![]() I guess that can be explained by departure Raptor's artists from Cygnus, which became Mountain King Studios after that. In Demonstar credits, the programmer Scott Host is also shown as artists. And while he's a better artist than me, and it would be too harsh to call the result "programmer's art", the lack of touch by a true artist is felt in this game. "Secret Missions", however, seem to rectify this somewhat.īut the worst thing about Demonstar, is that, design-wise, it's nearly Anti-Raptor. DemonStar is a game action developed by Mountain King Studios Inc. There is no shop and there is no save system (instead, we get arcade-like continues, like the game was developed for a console!). Originally released in United States, Australia, Worldwide in 1997. PLAY DEMONSTAR ONLINE DOWNLOADĬurrently you can download and play the game for Windows. Since all weapons are picked up in level, and you lose all weapons when you die, all levels are balanced so that player can even beat them with the simplest weapon (on Normal difficulty). DemonStar takes shooters to the extreme with Multiplayer/Network capabilities, Force Feedback joystick support, 3-D rendered graphics, explosive sound effects, and a brilliant soundtrack. This means there are no really hard waves in levels and there are generally no hard levels. One thing Demonstar HAS in common with Raptor is boring bosses. ![]() The most thrilling vertical scrolling shooter on the market DemonStar takes shooters to the extreme with Multiplayer/Network capabilities, Force Feedback. While in Raptor they were to big, and there wasn't much room to move in, in Demonstar, they are just stupid and unvaried.Īll in all, I think Demonstar is a "dumbed down" shooter compared to Raptor. ![]() I think sacrifices were made to make it multiplayer - this is why it doesn't have a shop, for example, so that players wouldn't spend several minutes picking the best weapon between levels, and also it's the reason for Continues system. I guess the demand for multiplayer scroll-shooters proved to be not very high on PC, because Demonstar remained deservedly little-known, even compared to Raptor. ![]()
