Way back in June of 2015, Suminell Studios their throwback horizontal shoot 'em up Z-Exemplar. They used the classic 8-bit gaming computer ZX Spectrum as their inspiration for how the game should look and play, and appeared to be nailing the authenticity to an incredible degree. Updates on the game's progress were fairly frequent through the rest of 2015, but then things went oddly silent until this past August when the developers saying they had been quietly toiling away on the game and that it was finally feature complete. The game finally in November, and then about a week ago, and at long last Z-Exemplar [] has also arrived on iOS as of this morning. Here's a look at the launch trailer from the Steam release.
Z-Exemplar boasts a whopping 960(!) different planets to battle on and ultimately conquer, with 10 unique planetary themes. There's more than 20 different types of weapons to equip and upgrade along with "hundreds" of enemy types to use them on. Overall, it sounds like Z-Exemplar has a great amount of content, and the App Store description states 16+ hours of gameplay. Pretty impressive for a shoot 'em up! It's also a fully paid game with no IAP which is always nice to see. You can check out what others are saying about the game as well as get a bit more info on the iOS version via screens and animated gifs by , but if you're a shooter fan and enjoy the aesthetics of games from the '80s then Z-Exemplar should be right up your alley.
