New edition of ‘SturmFront - The Mutant War’ promises a Gaming Heaven of Bullet Hell

Let me tell y’all something.  I’m old. 

I don’t mean like, ACTUALLY old. I haven’t started carrying loose change, and I still don’t mind if a kid or two walk across my lawn while they play their Hippity-Hop music.  I’m just old enough to use the phrase, “Hey, I’m old,” to describe my occasional indifference towards games that require me to use real-time strategy and heads up displays to sink me in the middle of a war zone.  

Sometimes, I just want to shoot s**t.

Fortunately, there are developers out there that understand the need for aerial-view carnage.  Like the German indie studio Andrade Games, whose new arcade shooter, Sturmfront - The Mutant War: Übel Edition, was released this week.  

Übel Edition is a remake of Andrade’s debut game, designed to provide fans of the original with enhancements that will provide a bigger, better, and bloodier experience.  

Siegfried Von Hammerstein - which should be Old Nordic for “General Badassery'' - is the protagonist that we all need, a war-ready cyborg that is humanity’s last hope against the alien/mutants that have brought Earth to its knees in an apocalyptic 1984.  

Follow me for more incredible sentences like that.  Also, try to watch this trailer and NOT get gassed up.  I literally dare you. 

In a release announcing the game, Andrade describes Übel Edition as a “love letter to arcade culture … [which] stands for uncompromising action, fair challenge and uncensored artistic vision freed from societal norms.”   

I’m still deciding if I’m going to squeal “pew-pew” or “bang-bang” when I play it. This quandy shall plague me for hours, probably. 

Sturmfront - The Mutant War: Übel Edition is available now for PC on Steam
