This package contains TWO games: Fire Arrow and Fire Arrow Plus
Fire Arrow is an awesome tribute to 90s arcade shooters. It's full of challenges thrown at you quickly, with all the bonus powers you need, if you manage to collect them in time. Fire Arrow is perfectly engineered to vacuum quarters out of your pocket at an early 1990s lobby or arcade. It didn't exist then, but you can play it now without burning through all your fun money. I highly recommend it.
On the other hand, Fire Arrow Plus is just like a late 1990s sequel that tried too hard. The sprite stretching effects are typical of that era, but not pleasant to look at. In this game you are assaulted with a bullet hell of yoga-ball shots as big as half your ship--even with a tiny hitbox you don't have much of a chance. And the boss ships, while they look cool, they fill the whole screen area and sweep across in patterns that look unavoidable. In the late 90s, after spending two quarters I would have wandered to a different lobby.
Conclusion:
Definitely buy this to play Fire Arrow!
But if you find Fire Arrow Plus as frustrating as I did, just ignore it and stick with the original.
This is not one but 2 deliciously bite-sized shooters together in one package. The audio and visual presentation are top notch and the game is fun and challenging without becoming burdensome.
You spend a short time period, either 3 or 5 minutes playing a randomized selection of enemy waves and special event mini-bosses and fight a regular boss at the end. Repeat for high scores.
I'm more impressed than I expected to be. The game really delivers on aesthetics and play.
Fantastic caravan that flows incredibly well once you start learning the patterns. The game is set up so that even clearing the caravan modes are goals at the beginning. It can be very hard at first, but once you start finding the game's rhythm, you can see real improvement. Getting that 5min clear took me several hours of work, and now I want to go back just to get a better score. Going from one game to the next does involve a few more button presses than necessary (quit to menu, then restart the run), but is still very snappy and can be done in two seconds.
The scoring system is simple, yet perfectly fits the game. Uses a dropping medal system, where the medal value decreases on death or bomb use. You can chain enemy kills to get the medals to drop, and collecting enough medals increases the score. Simple, but it feels good to see your items increase in size the longer you go. The only downside to score chasing is that the patterns are randomly chosen from a pool, so RNG can alter what shows up, affecting drops. However, it's not enough to offset just playing well.
Highly recommended for people that want a caravan shooter with a bit more depth.
A interesting game that i recommend with some reservations. The game play is tight, with good and precise controls, the presentation (both audio and graphics) is excelentand simple but fun bullet patterns that feel like a classic shmup from the early 90s . Basicaly is a toaplan inpired game with a single stage with time limit, but believe me in that short period you will have a really intense experience. It has a rank that changes the gameplay. The better you play the harder it gets. Unfortunaly the difficulty is high even for a shmup and probably some gamers won´t reach later parts of the stage that are much more interesting than the early ones. You may get to a point that will find the experiencce repetitive as you repeat those early parts that are not bad , but are not that great either. I would also would apreciate that there could be a button to a quick restart as sometimes you may have a early bad run and you have to pause, go to the menu and restart all over again. Considering the relation quality price and other offers in the market i can´t recomend this game at full price for the reasons mentioned above. I bought it with a big discount and i am quite satisfied. Very good game for short bursts.
it always impresses me when a game absolutely NAILS recreating an older era. this feels like something from the mid-90s that i'd be running on mame lol
The best caravan shooter I've ever played. The art direction in this game is something to behold. It's as if the designer read my diary and created a game perfectly suited to my tastes. BUY IT.
Vertical space shooter. Tight controls. Fast reflex based gameplay. Interesting and original boss mechanics. Gorgeous retro presentation and graphics. Rocking audio. Very challenging and rewarding.
Listed on the Shoot 'em up Database
The longest five minutes of your life... This is essentially a single-level bullet hell shmup, but that single level mutates and iterates so many different ways that there is easily a full game worth of content. If this came out in the 90's, it's the type of thing that the old GameFan magazine would have salivated endlessly over. Hard as nails, but HIGHLY recommended. Another reviewer pointed out the Treasure influence and I have to agree. The dev has a bunch of other high-quality shooters a well and every one is well worth playing.
