Words can’t begin to explain how amazed I am at this game. I don’t even know where to begin…the attention to detail is absolutely marvelous, the music reminds me of Streets of Rage 2 (in that club/techno music way), and the game itself is so ingenious in bullet patterns, backgrounds, enemy placement (remember when that tank in the beginning of level 2 rolls over that house? Awesome), etc…
The graphics are amazing, and IMO it isn’t until the third stage that the game starts to become really manic. That Cloud level was awesome, mainly because of the unrelenting minibosses and that lightning striking in the background…
After getting completely assraped on my first try, I played the game on Arcade mode and lied on my side the entire time (since I don’t want to mess up my TV) on the floor. I turned all the options on in the second menu, turned on free play, and then beat the game…but hot damn, this game is just amazing. Just thinking of the bullet patterns in the last two stages makes my head hurt; I wouldn’t mind shaking the hands of fellows who have actually 1CC’ed this game. What’s up with the last stage being at the airport, though? Thought it would have been at an enemy base or something :D And oh wow, when I thought I had actually beat the last boss, I put down the controller..and then its last form popped out and I got killed. This game is just absolutely amazing.
In NLI’s thread, I remember he asked about how to turn on colored (red) bullets…well, after beating the game in Arcade mode, I went to the Options menu and was surprised to see everything was in English! I copied down everything in English in the second menu (by pressing the R button) for those who could possibly be unaware of it:
Red Ball (changes color of bullets)
Guest Players (yup, I played as the 4 extra characters through my second time…changes the attitude of the game if you ask me, like that attack that summons the two devils who become one and bullet spray everywhere! Creative characters, that they are)
S-Option (no idea what this does)
Stage Edit
Small Hit Size
Easy Menu Mode
Well that’s all for now…my mercy, this game is amazing. My second favorite shmup of all time right now.
