, incredibly designed stages that flow well and are distinct, feature rich and most of all made with love. Thank you danbo and everyone involved for delivering.
Blue Revolver has been a top tier modern release for years now. The developer really knows his stuff but more importantly, CARES. He recently released a huge update for free called double action, basically restructuring the game and adding so many things. He didn't have to do this, but he did. I want to thank him, and if he ever has a project in the future, it's an instant buy from me. I'm looking forward to what the future holds but in the meantime, I have a lot of Blue Revolver to jump back into.
Probably one of the most fun shmups I played in recent years, would highly recommend for beginners and veterans.
I picked up Blue Revolver upon a whim after seeing the newest update drop online.
I'm not the most experienced with the game, I've only played a couple of hours overall but I expect to play more as it's already got me excited to chase the 1cc.
It's a delightful homage to CAVE style games without the incredibly steep upfront difficulty curve. It's by no means an easy shmup, but it is one that feels achievable even for a genre-rookie like me who hasn't been playing for very long. The presentation is very nice, the core gameplay is simple and fun, and the new Double Action soundtrack is great! There's also a plethora of options for gameplay and visibility / accessibility and I really appreciate that, which feels like a rare thing to me.
I can imagine my review will change over time to add to this as I get better, but for now, these are my first impressions.
Thank you for the game - good luck with whatever you make next!
Awesome game 10/10! Thank you so much for the update!!!!
even if you dont like shmups or think you're bad at them, practice a bit, and this gets really fun. The art and music (the update has new of both) is gorgeous as well.
Very fun shmup. Love the update that came recently.
it's a great game just got updated with a new character and re-balances i enjoy the game in both iterations
what i like :pretty much most of the game great stages,music art ect overall brilliant package
what i dislike: personally i didnt like the change from being able to alternate shot types and special weapons
to having each character be the shot type but thats whatever my biggest gripe is the bonus feature unlock
square because i can't just buy the unlock i want i have instead buy the unlock on one of the four edges
then i can only buy one of the two adjecent unlocks next to the unlocked i unlocked in order to troavel to the unlock i wanted to unlock this is a universally dumb move and it makes unlocking bonuses feel frustrating
and tedious instead of before.
rant over. buy the game, it's good the unlock system was better before the update
excellent shmup that does a good job at communicating its mechanics such as break and rank. the soundtrack is also awesome.
nice shmup.
Textbook definition of hidden gem
came for the action, stayed for the double action
Peak game just got even peaker.
2.0 update after 8 years is real
clean ass, mature ass, good ass shooter.
Tons of content, amazing music, really fun and intuitive scoring system that's easy to learn, hard to master. This and ZeroRanger are probably tied for best indie shmups on Steam. And with 1.5 just around the corner it's about to get even better! Very much recommended.
Try it.
Magnificent, stellar even!
It's very, very good!
This is the definition of a hidden gem.
DOUBLE ACTION AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Great indie shmup, a very vibrant art style, along with a easy to understand yet difficult to master chaining system which feels almost like an extension of Donpachi-style chaining, where you get short bursts of chain windows but then accentuated with big cashout point bonuses for building meter then taking out enemies with a special weapon. Very intense action along with a neat shop system definitely give reason to come back, and the OST and voice options are top notch. Well worth any shmup player's time!
10/10 best indie shmup ever!
