I've picked up Astralbringer (crazy mouse shmup, not actually on sale but that dev prices low and doesn't really do Steam sales), Shikhondo: Blue Pieta (horizontal scrolling shmup), Revo (fast kinda janky gallery shmup), and Beyond Solar (scrolling shmup).
I'm looking into Star Vortex and Star Solar (both space ARPGs), but one has a lengthy demo, so I'll spend some time with that for context on those. Space ARPG action standards feel like they are depressingly low, which can be frustrating where there are good space fighters out there with richer action, like Radio Free Europa and Galak-Z, just not things with wider scope for gear and play instead of simple runs. I wish I could mush them together.
So kinda tame sale, and I've obviously been feeling pretty shmuppy lately (and I've got a loooot of those already to play :), but I've also got Denshattack release to look forward to on the 15th, depending on price.
No Summer Sale complaints here. Saw several games I often price check around sales take nice drops this time, so deals are out there.
