Solar Shifter EX ist ein Science-Fiction Shoot 'em up mit der einzigartigen Möglichkeit zu "shiften". Der Spieler warpt sich mitten in die Action und steuert sein Raumschiff in fremden Galaxien und weit entfernten Planetenoberflächen durch brenzlige Kampfsituationen.

Die einzige Waffe ist das Schiff selbst: Der "Phase Shifter" ist ausgestattet mit einem einzigartigen Sprung-Antrieb der es dem Piloten ermöglicht, bei Bedarf per schnellem Sprung aus brenzligen Situationen entkommen. Diese Technik ist von extremer Wichtigkeit, um dem Kugelhagel zu überstehen, der das Schiff von allen Seiten bedroht.

Dank der Storyline, die sich über zahllose Welten erstreckt, trifft der Spieler auf mächtige Gegnerflotten und wunderschöne Landschaften; dabei immer das eine Ziel im Kopf: Das sterbende Sonnensystem unter allen Umständen lebend verlassen.

STORY
Kurz nachdem die Menschheit das Sonnensystem verließ, um neue Welten zu kolonialisieren mussten wir uns einer mächtigen Alienrasse stellen. Der Krieg ist vorrüber, die Verluste verheeren; der Gegner hatte uns besiegt. Als finalen Schlag werden sie die Sonne zerstören, die dem System, das wir unsere Heimat nennen, das Leben schenkte.
Chaos breitete sich aus und Piraten plünderten die Kolonien unserer Brüder am Rand unseres Systems.

FEATURES

Die einzigartige "Shift" Mechanik bringt ein völlig neues Level an Tiefe in ein Shmup
18 knallharte Missionen
8 wunderschöne Umgebungen
Über 40 Gegnertypen erwarten dich
Upgrade dein Schiff
4 spielbare Schiffe: dein Hauptschiff und drei Alienschiffe. Steuere mächtige Alienkampfschiffe, die die Allierten Mächte mit leichtigkeit dezimieren.

Ich habe das Spiel als Gamestar Vollversion erhalten und finde es ist eines der bisher schlechtesten Spiele, die ich darüber erhalten habe. Es ist auf der einen Seite technisch veraltet, bietet aber auch auf der Gameplay oder Story Seite keinerlei Spaß. Es ist einfach schlecht, durch und durch, ich weiß nicht was ich mehr dazu sagen kann. 1/10, nicht kaufen, bitte weitergehen.

This game is a bit mediocre but it's not bad and doesn't deserve the hate it's getting on Steam. I paid 99 cents for the game today on sale and I have already gotten my moneys worth and then some. For the 4.99 standard price, I still don't think it's a bad game and it definitely doesn't deserve the hate and negative reviews.

The graphics aren't going to blow anyone away but it's meant to have old-school vibes and it does in my opinion and does a decent job of being challenging but doable and fun as well. Don't get me wrong though, you will die again and again, I just got to the shadow hub on my first playthrough and even that was quite the challenge as I must have died around 100 times or so!

I love the trading cards and the achievements are what makes the game worth going through for me as I like beating games that not many are able to and this is one of them.

There's a decent variety of levels and enemies I have seen already and the shifting ability actually does make the game different than other shoot em ups that are a bit similar.

I will definitely be going back to the game to see if I can make it to the finish and if you like classic old-school shoot em ups i will go ahead and give the nod and recommend the game, especially at the 99 cent 80 percent off sale price. By the way, I've looked at the negative reviews and they are mostly either outdated or just blatant lies. I have been playing in 4k at 60fps with no drops in frames at all and no problems with an xbox controller as you can play with right stick for shifting and right trigger for shooting or A for shooting and X for shifting and it works great. Also there's no problem with collisions or hit detection, the reviewers just have to git gud.

I went going into this game expecting the worst based on the reviews from the Steam community and was pleasantly surprised as it is not bad and just mediocre which is not a bad thing for 99 cents. I might have trouble recommending it for anywhere near the 5 dollars confidently but for the sale price I think it's worth it.

