Mushihimesama

good game

This is a great game but unfortunately replays occasionally just break and do not work at all.

this has been by far the most enjoyable shmup for me as a noob to the genre, very easy to get a grasp on the game yet it still remains challenging (especially goin for 1CCs). The games soundtrack and design are immaculate too, if youre reading this u should get it right now its such a fun time

This is the worst shoot'em up game I have ever played. The bullets blend in with the super-contrasty, high-detail background because compared to the background they're low-contrast. The background of stage 3 has a giant, super-contrasty crenulated monster that shifts and wiggles around making it incredibly difficult to pick out bullets. Bullets blink so that once you do find them, your motion tracking doesn't work. There is no video in this video game - this is a *blinking game*. The entire screen blinks, shimmers... did I mention that the screen MOVES as you move your character? Oh, and on original mode, the bullets have an intentional motion blur / onion-skin animation effect applied to make them even harder to see. Even if all this was forgivable (it isn't) the game's movement is messed up. There's a delay between hitting the focus key and actually getting slower (focused) movement... which means that for any given section, you must play the entire section entirely focused or entirely unfocused. Touhou-style gameplay where you rapidly switch between macrododging and micrododging is not possible in this game because of that. A huge part of the thrill of the game is removed for that reason. Shmups are all about tracking bullets with your eyes and finding gaps. This is not possible in this game for me. I have 1cc'd multiple touhou games on hard mode but can't reliably beat stage 2 on the easiest difficulty because I can't see the bullets, can't predict gaps, etc. The level design is boring and frustrating - you must memorize enemy spawns so that you can shoot them as they spawn so that they don't rush down the screen and kill you. It's bad when Touhou does it, and it's bad when Cave does it. I was told this is one of the best shmups ever made released by the king of shmups - Cave. After having played this game and Dodonpachi Daioujou, I can tell you cave has no idea how to make a shmup. They know how to make quarter stealers - games which would be easy if they weren't loaded with garbage visibility problems and laggy inputs. This is not a fun video game. Do not buy it. Mushihimesama is a boring, frustrating shmup all about trying to find and track blinking, blurry bullets on distracting backgrounds while the whole screen sways back and forth with your character's movement.

起動時に音量の設定が反映してなくて音がデカイのが毎回イラッとする。 あと、ボス練習できなくない？

Amazing game, will waste 18209812 hours of my life trying to 1cc this game and you should too.

Every single aspect of this game is perfect.

夯中夯，虽然依旧不知剧情是什么，但版面设计优秀，特别是击杀精英怪后强制清全屏弹幕这个实在是非常舒服，适当的减轻玩家压力。最后，值得买，就是依然有些贵。。。。

Absolute Cave's classic and one of the best shmup of all time. Also great Steam port.

Incredibly well designed bullet hell that is purely skill based and very engaging from the first stage. I have more than the 40 minutes that steam says i played this game for. Its very fun.
