Bullet Hell Shooter ‘Danmaku Unlimited 3’ Arriving on iOS and Android August 10th

Sunny Tam’s Danmaku Unlimited series is one of the best bullet hell shoot ’em up series available on mobile. We reviewed the original Danmaku Unlimited ($1.99) when it first released in the App Store nearly 6 years ago and enjoyed the heck out of it, and a couple of years later the sequel Danmaku Unlimited 2 ($4.99) was released offering even more frantic shooter gameplay. Well, it’s been far too long since we’ve had a new Danmaku Unlimited game and it sounds like Sunny Tam agrees as he’s just announced that Danmaku Unlimited 3 will be arriving on mobile on August 10th. Check out this awesome launch trailer for the game.

Interestingly, while Danmaku Unlimited 1 and 2 were both originally mobile titles, Danmaku Unlimited 3 actually launched first on desktop this past March, and is currently available on Steam for half-price as part of the Steam Summer Sale. I imagine the desktop version is just fine but for me it’s hard to play shoot ’em ups on anything other than a touchscreen nowadays, so I’m pretty stoked to see Danmaku 3 “coming home" so to speak. Also, as a big Nintendo Switch fanboy, I’m excited to hear that the game will be arriving on Switch this summer as well. According to Tam Danmaku Unlimited 3 is a “Perfect 1 to 1 port of the PC Version with no Ads or iAP of any kind" and it will be arriving at a special discounted rate of $4.99 before rising up closer to its desktop counterpart’s $10 regular price. If you’ve enjoyed the previous games in the series or are just a fan of shooters, check out Danmaku Unlimited 3 on August 10th and pass the time until then by making some conversation in the game’s forum thread.
