I had high hopes for this game aswell

Whoever described this as an Amiga game is spot on.
Gameplay on this is totally unfair and is not fun to play at all.
The waves of the enemies seems to be the same all thru out.
Also, the highest res possible is 1280 x 1024 (other one being 1024 x 768) which is disappointing as I have a 24" Dell that supports 1920 x 1200.
Really disappointed in this one. It seems the euro people can't make shooters as good as the Japanese at all...

Played this on friday. Still find it astonishing that there are people out there who claim to love shooters yet develop release games that play like Project X. This is worse than Last Hope in my eyes, just nasty. Some of the power ups made me laugh out loud! And the difficulty level is just off the chart at times. Absolute pile of fetid excreta.Comment

I feel like an outcast here but I have to say that I love Project X and that I ordered S?ldner-X because the Youtube clips brought back some memories (WinUAE was fired up that day). When I read the two games being linked together in a negative way I was freaked out.
It must be said that I'm not a huge shooter fan. I've yet to get this running but I'll post my opinion when I do.Comment

They say a lot of bull**** about how they are advancing the genre. The fact that they have digs at the so called weaknesses of old-skool shooters is hilarious.
They come across as people who haven't got a clue about shooters, or have any understanding of quality, or brilliance.
Having hardware that enables shiny effects is one thing, making a good game is a whole other ball game.
At least it makes me appreciate the quality found in my favorite shooters, even more.

Yeah i agree there
oh and for the record i did like project x at the time.....just i like more from my shooters now days......just blowing things up doesnt do it for me any more for me the shooter needs a hook
this game does have a scoring hook .....but its wrapped around poorly balanced gameplay and really weedy weapons and that makes it no fun
fact is there are lots of doujin games that are just more fun.....look at imperishable night by zun.....thats a game made by one guy i think but that is just so much more fun and it looks and sounds pretty decent toLast edited by eastyy; 28-12-2007, 19:01.Comment

Been playing some more of this (mag review) and it just keeps on annoying me. The chaining system is bloody nuts. Why on god's green earth should you be forced to use a naff weapon you don't want to use in order to be able to power it up? And then when it is powered up it makes hardly any difference to the weapon's power and gives you a crap power-up.
why can't there just be individual power bars that slowly build up over time depending on which weapon you use.
What really frustrates with Soldner X is that it actually has the potential to be really good, you can actually see a decent shooter in there.
It's arguably better than many other Euro shmups that are available, but that's not really high praise. In my opinion they should have said something like, let's try and make a shooter better than Gradius V instead of settling for Project bloody X and Aphidia...Comment
