Akai Katana Shin

game is beating sh*t out of me, but for a CAVE SHMUP it's fairly accessible i would say ;) excellent upbeat music, nice color palette, cool game play.

Progear on crack with ninja-samurai waifu who can transform into WW2 ship, what more could you want in a game?

I've had this game since I was 16 and I've always loved it, but playing it all these years later and actually focusing on a clear (getting close) really let the game show me how brilliant it is. And it's crazy because, if I recall, the original arcade version of this game was poorly received and actually was a big blunder for Cave. But the Shin arrange, treating it as the definitive mode of play, and porting it to the home gave this a much needed and much [i]deserved[/i] second wind. It's not as brutal as some other games from them but, the scoring and mechanics make even the easier moments so engrossing to play. Cave is SO good at giving their alt fire formula a ton of purpose beyond the usually passive benefits and tradeoffs. The soul orb and katana system overlapping your rapid and laser shot is such a fun and delicate tightrope. But it stays a very excellent beginner/intermediate offering for a chaining system that leaves a lot of depth for experts. It's not super strict like Daioujou or Ketsui, but there are still a lot of fun execution checks to keep your chain rising that keeps things interesting. This game is a perfect kind of lenience I feel. It's also stunningly gorgeous. Every part of this game feels...regal. It's so detailed and confident more than Cave's usual absurdly high standards in some places. An excellent rock soundtrack that does not let up and very interesting premise for an STG if story is something you care for in arcade games. The technical side of things and setup is also just perfect. Menus are not only beautiful, but they have all the creature comforts I want in an STG AND a PC port. It runs flawlessly and is smooth as butter. It just accepts and reads my controllers with no fuss. I really appreciate option sets and the auto select feature. Saving control presets, training presets, and just immediately picking your fighter is the kind of thing these ports need to be doing more of. The game loads instantly, closes instantly, is alt tab friendly 100% of the time, and looks just right on a 16:9 display. It gets the small touches correct which I see way too many games skip today. The only thing I really criticize is no higher difficulty option or even a loop 2 (the former is preferred). I think some more teeth and this could easily be the best horizontal bullet hell STG. But other than that, this needs to be discussed more as one of Cave's many crown jewels. This is definitely a master class work and easy recommend to literally anyone who enjoys fun action.

Greatest soundtrack by CAVE. Best side scroller too. Not too complex scoring system. 3 modes + novice.

(真モードの感想です) ゲージやハガネ、カタナと段階を経て溜めに溜めたものを放ち、敵の大群や大型機を一気に破壊して得点を稼ぐのが気持ちいいです。 敵に近いほどアイテムの入手量が増え、高得点につながるシステムもスリルがあります。 他のケイブ作品同様、グラフィックやサウンドが高品質な上に、キャラ同士の掛け合いなどもあって気分が盛り上がります。 敵弾の量は多いですが、弾速は速すぎず念身中は付近の敵弾の速度が落ちるのでかわし易いうえにハガネやカタナで敵弾を消すことも出来ます。 ただ、カタナを使うのがこのゲームの要なのに、カタナ発射までの工程がわかりにくいのが難点だと思います。 公式サイトのシステム説明やyoutubeのチュートリアル動画などにあらかじめ目を通していても、慣れるまでは混乱するかもしれません。 ちなみにケイブ公式youtubeチャンネルに攻略DVDの映像があるのですが、字幕部分でシステムの細かい部分や稼ぎについて詳しく解説されていて個人的にはとても参考になりました。 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9bstytnj3bM
