Shoot-em ups, also known as "shmups", are games where you control a craft and wage war against enemy troops. This genre is hugely popular with titles like Deathsmiles or Mars Matrix demonstrating how different they can be in difficulty and complexity.

Mechanical Star Astra aims to be a bridge between the two ends of this spectrum. A Novice Mode allows for seamless entry for new players, while more difficult routes are available to experienced players. There are also many tutorials, strategies, and challenges that can be broken down into bite-sized pieces. You can make the game as difficult or easy as you like.

Mechanical Star Astra is a way to become a member the New Humanity. It allows you to live in a shell of what was once our Earth. It is full of berserks looking to wipe out your species. It's up to the user to pick a Machina Striker ship to go on the destruction of these monsters. It's time for you to stop another apocalypse.

Five stages are available, each lasting around 30 minutes. Choose your ship from the vast array of options and fight. Each choice requires a different play style and has its own set of mechanics. This makes it an exciting experience every time you play. You can either play solo or in co-op mode. This allows you to bring a friend along to the battle. This case calls for tactical operation.

The gameplay is well integrated with the design. It's animated and vivid, but retains the arcade pixel-art style. The huge explosions look amazing, and the bullets scattering your screen make it feel like you're at the center of the action.

Mechanical Star Astra is a classic arcade game that makes older players feel nostalgic. The modern, highly customizable ships and weapons, as well as the co-op mode, offer something for younger gamers. This demo has the potential to become a popular title.
