If you’re looking for something to pick up and play this weekend, then might I recommend the Steel Empire 3DS port? It normally runs for $29.99 on the Nintendo eShop, but is currently going for just $9.99.
Those unfamiliar with the relatively obscure horizontal shooter might find its steampunk aesthetic pleasing. You can choose to fight with either a plane or a blimp, but of course you’re going to pick the blimp nearly every time.
The Sega Genesis shooter was originally created by HOT-B, with the 3DS remake being developed by Mebuis. The 3DS version received fairly good reviews from respectable outlets. So if horizontal shooters are your thing, there’s no reason not to give it a shot.
We’d like to start posting about Sega deals more often again, so if you spot a sale going on, please let us know!

I really like this shooter. I was excited to see a 3DS remake to fill a gap of shmups on the system that I’m still surprised by as the 3D really adds something by ‘popping out’ the bullets. But I waited till it was half price as $30 was more than I wanted to pay. 9.99 is a great deal too. The GBA version is maybe my favorite
