Shogun: Rise of the Renegade
Android Police coverage: [New Game] Shogun Rise Of The Renegades Brings "Bullet Hell" To Android With Hours Of Flying Bullets, Sheer Chaos
Welcome to bullet hell, population you. Most likely, population 0 within a few minutes of the start, because this game is tough. Really tough. At least it was for me, and I played it for the majority of my flight from the U.S. to Barcelona for MWC. The fact that you don't have checkpoints in the middle of each level makes it much-much harder to complete, but your victories are that much sweeter. If you get any.
The demo of this highly addictive and extremely well done game, which Romain Guy called his favorite Android game of all time, contains one level, and the full version contains 4 levels. Believe me when I say it though, those 4 levels will take you a while.
--
Shogun is a shoot’em up inspired by Japanese arcade games of the 90’s. "We created this game as a tribute to the old-school manic shooters (aka bullet hell or danmaku) but enhanced with a modern, touch based game-interface and easy to read HD graphics. As gamers ourselves, our first goal was to create a game that we wanted to play."

What actually happened is a whole different story... Heist tells the thrilling story of a daring bank robbery set in the prohibition era of 1920’s America. A carefully comprised plan with as little mess as possible turns horribly wrong, leaving you to fight your way out of an impossible situation. What are you willing to do to come out on top?
You begin the story as a low level enforcer for the mafia working under the enigmatic Salvatore Da Luca, a veteran from the recently ended Great War. Once he inspired acts of valor in the trenches, now he uses those same qualities for greed and corruption by liberating banks of their excess holdings. Sal doesn’t work alone, his trusted associate Giuseppe Gallo always teams up for the score. He’s known as the loose cannon who can wind up being more trouble than he’s worth. Shoot first; ask question later is how he operates. He has a grudge with the world, and he’s not too fond of you either. You better make sure not to put a foot wrong. The bank just opened and the scores all set, are you in?
FEATURES
• Fast-paced rail shooter action
• Action packed gun fights
• Many weapons to gut the bank
• Destructible environments
