How many of you remember Asteroids for the Atari 2600? *Sigh*…okay, imagine if you can, being limited to a controller with one button on it. You pointed your ship (triangle) in a direction and thrust, then rotated on your axis and spammed the fire button. “SCHAR: Blue Shield Alliance” is a twin stick shooter that takes that concept one step further and allows you to move freely while firing in the direction you are pointing. You can thrust left or right (strafing) in addition to moving forward and back, depending on where your cursor is located (if you’re using a keyboard). Before we start getting into specifics, I wanted to thank Nick Puleo for setting me up with a free review copy of the game.
