Eden's Eclipse

This is like 90% of the way there to being a good shmup but it has too many bugs and QOL issues that make it hard to recommend. Issues I've noticed are as follows: 1) Controls when navigating through menu options are far too sensitive. 2) Game hurts my eyes when the bullets get mildly chaotic. I don't have this issue with other shmups. 3) The easiest difficulty (Classic mode) is not easy. Therefore, casuals probably would find this game frustrating. Game could use a more casual friendly difficulty level to make it more accessible. 4) Boss music does not play after adjusting the BGM volume in the settings. 5) People are talking about not being to save replays after pausing during a run (which is an issue in itself). However, I cannot even select an option in the Save Replay menu after a run. The only way I can leave the menu is hitting the ESC key. Not sure if this is just a me issue. I don't have this issue with any other menus in this game. 6) Control feedback seems a tad delayed when switching between focus and spread shot. This is a huge issue when navigating dense patterns that require precise movements. Not sure why there are so many positive reviews for this game when it has such glaring issues. If the dev fixes these problems then it would be a solid recommend.

お疲れ様です。 ザックリ楽しむには一寸難易度高いかなぁ… コンティニューの面最初から復活はちょっとめげます。 サクサク楽しみたいなら他遊びますしね。 その手の上手い人なら難易度低め、自分には高めな印象。 （誰向けなんだろ 一寸疑問、 １面ボスのBGM鳴らないのは演出？だとしても意味不明ですけど… 此方のPCの問題かしらん

A great game with cool Design and Music, from a Dev who has made Shmups for Decades at this point. Sadly despite this being the third game in the Eden Series it strays from the Beginner friendly design of his prior Shoot' Em Ups. That is the most important point I want to underline here! If you're expecting to get eased in to the game like usually with the ones made by this Dev or even get a Beginner Level Difficulty like Heaven in both Eden and Blue Wish as Series do not get your hopes up with this one. Maybe this will get balance patches in the future. But for now this is simply a hard game starting at least with stage 2. But even the very 1st Stage isn't as slow as a start to it as these usually were! Have fun and support his work if you are up for it!

Cave-style bullet cancel/resource management shoot 'em up. I really like it despite the doujank. It's got unique levels and cool bosses. The royalty-free Japanese techno BGM rocks; love me some melodic house in my shmups. Scoring feels great as it has all the right audiovisual feedback to make it satisfying. With four playable characters and three difficulties that each drastically change the game feel, you're definitely getting your money's worth. That's a strong thumbs-up from me.

（评论已更新）游戏挺不错，但是依旧要反映几个问题：首先是有Bug，第一关与第四关的BOSS没有播放BGM，不知原因是什么，还有就是游戏难度的设定，算是最大的问题之一，guard这个最重要的容错机制太过于苛刻（而不像是前几作中直接由Bomb担任），guard槽恢复速度太慢了，蓝色的special槽也是，而且因为每个道具给予的回复量实在是捉急，导致无论是哪个难度都极其不友好；敌人本身的攻击也是个问题，即使是在低难度下，从第二关BOSS往后，游戏的难度就已经超过了一个低难度该有的样子，更何况从第三关开始难度就已经开始快速膨胀了，而且一旦续关游戏居然还会回退到关卡开始的地方，而不是字面意思上的继续，挫败感太强了。哪怕是玩家凭借自己的幸运通关了初始的那两个难度之一，也很难再激发其挑战欲望，因为通关的精力成本太高了。希望作者能够再接再厉。 ---------------------- (Updated) The game is good, but there are still a few issues to report: First, there are bugs. The bosses in stage 1 and 4 has no BGM, and the reason is unknown. Another major problem is the difficulty setting: The "guard" system, the most important system for not-top-class players, is too restrictive (unlike previous X.X games that the bombs are"guards"). The "guard" gauge recovers too slowly, as does the blue "special" gauge. Furthermore, the recovery amount the given by each item is too poor, making the game difficulty unfriendly at any difficulties. The enemy attacks themselves are also problematic: Even on the basic difficulties, the difficulty increases significantly from just the second stage boss onwards, and it rapidly escalates from the third level onwards. Moreover, continuing a level reverts you back to where you started, instead of continuing literaly, leading to significant frustration. Even if a player manages to complete one of the initial two difficulties by sheer luck, it's difficult to maintain the desire for challenge, as the effort required to complete the game is too high. Hopefully, the developers will continue to improve.

よかったところ ・極まったケイブゲーリスペクト味 　ガルーダ、虫姫さまあたりのケイブゲーを意識して作られた本作、そのあたりのゲームが好きであれば非常に楽しめると思います。 ・キャラクターデザイン 　これは単に私の好みなのですが、スゥイティー・スプーンちゃんは金髪ぱっつんロングヘア、ミニスカ礼服、黒タイツ、白ブーツと私の好きな要素たっぷりなので魅力的に見えました 気になったところ ・ボムが隠しアイテム扱い 　とりあえず知らないとボムが増えない仕様なのはどうかなと思いました ・サウンドのバリエーションが少ない 　形態変化などのサウンドが無く、弾幕STG特有のごちゃついた画面で状況がわかりにくい点が多々ありました 総評 わたしがケイブ系の弾幕STGをあまり得意としていないのもあって、スプーンちゃんのキャラデザ以外はあまり楽しめませんでした それはそれとして弾幕STGとしてのクオリティは申し分ないので、弾幕STGに自信がある人なら楽しめると思います

Easy recommendation if you like bullet hells. I'm not sure if the high level gameplay holds up, but as a novice/intermediate it's really fun. And it oozes charm that makes it feel like a classic. Bullet patterns feel mostly Cave-like with a taste of Touhou. If you like how it looks, I would even recommend it to someone who has never played a shmup before. Just by playing normally I think you'll get a sense of how fun bullet hells can be in the first minute of the game. And it's like Mushi in that all bullets are purple and there are no distracting gimmicks- so you can focus on the shooting and dodging.

Difficulty design is an art and this game is proof. It's almost enough to make you forget about the creepy illustrations on the score tally screens. Almost...
