Ultionus: A Tale of Petty Revenge
About
Galactic hero Serena S has been trolled on Spacebook. This is obviously a cause to embark on an epic quest to punish the troll in question, who just happens to be The Space Prince. Guide Serena through 7 stages of shmup action, jumping, shooting, and yet decidedly more jumping and shooting to her ultimate goal of total testicular annihilation of her foe. Ultionus is a love-letter to the home computer arcade games of the late 80s and early 90s, particularly Halloween Harry, Astro Marine Corps, Duke Nukem 2 and especially Phantis/Game Over II. The game features tons of lovingly crafted pixel art, and a rockin' chiptune soundtrack by the legendary Jake 'Virt' Kaufman.

Very on the fan-the game is heavily mowing under the retro, all sorts of endlessly dormant enemies as in 8-bit, the music is also on that level, cute pixel art from the era already 16 bits. Would be a good arcade, if you could shoot on the move and not only in the forward/diagonal up-because the enemies are different and sometimes amusing. It is interesting To watch, but it is played so-so.

A Game of amateurs. If You like pixel graphics, platformers and hardcore, or, in short, all the famous Oldschool games-the game you recommend. If you need a Grabfon™, shaders, "Press X to win"-better pass by, for nothing spend money.
Describe platformer-No special meaning, run, jump and shoot. Of the features-for the points earned you can buy additional equipment from a special NPC (which is still to be found). Well and it is necessary to note that the map is not quite linear-almost any level can pass several ways.
Oh. Still in the game there are tits. It's a plus, a lizard.

As A colleague has said this is a kind of remake-homage to a great classic of the Spanish software of the 80, Phantis de Dinamic. For now I have just over an hour of play but I am hallucinating with the spirit Eighties and arcade that owns this title. It Has a very good gameplay and a lot of difficulty, with a little practice you will be able to advance more and more throughout the game and it will sting you gradually to Overarte. Its graphic aspect is worthy of any super production of the 80-90 and enjoys a great soundtrack. From my point of view it is totally advisable to all those who like classic video games.
Still not encouraged to try it? You Don't know what you're missing!

-GRAPHICS: High quality Pixel art, both in animations and in design. The game follows a retro style, inspired by the original 1987.
-SOUND: Impressive soundtrack. The best Thing about the game, I should actually put this in the first place. The effects are appropriate.
-GAMEPLAY: The game is not intended to be a crazy Plataformero shooter because the developer has been worried about maintaining the rhythm and spirit of the original version, both in gameplay, as in levels and enemies. If It has been allowed to give a facelift and a few details to improve it and make it bigger, but somehow, remains true to the original idea.
Personally it took me five hours To finish it and get all the achievements. It is Also Not an excessively difficult game, although the difficulty can be regulated.
-PLOT: Do Not take to deceive, is not a macho game, actually this game tells the story of a woman kicks the ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ a machirulo.
In short: Great homage to the Phantis, very large. This Game brings the 16-bit style remastering that was never made from the original Dinamic. Buy it, if you spent the classic 80 or you like retro, you will not be disappointed at all.
