I saw others playing it and I've always been curious about this game so what did I think? It's not a masterpiece like Deathsmiles is to me but man this game is pretty great too. I think I just really love the spectacle of these kind of shmups. Even if I'm awful at them.
You can play as three different characters though I played with only Irori for the game. You can't really swap unless you beat the game or reset the run you're on. You have this normal shot that makes you slower when using it. You also have this stronger projectile that has to recharge very quickly. The best part has to be with the next weapon where you surround yourself with a shield and can shoot huge lasers at the enemies! You can also use it to collect chips and powerups from bullets with the shield which feels very satisfying. Just be careful as you can only restore energy from grabbing energy items or dying.
This game is very challenging as it is a bullet hell. I'm not sure if it's because I've played Deathsmiles a lot so I can get decently far without dying but I felt like this game was harder then that one. Though it's still not the biggest challenge ever at least from other bullet shmups I've seen.
The bosses can be pretty hard and I think it's because I'm too dumb to know where my hitbox is. I know it's small but idk where it is on my sprite. Maybe I'm stupid. It can feel really satisfying to get good dodges on projectiles. That's why I like these games sometimes, even if I'm awful at them I still feel like I'm having a blast.
The game looks pretty good for 1998 and there's some good music here. This game also has cool level end screens. The game did lag for me but I think that's just cause my computer sucks so it's probably fine on real hardware. I also like the voice clip that plays when Irori powers up.
I'm glad I tried this and will gladly replay it next year because man these kind of games can be fun. Maybe someday I'll try to buy a copy on switch if it's cheap. I'm happy to give it a try. If you haven't played this then you are missing out if it interests you. Go play it now!
