Two seconds into this, when the hideous screenshake effect became apparent, I knew it wasn't for me. It's a nice-enough looking, OK-ish-enough-playing shmup, but it lacks an understanding of why people who really like shmups really like them, prioritizing flashiness, a completely useless narrative, and a stupid-massive stable of different ship types over any kind of rhythm or balance in the gameplay.
