Playism and Imagos Softworks are excited to announce that Starr Mazer: DSP is coming to Early Access August 26th, 2016.
The highly anticipated prequel to Starr Mazer, Starr Mazer: DSP, was born as a passion project during the development of its bigger brother, the point-and-click SHMUP hybrid, Starr Mazer.
Starr Mazer: DSP
Starr Mazer: DSP is a side-scrolling shoot’em up in the same vein as classics like Gradius and Lords of Thunder with a roguelike twist on the traditional lives/continues system. Players take control of a squadron of DSP pilots with different ships, weapon loadouts and voices. Your mission is to battle through nine frantic arcade levels, countless waves of enemies, 3 powerful bosses, and take down the G’ell Super Ship in a single run.
The citizens of Thersa-CPIX are at war and we’re not sending one hero to the fight, we’re sending EVERYONE!
