Stargunner is one of my favorite shoot'em up games I ever had! It is a horizontal shoot'em up, and it is one of the most underrated games in shoot'em ups. The pace is fast, and the challenge is superb! The graphics are awesome too, which renders 3D models. You have lots of items to deliver, and you hunt tons of enemies and bosses, which makes this game really fun!
In the game, you control your ship by destroying enemies and dodging obstacles. Not only the enemies attack in front of you, but also side to side and backwards, collecting power-ups and credits are useful to upgrade bonuses and firepower, not to mention extra items as well. The in-game items are credit crystals, weapon upgrades, mega credits, invincibility, extra life, nuke, and shield. The stages also appear "mystery" items, which they are hidden among the stages.
The weapon upgrades increase your firepower, and they come in two forms: pulse and plasma. The problem is when you change your form, like some other shooters, you don't upgrade your firepower. You will have to take the same form to upgrade it. Plasma deals spread firepower, but fairly lack damage, while pulse deals a significant damage straight to enemies, but lacks spread shot. I go for the pulse in boss fights, since it's more powerful, even when you are not close to the bosses.
There are three difficulty levels and 33 stages. The three difficulty levels are Ensign, Captain, and Admiral, which they are easy, medium, and hard, respectively. The stages have 3 themes, and they are space, terrestrial, and aquatic areas, though Stargunner has 4 episodes.
Some things that I criticize are for retaining the credit system of Raptor: Call of the Shadows, with little emphasis on power-ups. Both of those games were published by Apogee software. Stargunner released from 1996, and released as a freeware at 2005. Stargunner also lacked multiplayer, which has the same problem as R-Type series have. The not-so techno music is somewhat mediocre, and the enemies are difficult to encounter.
Overall, Stargunner has its smooth, colorful theme, and it is highly recommended to shoot'em up fans. The game is still freeware.
