Candy Rangers

A veces apetece jugar a algo diferente, y ahí llega Candy Rangers como un soplo de aire fresco. Un shooter sobre raíles en el que controlas cuatro personajes a la vez donde encuentras una combinación de visuales originales con niveles desafiantes que te hacen querer avanzar para ver nuevas situaciones en las que usar las mecánicas que se nos brindan, o reintentar los niveles en los que no hemos sido capaces de conseguir todos las medallas y/o estrellas. Conforme avanzas, vas encontrando nuevos enemigos que suponen nuevos retos, así como los bosses de cada zona, que junto a la música del juego crean una experiencia muy divertida y satisfactoria. Un juego que no se queda corto de tiempo de juego, lo que tiene mérito estando hecho por un solo dev, con elementos desbloqueables que aportan rejugabilidad. Más que merecido el darle la oportunidad a este indie, deseando meterle más horas para descubir el 100% de los niveles!

A short-but-sweet on rails shooter with a lot of interesting ideas for the genre. Like a sort of top down Sin & Punishment, Mechano plays around with aspects like platforming, hidden paths, and certain enemy sequences being completed to attain in-game rewards and score. I think one of the best things about an on-rails shooter is applying a 'wow' factor, and many levels in Candy Rangers find a stride of doing a lot of cool things at once, bonking and shooting enemies in semi-color-coded fashion. The other big inclusion to the formula is having four sisters with four face button (or WASD on keyboard) bullets for each colored enemy. It's both color and general pattern matching, with x-axis red lines, z axis blue lines, y axis green lines and a corner yellow split pattern. The color and pattern matching is a very interesting idea to have to balance in the chaos, and if you're going for score it's something you have to take great care or you'll lose combo. Graphically the game is wonderful to look at. I enjoy the character designs and some of the enemy designs. I absolutely adore that each level has an unlockable art piece if you meet a modest score threshold, which does a lot to establish the game's vibes and define the characters. The music pulls just behind, with a lot of uplifting and interesting tunes. The story is very simple but it works and I liked their interactions. I honestly would like to see them talk and do things more! As a drawback the game has a very finnicky relationship with depth. Sometimes you get odd angles for traps that are hard to see, some patterns are so precise that it feels pretty difficult to pull off on a keyboard, and since your bullets are in a 3D space it's very easy to lose a combo by poking at the wrong enemy that's semi-off screen. A good amount of the score chasing requires some memorization in these annoying pattern groups. I also did wish the color matching was more intuitive rather than using a face-button-map. I also think assigning the four colors to the parts of a controller (being able to switch between popular configs, like Sony, Nintendo, Xbox, etc) would have been nice too. Still, very fun package overall. Feels like something between the DSi and a Dreamcast. If you like rail shooters, I definitely suggest giving this a shot!

[h1]刺激的射击游戏：Candy Rangers[/h1] 画风 QQ 萌萌的，BGM 也很欢快，有趣的固定轨道射击类游戏，控制四个角色来一起射击的设定也非常有趣，还是比较有难度的。比较可惜的是没有中文，不过本作的重点是在射击。不是很看重剧情，影响也不是很大。 [h3]游戏玩法 [/h3] 这可怕的诅咒让乌纳人迷失了自我，于是他们很快就变成了永远漂泊游荡的怪物。乌纳人如今在大地上游荡，践踏了他们曾深爱的土地。人类畏惧这些邪恶的生物，挺身而出，以勇敢的护林员奋起反抗。然而，这仅仅是传说吗？这是开局的动画表达的大概意思，然后就开始训练四人小队了。做完新手教程就开始闯关之旅了。 整体上还是非常有难度的，每关都有分数，运用目标分数，打完结束之后会有评价的，比如说第一关打到14700只有一颗“星”（满星是三颗，黄色柱状物品，也有目标分数）。主要影响因素有 combo，也是连击次数。打击的目标会动来动去或者说是突然出现，有些时候挺难反应过来的。 [h3] 结语[/h3] 《Candy Rangers》是一款欢乐刺激的固定轨道射击类游戏，在一关关中追求更高的分数吧，控制好时间和连击次数，操控作为护林员的四胞胎来操作，四个人的枪射击的子弹方向是不同的。与破坏环境的怪物进行反坑和战斗，通过运用合理的 WASD和鼠标来去射击不同方向和排列而来的怪物。有着丰富的世界和关卡可供选择，还可以收集物品。 [quote]欢迎关注 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45531068/]黑白测评[/url] [hr]黑夜显真 白昼辨伪

