A shmup/bullet hell-cum-arena fighter is a helluva pitch and G.rev delivers - this is a blast and after running through arcade mode I'm v pumped to try out the rest of the cast. Popping off your special to turn into a shmup boss and rain hell on your opponent is terrifically satisfying, though actually dodging attacks in that mode is a motherfucker when the placement of fire being thrown at you is not consistent by design. Still, you're never entirely without the means to dodge around and the options for regular combat (main shot and subweapon, with different effects depending on whether you're attacking while guarding or dashing) are streamlined enough to be fairly easy to get a handle on while still offering decent variety, at least at first blush. This is such a rad idea for a game and I'm glad it exists!
