Described as a “vertical Bullet Hell style shmup,” Defenders of Avalon allows you to play either as Arthur (with a wider shot pattern) or Merlin (more focused shots, plus chargeable alternative fire) against hordes of enemies, including multi-stage boss fights that can easily turn into real nightmares. Just check out the attached screenshot and you will know what I mean.
Of course, the most important part of Defenders of Avalon is that it’s available for free – an indie game like this would usually set you back at least $10, so getting it for free can automatically be considered a gem. It’s not perfect, it’s not flawless, but it manages to provide extreme, intense action and is at the same time challenging but not insanely difficult, making it a great choice for fans of the vertical shooter genre.
