Inspired by the side-scrollers/shooters of the 90s, Finnish developer Dreamloop Games has made a game in Stellar Climax that rolls gameplay elements from shmups, beat 'em ups, and RPGs into one arcade shooter package. Players can choose to pilot one of five mechs, each with its own superweapon and special ability, and then set off to save the future across the 30-stage campaign. Once you're done doing that, you can play again in the new New Game Plus mode, or put your skills to the test in the Gauntlet (endless high-score) and Challenge modes. Four player couch co-op is supported throughout all of the game modes, so you should definitely invite a few friends over to play.