Great-playing and great looking shooter.
The art style gives off a Toaplan/R-Shark vibe.
Somewhat fun but very straight forward vertical shoot 'em up. Reasonable price point, particularly when on sale.
One of the best shmups on steam. This package has great value since it includes both Fire Arrow and Fire Arrow Plus. The games feature fantastic music, solid controls and excellent old school pixel graphics. These shoot em ups are caravan style so they are perfect if you only have a few minutes to game and want to jump right into the action.
I usually love classic shoot-em-up games, and Fire Arrow Plus delivers on the graphics, enemy design, and snappy retro music that you would expect from a strong entry in the genre. Unfortunately, the painfully short sessions and unforgiving/blinding pixel storms on the screen are significant enough drawbacks for me to set this one aside.
I got this game on sale for $0.99 and, although the game has several notable strengths, I didn't really have fun and can't recommend it.
You might be thinking this is merely a single-stage game, but it's quite a bit more than that.
My only complaint is that the options menus feel like debug menus. There are a lot of interesting things to mess with in there...
AWESOME!
I spend a lot of time trawling through Steam lookign for shoot-em-ups and there is nothign better than discovering one you have missed and that turns out to be really good. Fire arrow feels just like a mid 90's Toaplan release from the frantic gameplay, lush graphics and awesome music and presentation. After flipping my monitor into TATE mode it felt like i was simply playing a game on MAME. The presentation is perfect and the action intense. I've only given it a quick blast as i found it just before i have to go out but this brief jaunt showed me everything i need to know. I later noticed it was developed by Gryzor whom now with Locomalito is spearheading the new arcade machine releases through Ex-Arcadia. I fully recommend this game, i think it's literally one of the best i've played and i've played hundreds and hundreds of them.
Fire Arrow Plus on steam is a shooting space gem with alive extraneous irritants limits!
Some obligations of being sold into a fun game that can last you 30 minutes or 1 hour if your hardcore enough!
The only gripes i have with this game its really short like so short...gradius 3 can overpass this on being urging longer!
The music is whispering good and cracking rocket upbeat!
The game has little realisticness...really cool shapes and creative designs for the bosses!
Some players might slow them down!But it gets better once u survive juggling demands!
Great sound effects too with radio correspondent effort!
Some unmoored effects with intervention!
Drives you into a insanity inferno and spits out speed quicken action!
Im tapping my watch,and im giving this game a 8.7/10 not bad if its on sale!
So have a space blast of indicating fun love the burrito master
'cofee break shmup' is the best descriptor for this. Games take a couple of minutes at most, and the game loads super quick. If you like shmups, this is a good buy. It's cheap, its fun, its made by someone obviously passionate about these kinds of games, you really cannot go wrong.
One of my favourite shmups on Steam. Graphics, music and overall presentation all absolutely on point. Gameplay is tough as nails but addictive, and very rewarding once you start to rack up the high scores. Stylistically it very much reminds me of the Mega Drive (although greater nerds than I may attest to it looking like something else). Overall if you're like me and have a taste for super fine retro styled shoot'em ups, Fire Arrow Plus is an essential title at an incredibly fair price. Don't hesitate, it's really good stuff!
The Dev is a bit of an enigma, his art and design was inspirational to me when I washed up on the shores of shmups.system11.org.
This game is balls to the wall, flat out and not for the feint of heart.
---------(Now imagine this is a fantasy retro system)----------
It's packed full of Huge sprites, technically impressive and creative boss battles, a myriad of cool, "treasure-esque", scaling and rotating tricks; and masterful, real hardware, Megadrive music by Heavy Viper....
and it's well worth your money,
You are buying these Guy's dream machine, it's been overclocked and it's being pushed to the limit's
Really fun game. It's the first caravan shmup I've played that's ever grabbed me. Played more than 10 hours in a few days. Can't decide whether the original or the "half-sequel/half-remake" is better, and how is that not a good thing?
Very good and very fast. Perfectly suited for when you need a quick fix; Tate works like a charm :).
