Furi

Fire combat. Fire music. Fire aesthetic. If you liked fast-paced parrying action with a hint of bullet hell, then this is a must play. Be warned, it's difficult, but it has me coming back for more.

Great bosh rush, none of the bosses are frustrating or anything, they're all perfectly balanced and fun to play against, maybe The Beat was a bit underwhelming but that's it. (Also thank god for the autowalk in the walking sections).

Extremely snappy gameplay and parrying feels fantastic. There's a reason why i speedran this game for a while, and it's because it's fun to just... hammer out beating a bunch of boss fights in a row. You feel powerful and the bosses feel powerful. Story is a bit vague to nonexistent, but with a game that does one thing (boss fights) so well, I can hardly criticize it for that.

An amazing twin stick shooter bullet hell boss rush game with a 10/10 soundtrack.

Another masterpiece by Miyazaki. Thank you Kojima.

heard a bit of the soundtrack on youtube, decided to play it because it was cheap on sale and had a fun time. it was fairly difficult for me but enjoyable enough to keep going going with some banger tracks

Having played this game to absolute death, over 10 years, obtaining S rank on most bosses, I think I have some good basis to review it. First off: This game is not easy. If you're looking for an easy, relaxing time, this game is not for you Furi has stayed in my top 5 games of all time, for over 10 years now. Extremely tight controls, immaculate soundtrack, and you really get to live your fantasy of whooping some major ass. The story is also extremely profound and thought-provoking. It is a boss gauntlet, with very heavy narrative focus between bosses. The bosses have a set number of "health bars," with each health bar consisting of one phase of bullet-hell, one phase of melee duel. Win both to push the boss to his next "health bar." Both the bullet hell and melee duel phases are meticulously crafted with narrative weight and gameplay-focus. This game demands perfection - reaction time is a must. The game does an extremely good job of setting expectations, and then subverting them as you progress bosses, ultimately culminating in a no-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, get-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥-good set of final bosses. You think you know what to expect - and then the game uppercuts you. Every single boss. Most people will buy this game and maybe get to the 2nd boss before giving up. Push through, make it happen, and experience one of the most finely-crafted boss-gauntlets to ever grace your screen. Game Bakers have earned a place in my heart forever.

Boss Rush: The Game, interspersed with cinematic walking and a banger soundtrack. 10/10, parry this you filthy casuals.
