Cube Gothic

Overly pretentious. Not really that interesting. If you like a challenging scrolling shooter, then you might like it.

incredible art, bad gameplay, i recommend Angel at Dusk if you want a similarly esoteric but much better shmup gameplay experience, also the dev's most recent games use generative ai unfortunately

Visualmente muy atrayente pero pésimos controles. Terminaras odiándolo por sus malos controles.

I really like the art style. I think a couple of the puzzle solutions didn't make sense at the end, but it could just be low IQ on my part. It can be hard at times but nothing crazy; sometimes you end up with too little health to get through a floor, but you can just restart the game to go back a couple floors. The hitboxes were weird at times and the backwards text is just dumb lol. I have no idea how long it took because I left it on overnight to keep my progress. If the gameplay and art look interesting then I would recommend it.

Very nice game actually, the best one from that developer. The art is fantastic and very unique as always. As for gameplay - I say it's pretty cool as well. Some ppl say in their reviews that the game is very hard to the point it gets unfair but personally I did not find it too hard, and I am not a SHMUP veteran or something like that. Maybe it got nerfed by a dev at some point, but I dunno. Some sections are harder than others but overall the difficulty seems okay, especially if you (unlike me) realise quick enough how your special ability actually works (spoiler: it is a shield). Game has tons of creative stuff and never stops to surprise you. This goes for visual design as well as for gameplay that is a mixture of many genres (including minesweeper-type of puzzles, lol). My only complain is that sometimes the dev goes way to deep trying to look innovative and weird. I mean 50% of story in a game is shown as a reversed text and honestly that looks stupid and a bit childish.

[h1]Euroshmup com visual enigmático belíssimo mas no final do dia ainda é apenas um euroshmup [Eng and Pt-Bre review][/h1] Jogo extremamente bonito e intrigante mas janky demais. Não adianta ser um jogo bonito ser no final é apenas um euroshmup. Todo o texto do jogo é escrio invertido e a fonte é estilizada demais para ler de forma eficiente, forçando o jogador a tirar prints e inverter a imagem no paint para tentar entender o plot do jogo (e o texto nem te ajuda muito a entender o que passa). Controles são bizarros, o jogo não se explica, a dificuldade é absurda e de forma injusta. Inimigos com hp enorme, seu hurtbox é gigante, seu tiro é apenas uma pequena linha na sua frente e fraco tornando o combate irritante (é melhor apenas tentar desviar de tudo), inimigos enchem a tela de tiros pequenos difíceis de enxergar nos fundos coloridos, o jogo salva ao final de cada fase, se você chegar no boss com pouco hp já era, pois ao morrer você renasce no boss com o mesmo hp que entrou na fase do boss. Eu queria muito gostar desse jogo, mas se for focar no visual e contar de histórias, talvez seja melhor usar um gameplay que não seja tão irritante, falho e punitivo ou simplesmente não ter gameplay. [hr][/hr] [h1]Euroshmup with beautiful enigmatic visuals but at the end of the day it's still just a euroshmup [Eng and Pt-Br review][/h1] Extremely beautiful and intriguing game, but too janky. There's no point in a beautiful game if in the end it's just a euroshmup. All the text in the game is written in reverse and the font is too stylized to read efficiently, forcing the player to take screenshots and invert the image in Paint to try to understand the game's plot (and the text doesn't even help you understand what's going on). The controls are bizarre, the game doesn't explain itself, the difficulty is absurd and unfair. Enemies have huge HP, your hurtbox is huge, your shot is just a small line in front of you and very weak making the combat irritating (it's better to just try to dodge everything), enemies fill the screen with small bullets that are hard to see against the colored backgrounds, the game saves at the end of each stage, if you reach the boss with little HP, it's over, because when you die you respawn in the boss with the same HP you started the boss stage with. I really wanted to like this game, but if you're going to focus on visuals and storytelling, maybe it's better to use gameplay that isn't so annoying, flawed, and punishing or simply have no gameplay.

Perhaps the single most artistically creative game I've played all year, it really does scream auteur project. A very unique visual style, 'eccentric' gameplay decisions, and a simply glorious story. At 3-4 hours, it's a short and sweet experience. Just like how all the text in this bizarre game is mirrored, I've started this trilogy at its conclusion, but after finishing it, I'm ravening for more.

Годно. Мне очень понравилось
