The human powers-that-be called for the purification of mankind and the eradication of vampires and ‘deviants bloodlines’ - those born of a mix of human and vampire. And so began massive purges of the deviants that were reminiscent of the 'witch hunts' of centuries earlier.

The second game in the eXceed series. This version (REX) is actually a remake of the original "eXceed 2nd - Vampire" which is why it runs so much better than the first game in the series. The game borrows the polarity mechanic from Ikaruga. That means you can press a button to change your polarity from light to dark and vice-versa. Projectiles with your same polarity charge a special attack that clears the screen of bullets and deals a ton of damage to enemies while touching projectiles with a different color kills you like usual. Enemies and bosses are resistant to their own polarity too so you generally wanna stay in dark against a boss with a light aura, as an example. There's also a dynamic difficulty system in place so the better you do the harder the game gets whereas dying resets you to a lower difficulty. I'm not sure if harder difficulties are really harder though because more bullets means your special attack gets charged faster as well, I guess it's more of a risk vs reward thing. I also enjoyed the soundtrack and the art is very clean, it's kind of a shame that they basically drop all of the characters in the third installment. Anyways, this game is good and might even be a good option if you are trying to get into SHMUPs because it has an easy mode and all. It goes on sale often too.

Wasn't given a crap about this game until stage 7 happened, holly ♥♥♥♥! Beat the hell out of the heroines from the previous game and don't forget that this is a totally new one, dodge bullets? Nope, absorve it and then charge back a powerful attack on your enemies. Again the game don't explains how to play it, so abuse the new absorve mechanic to win. Seriously, is the only way. As the previous game the OST is amazing, and this one runs on stable 60 FPS, also including a better presentantion and full screen.
es como ikaruga pero mas divertido y con mejor musica peak de los doujin danmaku B)
Good game but BADLY in need of upscaling. Resolution options are seriously lacking. Same for its sequel.
Симулятор двухцветного лицемера. Подстраиваешься под пули врага и обращаешь его силу против него самого, пока смеёшься в лицо стенкам пуль.
Notice: eXceed 2nd - Vampire REX is no longer available on the Steam store.
Vertical bullet hell with a fantasy theme. Good controls. Bullet polarity mechanic like Ikaruga. Good presentation and graphics. Great audio. Fun and challenging. [i]Listed on the [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/40858110-Shoot-%2527em-up-Database/]Shoot 'em up Database[/url][/i]
Severe warning! Also, I can't still change keybindings.
Se amate gli sparatutto "con l'astronavina" e gli anime vi piacerà un sacco! Un inferno di proiettili non banale perché bisogna variare il colore chiaro e rosso per assorbire e colpire i nemici. Battaglie con i boss esaltanti e diversi livelli di difficoltà adatti a tutti. Il 6 gennaio 2023 verrà rimosso da Steam, consiglio di approfittare degli sconti per regalarvi la trilogia intera
