Arsenal Demon

I'll start off with saying that I'm not very good at these fast-paced action type of shooters. But even with that said I could get into the groove and enjoy running around blasting various devilish shapes coming at me, I found the variety of enemies I encountered interesting and challenging to fight. I did discover that finding an open square corner to run around in was a viable strategy to keep alive and blasting the enemies as they came which did feel a little bit cheesy, but once enough time had passed enough enemies would manage to get close to force you to move. On one run I had enemies that got stuck inside the walls of their "spawn" and refused to come out for 4-5 minutes, only happened once though! Overall an enjoyable game, if you like fast-paced arena shooters you'll love this I bet, as for myself I found it a fun way to kill an hour, might return to this if I get that itch to just run around and shoot at things for a short period of time without having to bother with multiplayer!~

I already wanted to refund Arsenal Demon. Playing the first option Demon Mode gives you underwhelming limited movement options. I was a stupidly bunnyhopping slow dude on the ground against an overwhelming flying enemy horde. Not fun. I persisted and retried Demon Mode. I didn't try the other modes where every ability would have been available. It turned out, that many movement options need to be unlocked first (in Demon Mode). You need a bit of a grind at the start and you'll unlock more in-air jumps and in-air dash. With these and a bit of training you'll soar through the air like Goku in a Dragonball fight! Super fast! Very satisfying! The arena is a vertical bar, the height being 4 times the size of its length/width. All structures are randomly generated and tend to build many tall pillars. You can accelerate VERY fast upwards on walls. This makes for very vertical focused battles! There are only 8 enemy types but they have such a good variety of different abilities that together they form an interesting threat to overcome. Like in Dragonball the enemies have a blink movement option where they almost instantly travel behind you with a trail of themselves. This will mix you up, no stupid chasing you in a bulk, but spreading out around you and giving you a hard time. To make it even harder, there are a whole lot of 'shackles' - difficulty options to enable from the menu for the next run. There are some bugs happening rarely and a few imbalanced weapon designs, but it's a cool gameplay with fresh ideas which make for a very fast-paced and fun arena shooter!
