ZeroRanger feels like a lovingly assembled mix-tape featuring the best bits across all of shmup history. Developed by System Erasure and released Friday, it’s a vertically scrolling arcade shooter with a striking colour palette, simple control scheme and more knowing nods than a scholars-only metal concert. I spent a bit of yesterday playing it, and while I’ve not mastered it well enough to call any breakdown a review, I’ve had enough fun to easily recommend this to genre fans, and worth a shot at for the rest or you. Below, the launch trailer plus a demo.
