My first shmup, couldn't of picked a better one. A real piece of art. To many more in the future
Ainda não consegui passar da segunda fase, recomendo muito.
The gameplay starts off strong and I like the bossfights, but in chapter 3 environmental obstructions are used in annoying ways that don't really make sense to me

Leave to your ideals like Ikaruga
Very stimulating game with a lot to keep track of, However, the game is still very friendly for beginners with its various difficulties and ability to give you unlimited lives.
Yes i recommend Ikaruga, BUT. this version has very sub par practice tool. and they got rid of hitting boss two early, BUT he can still hit you with his vents? just like... the GC version had the ability to practice bosses. Why not this port? Why can't i practice the TLB? you know the most important challenge in the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game? are you stupid? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ Treasure Games... just download that shmuparch or dolphin and EMULATE FOR BETTER EXPERIENCE.
this game makes me want to throw something
超经典,不说了,推荐
简洁易懂的设计和有趣的战斗机制
神作,美术上的统一和素材克制程度(日厂一贯经费不足小而美),还有铃木康士的插画,结局的闪光,都给这部作品带来的艺术品级别的升华,但是——不好玩嗷。
