Horizon Shift '81 is Launching on Steam and PS4 on Tuesday

Post by DirtyOstrich »

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to let you know I'm releasing my retro SHMUP, Horizon Shift '81, on Steam and PS4 on Tuesday.

It's done surprisingly well on the Switch, here's some reviews.

“There’s no way around it, in my opinion. Horizon Shift 81 is a must have for any Switch owning SHMUP fan. There’s not another shooter like it on the eShop, currently.”
9/10 - The Nintendo Nomad

“I went into this game with high hopes, and they were all met. I didn’t come across a single thing I didn’t like.”
9/10 - The Insatiable Gamer

“This is one of the best shoot 'em ups available on the Nintendo Switch”
(A-) – Defunct Games

"The arcade shooter inspired gameplay puts a fun twist on the classic genre that provides hours of pure, flashy entertainment."
8/10 - The SixthAxis

“Overall, Horizon Shift ’81 is a great time. A unique, fast-paced shooter that oozes enthusiasm and passion”
Thumbs Up – Nintendo Life


Here's the Steam page. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1071 ... _Shift_81/
If you like the look of it, please can you wishlist? I hear it helps with Store positioning and stuff :)

Thanks everyone!

The steam version doesn't at the moment, but I did knock up an arcade build for my cab I could let you have.
