Description
About This Game
Shin Sophstar pushes the Sophstar experience further. Far beyond a reimagining, it’s a high-octane remix built from the ground up for speed, precision, and scoring. Inspired by the golden era of 90s arcade shooters, it delivers an experience that feels instantly familiar, yet entirely new.
Designed with a stronger focus on speed and scoring, Shin Sophstar features shorter, more intense stages and a more dynamic gameplay flow. Ship switching is deeply integrated into the scoring system, encouraging strategic play, experimentation, and route optimization for those chasing high scores!