Adored this one! Some frustrating bits towards the end. The camera and bullet paths can be a little confusing as the game builds up in complexity. Overall, loved the visuals, music, gameplay and hope to see more things from this team! Looking forward to jumping into all of the post-game extras and going for some completion things.

[h1]《Candy Rangers》简评[/h1] 这款带有街机风格的固定轨道射击游戏，玩着不仅有点意思，还挺有难度的。这种玩法有点像街机厅中使用模拟枪一类的射击游戏，需要玩家在有限的时间内消灭掉前进路上的所有敌人抵达关卡重点。由于涉及到四位角色对应四种颜色，同时控制针对性的对敌人射击战斗，相当考验玩家的即时反应速度，绝对没有想象中的那么简单，非常容易眼花缭乱和手忙脚乱。游戏挺不错的，还是萌系卡通风格，节奏感也很强，感兴趣不妨瞧上一瞧。 [h1]游戏玩法[/h1] 其实游戏玩法很简单，同时控制四位双胞胎角色朝着终点移动，面对路上出现的敌人，对它们发起进攻（漏掉一些也不算太碍事），在有限的时间内抵达终点便算通关。这四位双胞胎角色，攻击分别具有不同的特殊效果，红毛可以侧向射击子弹，绿毛可以竖向射击，蓝毛可以来回射击，黄毛可以清除对角线图案。游戏中的敌人出现，都是按照规律有迹可循的，选择合适的角色攻击敌人，能够起到事半功倍的快速杀敌效果。玩家想要高效清关，就得利用这一特性，使用正确颜色的角色对敌攻击，这也是本作的魅力。 [h1]挑战难度[/h1] 本作的难度虽然谈不上特别难，但是也不能说简单，至少想要拿到高评价的通关，没想象中的那么容易。游戏中的敌人，都是突然出现的，唰的一下，很快，有些甚至不给玩家反应时间就突到脸上了。玩家此时不仅需要根据敌人所在位置，光速移动光标对准，还有选择合适颜色的角色高效杀敌。选错了颜色也不是不能击杀敌人，只不过效率低下容易导致出错，然后被惩罚时间（罚秒）影响最后结算通关评价。当然，本作不存在肉鸽随机，每一个关卡敌人登场顺序都是固定好的，玩家反复刷关熟练背板，那也是本事，“菜，就多练”，并非没有道理的。 [h1]最后[/h1] 游戏的流程也不算长，四五个小时中规中矩，用这个游戏消磨半天或者一天的时间，也挺好。 [quote]关注鉴赏组：[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45134494]浮生评测[/url] ←"浮生若梦，一鉴倾心，邀您共赏人间烟火" 加入Steam组：[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/LLFLLFF]浮生评测[/url]←“一起追寻'浮生若梦'般的游戏体验” 开始“浮生若梦”鉴赏组的奇幻之旅！[/quote]

Criminally underrated! Kawaii magical girl action for everyone!!!

One of my favorite demos from last year and it absolutely delivered on that promise from the core gameplay to the stellar OST to the wonderful low-poly visuals. A genuinely fresh take on rail shooters that clearly comes from a place of love for what came before, with tons of little tricks to its levels that make the most of its simple mechanics. It's somewhat breezy to hit credits during on lazy Sunday (like I did) but there's still plenty to go for if you love arcade-style mastery (especially the score thresholds, every art piece they unlock is adorable). There's a few small bugs and visual issues (the final boss has attacks that can be hard to see at times) but the dev seems very receptive. Highly recommended as one of the best indies of this year, and that Treasure-likes Bundle it comes in is a great deal too, since the other game in it is one of its only rivals for that throne.
