COTTOn Boomerang - Saturn Tribute

Do not waste your money on this abysmal port. It's honestly insulting that they're charging this much for such a bad port. The sound issues are being downplayed, the game is completely unplayable unless you want your eardrums to explode from all the static and crackling. The game itself is fun but not worth the price. Just get Deathsmiles or literally...... any other SHMUP.

[b]Отзыв скорее нейтральный, чем положительный![/b] Переиздание классического Cute 'em Up`a(леталки-стрелялки по-нашему) Cotton Boomerang трудно кому-нибудь рекомендовать. Причины просты. Сама игра, на мой взгляд, ничего выдающегося из себя не представляет. Летаем, отстреливаем множество врагов, разве что на этот раз под управлением не космический кораблик, а различные ведьмочки на метелках и без. Погоды особо не делает. Далее, игра очень сложная, местами издевательски. Часто бывают моменты, что только словил пулю, восстановился, а тебя тут же припечатывает новыми атаками, либо элементами окружения. Может это я такой нуб, но полетать и пострелять в свое удовольствие у меня не вышло ни на сложности Normal, ни на Easy. Разницы между ними вообще не заметил, если бы не бесконечные Continue, то игру бы не осилил. Звук и музыка очень приглушенные, частенько шипят и хрипят, не знаю, как издатели это допустили, но уши режет. Из немногочисленных отзывов узнал, что и на релизе эта проблема присутствовала, ну вот, и сейчас ничего не поменялось. Сами композиции хороши, но из-за технических недоработок звучат они будто бы из соседской бани, а не из твоих наушников. Неприятно. Даже с постоянными смертями проходится Cotton за 20 минут и все, больше тут ничего нет, это не сборник, тут только одна игра. Больше заняться в ней нечем и это ключевой минус. Издатель очень неохотно делает скидку, а платить 400 рублей тут не за что.

ゲームの読み込みが遅すぎる 入力に遅延がある。 お布施購入でも半額以下が妥当か。。

人間が自機の横シューティング。 コットン２サターントリビュートと同じ問題を抱えている。 ゲームの内容以前に、ボタンを押してから実際に反映されるまでの間があまりにも大きすぎる。 シューティングゲームにおいてこの間の大きさは致命的で、まともにプレイすることは不可能でしょう。

The game runs well enough, obscene and unacceptable input lag aside. What really pushes this over the edge is the audio emulation, which is absolutely horrendous. Avoid.

This is actually a remixed version of Cotton 2 with some additional content. Originally running on ST-V, this is an excellently presented arcade game. I can't quite call it a classic, but it comes close if you are from that era. This port has decent features, easy achievements, online leaderboards, several difficulty options and the ability to rewind/save progress. There are some technical issues with the port, some slowdown can occur - and you will have to disable the sprite smoothing filter. Still a thumbs up from me, the Saturn Tribute series is criminally overlooked on Steam!

The same review was posted on the "Cotton 2 - Saturn tribute" game (as it suffers from the exact same issues) ----- This is a bad PC release. Basically this is just the Japanese Sega Saturn rom built in with a proprietary emulator. I mean this is not bad per se, I would rather have more old game legally accessible this way than not having them. The problem is when you encrypt the rom itself, preventing the pc gamers to mod it in any way and denying the possibility to play it legally on our Sega Saturns, not sure what is the problem of the company with that. Maybe they want to limit their own proprietary emulator to play this rom? Anyway there are much better ways to handle that (like checking what rom is actually being loaded) and even this is stupid because there are much better performing Sega Saturn emulators freely available on the pc if anyone would have the idea of playing other roms on it. Sega themselves release the roms not encrypted in the mega drive collection. With a release like this I don't recommend it, unless you really want to play this game legally and cheap (and have a decent performing pc). Otherwise just buy an used Sega Saturn copy you will be better served and you will have less headaches (the game is likely to play better as well as the current emulator is good but not perfect). Review updates: 2024-11-03 I will not update this review again, as apparently the developer or someone from the company (nanitarou?) is not willing to do fix any of my criticisms and even complained to me for posting this negative review on the discussion / forums ("This WILL have the input lag fixed" thread on the Cotton 2 saturn tribute game). Terrible experience and waste of my time. 2023-10-06 I removed the performance issues that I previously mentioned, even though I didn't give negative feedback because of that (as I am using a older machine theoretically not supported, i7-3610QM), as after I have cleaned my laptop and changed the thermal paste the game is now running much more smoother, well at least as long as vsync is disabled (for some reason this makes the game unplayable). So not sure if it was only my laptop that needed a cleanup or if there has been any update meanwhile that improved the performance as well. The sound also seems much better now, though still not 100% perfect.

[h1]在这，回味经典的小魔女！[/h1] 这款画面古早的小魔女，从某种意义上说，甚至可以理解为后来的《小魔女学园》等大IP的初始前身，最早可以追溯到1998年，由世嘉(SEGA)土星发行，是一款非常传统的横板过关+弹幕射击类型的小游戏。 相比于最早的版本，登录Steam后本作进行了一定的高清化处理，而且为了平衡最早诞生时的游戏难度，还追加了存档功能，让游戏整体体验更加良好。毕竟难度较大的游戏/关卡，SL大法永远是拯救手残党们的福音，让玩家不用失败后从头再来。 另外，登录Steam后的慢速模式，也让玩家们的体验进一步提升。本作支持最多两名玩家同时玩耍，算是比较早期的合家欢类型游戏了。玩家每局可以携带3名人物，人物会在前一名死亡后自动切换，或者由玩家进行有限次数的自主切换。 目前，Steam版的小魔女支持键盘和手柄两种操作模式，不过基于游戏基本特性，还是建议各位玩家老爷选择手柄。虽然键盘模式切合PC进行了一定的优化，手感也尚可，不过真的不如手柄走位那么丝滑。 作为一款1998年早期游戏的高清重置（注意不是重制）版，本作62元的售价还是有一些偏高了，而且毕竟是Steam版，没有实体卡带，定价真的可以再便宜一些，如果是小魔女的粉丝，或者是怀旧游戏的爱好者，建议还是等游戏大包的一波大折扣再入手吧。 [quote] 加入[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ADZZW#]爱の榨汁屋[/url]&关注[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/34815366/]爱の鉴赏家[/url]，用爱品鉴世间作品，用心流淌真情实感。 [/quote] [table] [tr] [th]性价比[/th] [th]6/10[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]视听感[/td] [td]6/10[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]质量分[/td] [td]7/10[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]难易度[/td] [th]7/10[/th] [/tr] [tr] [td]内涵度[/td] [td]6/10[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]耐玩度[/td] [td]8/10[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]推荐度[/td] [td]6/10[/td]
