Devil Engine

Two games for the price of one basically. Damn good game especially DE Ignition!

i have to say i absolutely loved this game on the switch, but i love it even more here. this game is like if Touhou and Thunder Force had a kid. this game also helps me pass time. music is awesome, especially in ignition mode. love the game, love the music, love the art and graphics. i highly recommend.

*Disclosure - I'm completely ignorant about the developer/publisher fiasco regarding the designers/composers not getting properly compensated for their work on the title, baring what little I've read here in reviews. This won't be covering that whatsoever.* Thunder-Force IV is my favorite side-scrolling/shump game of all time. It's an absolute masterpiece with some of the best gameplay, enemy design and *mind-blowing soundtrack* you'll ever experience. If you haven't played that game, or the franchise in general, what are you doing here?! GO PLAY IT NOW. While Devil Engine doesn't emulate this to perfection, it gets pretty damn close. This game is tough as NAILS but it's a labor of love, at least for me anyway. You'll slowly improve overtime, combat your shortcomings and see real progress. I've shelved it for a while but I'll be coming back and giving it another go. Also, apparently the team is working on an expansion?! Put it in my veins. --- Graphics - 9/10 (Absolutely gorgeous visual presentation. A modern take on the Thunder/Lightning Force series.) Gameplay - 9/10 (It's tough as nails but almost perfectly encapsulates what makes these games incredible, and again, if the central theme here hasn't hit home yet, this is the best love-letter to Thunder/Lightning Force yet.) Soundtrack - BANGER/10 (The OST is absolutely incredible. If you know, you know.) Controls - 9/10 (Controls are precise. It will take some getting use to constantly managing your speed as resource while you pilot but thats part of the challenge of these games.) Story - Who Cares? Replay Value - High Overall - 9.5/10 Worth every single red cent, regardless of sale pricing or not. ESP. if you're a fan of the Thunder/Lightning Force series. It's amazing. Heres hoping to the expansion getting released soon!

A love letter to horizontal shmups, especially Thunder Force V. It even has the composer from that game doing the music! This game is very difficult, sometimes absurdly so, but it's a whole lot of fun. This can be considered a positive or negative, but bosses can be Gunvolt-y in their design in that you will have to memorize STRINGS of attacks and navigate them perfectly if you want to survive.

I wanted to like this game. In the end it is just an average game. I think the biggest issue is the power ups for your weapons they are just plain and leave you wishing for more. The game really is not impressive in any way.

Nice shmup with some Akira / Last Resort influences but it would have been nice to have an " infinite credits " mode for thoses who just want to chill & enjoy the graphics / atmosphere while playing the game.

良くも悪くもシューターのシューターによるシューターのためのゲームであり 「昔ながらの終末的世界観で繰り広げられる硬派STG」 「血が滾る熱いBGM」 「徹底的な死にゲー、覚えゲー的バランス」 「サンダーフォース4」 ここら辺のワードを聞いてときめいたならいますぐ買うべし。 ちなみに筆者は気に入りすぎて100時間以上やりました。

looking interesting but i cannot get into the core gameplay. You seem to need to know everything in advance seemingly. Also slight rip off of Thunderforce and Last Resort.

严格来说这游戏的版面和设计都是完全没过脑子级别的。。。。各种阴间且恶心的攻击组合以及版面，以及神经病级别的自机系统，都让这款游戏的难度高到天上去，。。。但是他的难，是不合理的难，是故意恶心人的“为难而难”。 高难的STG不少，但是除了宇航3以外，其他的都终归有解法，有合理且严谨的测试流程，不会说让你觉得“这游戏很SUCK，这是我自己的问题。”，但是这屌游戏不一样！它是会让所有玩的人都明显体会到一点：“这游戏很SUCK”