Not nearly as bad as you may expect from a game with Mostly Negative reviews in Steam. Seriously, for a $4.99 game that is often on sale for, like, $1? It's not even that bad of a deal. First of all, the game looks surprisingly good. Not in high tech way, of course, but everything here shines and explodes, so, it looks pretty impressive. In a way, it reminds me of 3dfx days and games like INCOMING. If you know what I mean. There are just so many basic effects that... well, it's spectacular. Music is also surprisingly rich and satisfying. So, you get this game for a buck? It can actually entertain you for an hour or two. It's totally playable and, like I said, presentation is quite fine. So, what's wrong with this game? Why everybody's hating it so much?

Well, it's not like people are hating the game. There's nothing here to make you hate it. It's just... it's so dull that... it's impossible to give it a thumb up. See, Solar Shifter EX? Even though you won't find it on mobiles, it does feel like a dumb mobile shovelware. No different ships (well, technically you'll switch to the other ships for certain levels, but you won't be able to properly purchase them and use in a proper way), no different weapons to pick up, not enough variety (most of the time you'll just shoot the same exact enemies flying in the same exact patterns), no special powers (you can either shoot or not shoot here, there's nothing else), no difficulty selection, no unlockables, nothing. No two players mode either. The game feels like it was supposed to be played on touchscreen, not something you're supposed to play with gamepad. The only interesting thing about this game is a pretty cute little dodging system, but honestly, it's hardly worth mentioning.

Another bad thing about this game is that your skill doesn't really matter here. I mean, it's not like you need much skill to win (the game is laughably easy, so, if you've played games like IKARUGA before, you'll literally fall asleep in Solar Shifter EX), but the thing is – the game would try to simulate 3D environment. Up to the point where it'll feel a bit like an on-rail shooter. Remember NOVASTORM? AKA Scavenger 4 from FM Towns? Reminds me a little bit of what we had there. And, of course, such stuff never feels good. Pretty spectacular, sure, but with all that moving environment you just don't feel in control. At least, not all the time. Which is, like, the worst thing you can ever do in the genre. Again, it doesn't ruin this exact game completely, since, like I said, it's very easy, but still, it doesn't feel good. Especially since I have a couple of questions about hitboxes here too.

So... ye-a-a-a-ah... Even though Solar Shifter EX is far from being the worst thing you can get in Steam for a single buck (at least it isn't a scam, right?), it also isn't something I can recommend. Solar Shifter EX is one of those games that you can ignore without risking to lose anything. Literally. Anything. As a mobile game it'll totally have more value. I mean this kind of stuff? It's exactly what I like having on go. Really can't understand people who enjoy playing all those games with deep gameplay and complicated stories while they're out. With so much distractions, why ruining the experience for yourself? Games like this, that's what I like having on me while I'm drinking my morning coffee. But since there's no mobile option here, thumb down is the only way to rate Solar Shifter EX. It's just way, way too dumb and limited for PC game. And with so many games to choose from? Like I said, it's one of those games that feel like a complete waste of time. Dixi.

This is not exactly horrible, as you can probably see from a lot of the other reviews. It reminds me a lot of the awkward yet occasionally entertaining Sega CD shooters, especially in the way the well-rendered backgrounds seem strangely disconnected from the action. I can't say it seems too punishing from my brief time with it but I don't think I'll be spending much more time with it because:
a. It's kinda ugly.
b. There's no telling what elements of the background you can collide with and which are simply windowdressing. This includes enemy ships, and I've already spent too much time shooting at enemies I later realized were not really on the plane of action.
c. The Galaxian-esque waves of baddies are pretty boring.
d. The 'shifting' mechanism isn't bad, but it's not really that exciting either.

If you're an old school bullet hell maniac, you will probably get a kick of this. Otherwise, I'd steer clear.

Keeping it short...
Interesting Bullet Hell game.
Camera changes position often, which make it weird to play the game, especially when you using the teleportation move.

Overall: It's another one of many bullet hell games, which i'm tired of...

Great graphics, probably one the best looking shmup on PC, great music and... that is all that is great about this game.

The gameplay mechanics are poor and boring, you dont get any fun from it, just pure frustration at best sometimes.

There is a shift option which allows you to teleport quickly on the screen, sound neat yeah? Well in practice it is annyoing and chaotic. There is no super weapon or bombs like a proper shmup should have to help out in dire situations, you have an upgrade system for your weapons, problem is I did several upgrades and they shoot exactly the same as when I started the game. Overall the game is really bad, I tried to force myslelf to at least finish it once but it was just too frustrating and boring. There isnt even any difficulty option.

Stay away or satisfy your curiosity when it cost 1$
