Ballistic Craft

A fun game with unique mechanic of creating your own shot.

ふつうーに弾幕を作るのが楽しすぎるんご

Ballistic Craft is a fun bullet hell game, in which you fight against other wizards with a wide range of different spells. At the time of writing I have not quite completed the story mode or tested multiplayer, so I might update this review in the future. TL;DR: It's fun, I can recommended it. Check the third trailer if you are unsure if the gameplay is for you, as it displays all elements of the game pretty well. The premise is simple, you have been chosen from a lottery to participate in the wizards tournament, in which you have to win against all the other participants to win the tournament. The difficulty in story mode feels fair, while the first few fights are very easy and teach you all the basics, the later fights become really hard and require full understanding of all the mechanics to be able to win with a high score. In the duels, you can use 3 spells, which you choose before each battle, dash out of the way, and block. In the beginning you only have a couple of spells, though you quickly unlock more by beating enemies. The variety of spells is very wide, from fast to slow, from many bullets to singular bullets that take weird paths towards the enemy, making them harder to block. Additionaly to that, in the shot creator you can build your own custom spells to use in story mode or pvp. Those custom shots can also shared with other players using the workshop. The graphics are okay, while they could be a bit more polished, they're doing a really good job of showing exactly whats going on without being to distracting from the high paced gameplay. The variety of NPC characters could be a bit higher, as there are only a few base models that got recycled with the only difference being different accessoires (though that one guy wearing 3 cones looks really funny, ngl). Controls are a bit weird, while the game works great with a controler, the shot creator demands usage of mouse and keyboard. Could be better if controler would also be supported in the shot creator but you get used to changing after a while. I have not yet tried any of the multiplayer modes, so I can't comment much on that just yet, will update this review if I get a chance to look at it. Overall, I really like Ballistic Craft, and can recommend it.

好玩但不火，人机限制还是很多就是人机的弹幕就这么几个，打得久了，就想跟真人打，但真人又找不到。建议增强一下机器人的能力，多开发些单机内容。既然人不多，就干脆当成单机来算了。

Waw, such a nice game ! Crafting spells is really fun and creativity is often rewarded because the strongest spells are sometimes the ones that can surprise the more and not the ones that do the most damage. PVP is going to be fun but for now I see no one to play with. I'd like to see an even better story mode with new environments and more story content ! I find the shot development asset very simple and fun to use.

[叽咪叽咪，用爱发电】 玩起来超有小时候玩小霸王的感觉！！！ 推荐用手柄玩，键盘操作起来有点不舒服还有违和感。

面白い。 オリジナルショット作るのが苦手な人でもテンプレでクリアまで楽しめる。 他の人がレビューしている通りカスタムロボなゲーム内容。 全実績解除も早い。

For the small price tag of 5.99 I think its a pretty fun game. Crafting the spells is pretty interesting and I don't think there are many games on the market that do things like this. It basically consists of choosing between one of four projectile types and changing their size on a scale as well as color, followed by adjusting the path the projectile can take and how much of a curve it has as well as the speed that it moves at. This works on a node system, so you attach a node to your trajectories line and manipulate these things where the node is placed. You can place dozens of nodes on one line (although this does increase the cost of the spell) and create some interesting things, like a flurry of projectiles that stop mid air then suddenly target the enemy all at once at max speed or several projectiles that instead of homing in zigzag or squiggle in a wide area. This is because there is also a timeline that you can place multiple projectiles across, or even set them to release at the same time, however it seems like the distance between bullets on the timeline has an affect on the strength of each bullets homing capabilities. One of my favorite parts of the game is the movement, its pretty fast paced and actually has a lot of mechanical depth to it from animation cancels to high jumps etc. It can be difficult to hit an opponent with good movement and coupled with the perfect block mechanic it can create some really drawn out and exciting fights. The biggest downside is the complete lack of a player base, in the U.S there are no custom games and my queue was endless on a Sunday night. To add to this the a.i isn't really all that great. Some times it will surprise you and land a really big stagger but from my experience they usually let you get up without attacking you for some reason if they do. This even happened fighting extreme difficulty. If you're just looking for something new to screw around with for a few hours I think this is great, I'll probably come back and complete the master arena just for fun.

Yaratıcı mekanikleri ile gelecekte daha da ün kazanacak güzel bir oyun olacağını düşünüyorum.

Lo lamento por los desarrolladores porque hicieron buen trabajo con los efectos pero. La jugabilidad es buena pero tosca y repetitiva Terminas hablando con personas distintas y en la arena cambian y se ven todos iguales. El mismo juego te dice que no lees los comentarios en y no prestas atencion (claro porque tiene 3000 dialogos malos que casi no tienen que ver con la historia. Termine las 3 arenas y tiene mas mapa, pero no hay jefe final ni nada Es solo pelear y desbloquear tiros, o crearlos (eso es bueno) Para jugar con algun amigo comprar en oferta
