Muy bueno para pasar un rato agradable, yo me vi el anime y este me parece un gran juego; sin embargo el gran problema es sus pocos personajes disponibles y su reducida duración... Pero en lo general es muy divertido.
Developed by MAGES. Inc. and published by PQube, Is It Wrong to Try to Shoot 'em Up Girls in a Dungeon? transforms the world of DanMachi into a fast-paced arcade shooter that feels both nostalgic and surprisingly fitting for the franchise. Instead of following the traditional action RPG structure associated with the series, the game embraces the classic side-scrolling shoot 'em up genre, placing Aiz Wallenstein at the center of an adventure where reflexes and precision take priority. While clearly designed as a smaller companion title rather than a full-scale production, it succeeds in capturing the spirit of the source material while delivering a satisfying arcade experience that stands on its own. The gameplay is straightforward yet engaging, focusing on dodging dense streams of enemy fire while unleashing increasingly powerful attacks against monsters and towering bosses. Movement feels responsive, making it enjoyable to weave through bullet patterns as the challenge steadily escalates. Throughout each stage, players collect upgrades that improve offensive capabilities and increase survivability, creating a rewarding sense of progression during every run. The inclusion of support characters such as Tiona and Lefiya adds another layer of strategy, as each companion offers different attack styles that subtly influence combat. Additional support characters can be unlocked through repeated play, encouraging experimentation and giving players a reason to revisit completed stages. Despite containing only four levels, the game does a respectable job of maintaining variety through distinct enemy formations and memorable boss encounters. Every stage culminates in a battle that requires careful observation of attack patterns rather than simple firepower, rewarding players who learn enemy behavior and improve their reactions. The four selectable difficulty settings also help broaden the game's appeal. Casual players can enjoy the adventure on easier modes, while experienced shoot 'em up fans can challenge themselves with the punishing Death difficulty, where survival depends on near-perfect execution. This balance between accessibility and challenge helps maximize replay value despite the game's relatively short campaign. The presentation is one of the game's strongest qualities. Charming pixel art recreates familiar characters and creatures in a retro style without losing their recognizable personalities. Bright visual effects, energetic animations, and colorful projectile patterns create an authentic arcade atmosphere that complements the frantic gameplay. Bosses receive particularly impressive sprite work, making each confrontation feel significant despite the game's compact scope. The soundtrack maintains a lively pace throughout the adventure, supporting the constant action with energetic music that keeps the momentum high from beginning to end. As a free release, the game wisely avoids unnecessary complexity and instead focuses on delivering polished gameplay that can be enjoyed in short sessions. Players searching for a lengthy campaign or deep progression mechanics may finish its available content relatively quickly, but those who appreciate arcade shooters will find value in replaying stages to improve scores, unlock additional companions, and conquer the higher difficulty levels. The simple structure ultimately works in the game's favor, making it easy to jump in for a few rounds without requiring a major time commitment. Is It Wrong to Try to Shoot 'em Up Girls in a Dungeon? may not redefine the shoot 'em up genre, but it accomplishes exactly what it sets out to do. Its responsive controls, enjoyable bullet-hell gameplay, appealing retro visuals, and faithful adaptation of the DanMachi universe combine into an entertaining spin-off that respects both its source material and classic arcade traditions. Although its limited amount of content prevents it from leaving a lasting impact compared to larger releases, the overall level of polish and replayability make it an enjoyable experience, especially considering its free-to-play nature. MAGES. Inc. and PQube have delivered a fun, accessible shooter that successfully blends anime fan service with classic arcade design. Rating: 8/10
