Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This game didn't make the best first impression with me - there are some ugly background graphics, seemingly incomprehensible hitboxes, and the arrange mode being paid DLC - but I'm glad I stuck with it. The grazing mechanics may be more refined in later titles in the series, but they were built on solid foundations. In addition to that, the game has a game-long timer, which I think is quite an under-explored idea in shmups. I suppose that makes this one of the few shmups you could actually speedrun. But in theory this adds another layer of strategic consideration to every moment of the game. In practice it means tearing through the game as fast as possible to milk the stage 5-1 boss. But that in and of itself is a lot more fun if you've earned that time in the first place. I'd also like to defend the graphics a bit. The game's backgrounds are not great. Despite being 3D there isn't much fun camera movement and they are very repetitive. But I think that's because the effort went into modelling the numerous bosses. They are big, scary and imposing, they really up the drama. There are also a lot of 2D enemies and while these themselves are nothing special, there is a lot of variety on display. Each stage's enemies are themed according to the final human boss you face at the end. For example, the boss who is a military commander sends his troops after you, the evil spider demon girl sends evil spider demons after you, and so on. It goes a long way into giving the stages their own character. In the regard, Shikigami 2 is a big downgrade, as you face the same abstract enemy types throughout the entirety of that game. So in the end I was quite charmed by this game : )

Made a point to test this port out. It’s great. I always felt this series took off to GOAT tier with 2, and 3 is fantastic as well - but we are dealing with a full THREE of the best manic shooters ever made and for some reason a few clowns decided to nuke this one’s review ratio. Don’t get it, don’t care, and I highly recommend this (very much) and the two sequels (oh hell yes).
ノーマルノーコンしたうえで書きます 東方やストライカーズなど色々なSTGをやってきました 敵の弾幕は普通のSTGよりちょっと難しい程度なのですが エクステンドが1億5千万点→以降3億点毎なので 普通にやってると5面(ラス面)でエクステンドします あり得ない あと、初期残機が3つしかないうえに 事故りやすいゲームで被弾するとパワーダウンするので 油断してると一気に残機無くなって終わります 油断してなくても終わります 最後に一番駄目だと思う点なのですが プラクティスでどれだけ練習してパターン化しても ある程度の気合避けは必須という点です 初期残機が5ぐらいあれば丁度いい難易度だと思いますが 3しかないうえにエクステンドがラス面かつ 被弾時のリカバーが大変(ていうかほぼ詰み)という点で オススメは出来ないと思いました 例えるなら問題は簡単だけど合格点が99点みたいな 自動車免許の試験みたいなSTGです 全ての面の敵配置を暗記してパターン組んで ようやくクリア出来るぐらいです ただ、1面あたりの時間は短いし 練習しまくって詰めればクリア出来なくもないので やる気がある人はやってみても良いかもしれません クリアしやすいキャラはぶっちぎりで「小夜ちゃん」です その他のキャラは使わなくて良いです(クリア目的なら)
Controller doesn't work.
Awful port, just refunded the game, the game is incapable of detecting a soundcard, tried everything, even reinstalled openal, but no luck, i tried in 2 different computers, same issue "error opening sound device", spend your money anywhere else.
SteamDeckでプレイしました 久々にプレイしても変わらぬ面白さ
まず、コントローラーが使用できないという致命的な欠陥があります にも拘らず応対などは一切ありませんでした バーゲン中に購入したものなので金銭的な被害はかなり低い物の安物買いの銭失いはあまりいい気分はしません 現行環境でプレイできると謳っておきながらプレイできないのは立派な詐欺行為です これならまだ、過去に販売されたものをプレイできるようにした方がまだましでした。
正直めちゃくちゃ難しかった システムの強さはあるものの、終盤はかなりフィジカルがいる キャラ性能差が激しいので最初は強いキャラを選ぶと良い 難易度normalでもノーコンティニュークリアまで20時間かかったので歯ごたえは相当ある
ironically a genre worst in class. Completely mogged by Touhou, Touhou fan games, Len'en, and the tale of ALLTYNEX trilogy. the only shmup I've played that's worse is that one bug princess I cant be bothered to remember the name of, which really isn't saying all that much.
