If we are doing demos too, there is also the Boomer Shooter ‘Selaco’ on Steam. It’s just the first level in the demo and there isn’t much story so far. But it looks very promising I think and we play as Dawn, a female Captain and murder a bunch of terorist that want to blow us up. They want to announce their release date next quarter.

Another Boomer Shooter with a female lead is ‘Ion Fury’. This one has already released some years ago. We play Shelly ‘Bombshell’ Harrison and are part of the Global Defense Force. After a long shift we want to settle down with a nice drink as an explosion causes us to spill it and cyborg cultists led by an evil Dr. want to take over, so we go murder them.

Staying with shooters there is also ‘Nightmare Reaper’ where we play a female mental patient and the levels are her dreams which are created proceduraly and I guess we cleanse them of her nightmares.

Back to demos but a completely different genre: ‘Sea of Stars’. An old school rpg, kinda reminds me of Chrono Trigger gameplay wise. It’s made by the folks who made ‘The Messenger’, different genre again and no female protagonist in this one. But in there was a story tidbit about two kids with the power of the moon and the sun who saved the world a long time ago. We play those kids and the kid with the power of the moon is a girl. Again, just a demo on Steam so far but it looks very fun and releases on the 29th of August.

What constitutes a good game is obviously very subjective and as probably became very clear I like me some Boomer Shooter where the story doesn’t necessarily needs to be the focus, but that won’t be to everyones taste.
