After an incredible beautiful long summer, i'm finally back for some ios gaming. And what a monday morning entrance with this amazing shmup from the new king of bullet hell games. Too thick, too much? No, i don't think so! Bought everything without hesitation, left one of my quickest 5 star review on my app store (swiss) and included this brilliant gem into my GOTY contenders. Congrats and thank you, Mr. Ito!
Absolutely AWESOME!!!! While browsing around the AppStore today, I came across this "Bullet Hell Monday" game. Being a fan of the Danmaku series, I looked at the icon art, and it inclined me to check it out. It was a FREE to download game, and it was a rather small size (less than 100MB). I then saw the preview video, and was like "Wow, looks really cool!". Before downloading the game, I read the reviews, LordShad0w's ("Why 5 Stars?") being at the top of the list; his along with other reviewers' reviews inclined me to immediately download the game. When I started playing the game, I was literally BLOWN AWAY! The presentation, music, sound, effects, visuals, and gameplay sucked me in immediately! I've been playing nonstop for hours! I love how the game presents unlockable throughout progression, and it really enhances the experience. The FREEMIUM model this developer uses is SUPERB, and the game actually feels PREMIUM---a very rare occurrence in this day and age! Best of all, the game can be played offline as well!! I am thoroughly satisfied with this game, and I WILL GLADLY buy all IAPs because of this game's high quality; this developer deserves my money! I've already submitted a 5-Star review to the AppStore for this game.
The dev uploaded the tracks to soundcloud. The link is on one of the pages of this thread. I know I saw it on one of them. Billy
I'm used to Ito releasing his games as fully premium. But we all know how the AppStore is. When I saw he was going to release the game as free to play I KNEW he was going to do it right. This is why I am a complete fanboy of this dev. It's not just his amazing games. It's also how he does it. You REALLY need to check out his other two games. They are amazing works of art. They are well worth their price. .Decluster .Decluster: Zero Two amazing games. His original game .decluster will always be my favorite. Speaking of this game though he changed things up quite a bit and it just works so well. His Danmaku games will never leave my devices. I do hope he adds a survival/endless challenge with procedural increasing difficulty. As I've said previously this would push this game over the top and prolong its life for when you complete all 50 stages. I'd be willing to pay for it as well. Billy
Haven't time to settle in with this yet but after a brief play today I agree this is fantastic. Thank you Masayuki Ito for another masterpiece.
OK, I'm sold. Initially I thought this was just a very decent shooter, but not on the level of, say, Sky Force Reloaded. However, after upgrading a few bombs and weapons and getting into the bullet conversions and various missions, I'm starting to see that this offers something different. Probably don't love it quite as much as Sky Force Reloaded, but this is very, very good indeed. And the music is just outstanding.
=oP Need to get a list together for the ???? Objectives... ** I just finished the Chapter mode and am now moving onto the Challenge mode... But I know I'm gonna wanna go back and 100% this game eventually... And some of these, I never woulda figured out without those of you here letting us know (thank you for that, BTW!).
Yes, yes we are! You've given us another masterpiece, with perfectly balanced gameplay and controls. Nobody comes close to your work in the BH genre. Thank you!
I am just starting on Chapter 5 and it looks like it's going to be difficult to 100% !!! I managed to get the first 4 Chapters done so let me know if you are looking for a specific level and I can check what the objective is. Going to start working on Challenge mode too. That looks awesome, level lengths seem more like a typical bullet hell game. Although I did enjoy the bite size levels in Chapter mode too! This game rocks.
So, im up to 401. Now that Im hooked I want to support the devs. There's 3 dollars on my app store wallet. I will buy a 0,99 and a 1,99 ship. Which one you guys reccomend? I see that homing one is a favourite, what about the 1,99? Anyone tried all?
I have them all. I've upgraded them all. I've played them all. Without a doubt the one I constantly go back to is homing. Since you are up to 401 you will already see an extra OPTION button in the upgrade area. That's an additional 2nd missile bracket. Once fully upgraded it adds 3 additional homing missiles to the 2 your ship fires. Firing really fast as well. So you end up with 5. The Bombs for the homing system are ass kicking as well. The bombs for each system are different. Some are weaker than others. The homing bomb release multiple huge bombs in 1 shot that hit hard once upgraded. Just grind and fully upgrade it. You will love it. Homing is where it's at. I suggest you buy them all just to support the dev. Plus it's nice to switch out sometimes. But I always go back to homing. Just typing this has made me want to go play. God I love this effing game lol Billy
