Zero Ranger

Zero Ranger is a shmup from 2017 that I recently found and have been having fun with. It runs on stock wine out of the box and is playable, however there are some tweaks that improve the quality of the experience.

NVIDIA-based machines may have difficulty with running this. Ive experienced issues with both stock and dxvk. However, dxvk has had more consistency in working compared to stock.

Playability Platinum
Tweak Effort Hellish
