A basic game even to 8-bit standards but quite enjoyable nonetheless. It's a run and gun side scroller without enemy pop-in.Pros: Authentic 8-bit vibe, smooth gameplay, satisfying weapons, nice game flow and diverse levels.Cons: 5 enemies being recycled for the entire game, short (~60 min), not challenging (including boss fights).Pick this up if you are looking for some basic 8-bit nostalgia but look elsewhere if you want challenging gameplay.. Stupid quick man lasers aside, this is an awesome 8-bit style ninja gaiden / contra game!. If your like me, and you enjoy hard, challenging, fun 8 bit games, then this is for you. Controls are responsive, the weapon variety is limited, but fun to experiment with. I havent finished it yet, but its truly enjoyable to play. If you came for challenge, challenge is what you'll get.However, like mentioned, the game has quite a small weapon variety compared to the mechanics you could have to pair with the amazing level design. At time, an weapon that would fire on a circular pattern would help, or a weapon that would leave a delayed explosive so you could arrange for kills without putting yourself at risk. Sure, this would break the point of the game being challenge, but this comment is mostly for making an example of how more weapons could compliment the level designs perfectly. Similar to weapons, the enemy variety is mostly prominent on bosses, to the point where the only threat you'll have during stages are going to be stage hazards more than enemies. After a while you just get their attack patterns down and they become more an obstacle than a challenging foe you have to beat to progress. For as much as I like this game, and im willing to 100% it for fun, I'll have to say yes, but not a 10/10. The game is great, yes, and I do recommend it, but it just has a lot of missed opportunities to make it outstanding.This game truly has the potential to become a mindblowing adventure, but it just falls short by a small margin.7/10, great game overall, lacking some mechanics and more enemy diversity, amazing nontheless.. Alien Splatter successfuly nails the NES look besides a few chunkier looking sprites and widescreen. Visually it reminds me of Vice, Ninja Gaiden 3, Batman Return of the Joker and Mega Man 4. The soundtrack is great and you can tell the developer went to hard lengths to get the feel right. Even their logo looks like the Natsume logo from the NES days. Like A Hole New World, Alien Splatter gives me the feeling of loading an NES ROM of a random game up and trying it out for the first time, something Shovel Knight didn't really do for me. Gameplay wise its a run n gun shooter with a decent amount of platforming. You pick up different weapons scattered throughout the stage but unlike Contra these have limited ammo. You can get more ammo through ammo boxes or by picking up the same weapon while you have that one. Level design is genuinely good, as are the boss patterns. You will run into the same enemy throughout the game but hey its only $1 so how can you complain. The stage design, weapon and enemy placement add a layer of strategy for repeat playthroughs, and if you're into speedrunning this game is a great choice for you.With so many garbage games flooding Steam for low prices Alien Splatter is easily worth the money. If you enjoy the NES era you'll easily enjoy Alien Splatter.. This game is one of the best games it's like Contra and the lasers on stage 6 it's like mega man I love 8 bit games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZh7Uv_zDRI. Stupid quick man lasers aside, this is an awesome 8-bit style ninja gaiden / contra game!
