Incredible port of one of CAVE's best arcade shmups - take my review of the original DOJ and paste it here. What's new is a maybe-too-easy Super Easy mode, some varied, tricky alternative arranges, and an array of quality of life features like M2's signature info gadgets, hitbox indicator toggles, and in-depth practice options for individual areas.
Lately I've been using shmups as games I only play while exercising on my spin bike - the focused required for these games keeps me in the zone and prevents me from getting bored and quitting my ride early. Some of the trickier bullet patterns become way more challenging this way, however the approach is quickly making me a better player overall and opening up the fun of the genre through repeated play. For now this one goes back on the shelf as I explore more shmups but there's definitely plenty more here for when I eventually circle back.
