    This is a spectacularly well made game, with a consistent appearance, incredible effects and a very cool set of core gameplay mechanics. It's without question one of the top two shmups I've played in years, and sets a new high bar for other games to aim for.

    It's a fairly easy side scroller shooter. I really appreciated the story, light as it is, which enhanced it. Einhander this is not, but if you like this kind of game you will get your money's worth. The "draining" feature feels nice and adds a nice ikuraga style bullet absorbing mechanic. The intro is rad and I would have bought it just for that alone.

    This was an incredibly frustrating experience. Your hit points are based on power ups (which don’t show up very often). So if you get hit, you get de-powered. And you will get hit because bullets everywhere etc. So all the stuff you unlock, you barely get to use because the game is incredibly difficult. I don’t mind difficult games, but every time you die being kicked back to the basic weapon is just not fun.…
