Item Description

Among shoot 'em up devotees, Astro Port is a name passed around like a well-kept secret: a small Japanese doujin studio that builds shooters with the craft and swagger of the great arcade developers. Shmup Collection brings three of its games together on the Switch, and each one scratches a different itch.

Satazius Next is the headliner, a horizontal shooter that wears its love of Konami's Gradius openly. Instead of grabbing power-up capsules, you level your main weapon and sub-weapons as you fight, and the power you build up can be cut loose as one huge attack that wipes out most of the screen. The stages are clever rather than cluttered, leaning on smart layouts and terrain instead of walls of bullets, and this enhanced version adds an arranged soundtrack, reworked bullet patterns and brighter visuals.

Armed 7 DX trades the sleek starfighter for a heavy combat mech. You pick your weapons, then aim and lock your guns in different directions as the screen scrolls sideways, upgrading your arsenal rather than losing it. A refillable shield replaces the usual stock of lives, so a stray hit costs you protection instead of your firepower, and a devastating super weapon is there for emergencies once it slowly recharges. It is tough but fair, and the sheer bulk of the mech gives every firefight a satisfying, clanking weight.

Wolflame rounds things out as the most traditional of the three: a vertical shooter built on precise movement and learning enemy waves, with tanks the size of skyscrapers rolling in as the stages escalate. It also offers a tate mode for players who like to turn the Switch on its side and play a vertical shooter the way arcade cabinets presented them.

Taken together, the set is a crash course in what modern indie shmups do well: three distinct takes on the genre, all built around score chasing and steady mastery, from a studio that understands why the classics felt so good under your thumbs. If you have played every Gradius and still want more, Satazius Next alone makes this collection worth tracking down.
