About This Game

When Aliens take over most of our technology and use it to attack our cities, it's time for Saviors to start blowing stuff up. Join the ride of our three daredevils, sponsored by a crazy billionaire as they fight the evil that is everything that moves.

Saviors is a top-down shoot 'em up that can either be played in a modern way one stage at a time or in a classic arcade style that challenges you to your bones. Three different game modes and four difficulty levels allow you to progress at your own pace and with a style that suits you. Try to finish the story mode once on easy difficulty, or go for the world record in arcade mode. The choice is yours.

Key Features

  • Instant feedback – explosions get bigger the better you're doing
  • 18 full length levels with different environments and enemies
  • Story mode allows the game to be played in short 3 minutes sessions, on a stage by stage style

The CG avatars are bad. Even the animation. Why would they go that route when 2D animation would have served the same function and looked way better?

I guess it doesn't matter when your game is just genuinely fun. Distilled Bullet-Hell Shmup. You can check out my Let's Play here:

Things I love in shmups. Power-ups and Bosses. Refreshingly, the power-ups you choose don't stay anchored to you. You're free to mix it up before any level. You earn new power-ups by performing better in the level via score and score multipliers.

It's a pretty simple formula. If you do well, fun++.

I only went against a few bosses, but they all had their own patterns that required to be learned.

It's very easy to recommend Saviors if you like Shmups / Bullet-Hells.

Visually mediocre and bland as usual in these amateur shooters, but the shooting part is fun. It's not a great challenge if you are really looking for that and the levels are not that varied or deliciously structured but it tries to use new stuff from time to time and has some different modes, and the shooting part is fun. So you have a regular cheap shooter, which its shooting part is fun. Nothing much to say. Oh, the soundtrack is really good, there is just a small bunch of songs but they're vibrant....and fit nicely with the shooting part, which is fun by the way.

6.5/10

Saviors tries to bring the bullethell genre on a next level and misses the point. The gameplay is not comparable to normal shmups. That's ment in a bad way. The gameplay just feels plain. Thr stages aren't that unique. The design hits the standards , but is more generic than outstanding. It doesn't feels rewarding, although you have lots of explosions. The chain system with the explosions and there radii is pretty boring. It feels like you are doing nothing.This changes in the other difficulties however. Not comparable to CCWI and the other boss explosions standards. The appearance of the on the topscreen are making the game in some cases more confusing than fitting. It gets boring pretty fast. The soundtrack isn't unique as well. There is one soundtrack to go for, the one in the trailer. The others are just like "not there!"...they sound monoton. It's a playable little shooter for a short time. You are free to change your loadout i terms of weapons every level. Which is nice. But you don't get an arcad-ish feeling, when playing. That's propably the reason why I dislike this game a bit. Good enough for newcomers and veterans, who want new stuff to appear. It gets a 6/10
