REDNEG ALLSTARS SWING-BY EDITION

A very fun game of a bunch touhou-like bosses, except without the slower pace of touhou. Fun to fill out the gallery and get achievements.

Absolutely fascinating game. It's an unstoppable boss rush with over 30 fights and it's freaking addicting because there's not even a stage clear screen, it just keeps going. The [spoiler]endless mode[/spoiler] feels like something I could play for an uncomfortable amount of hours I love STGs aaaah!!!

[h1]《REDNEG ALLSTARS SWING-BY EDITION》简评[/h1] 由作者【外の人（Outside）】开发的第三部竖屏弹幕射击游戏，本作的风格、弹幕、机制都和前两作一脉相承，不过与它们相比，这一部弹幕游戏删减掉了全部的清小怪环节，只保留了最为纯粹的Boss Rush模式的Boss战斗。与超过60多个的Boss开展连续不停歇的疯狂弹幕战斗，战个痛快战斗到爽。 [h1]基本情况[/h1] 自机角色8位（需解锁），不同角色固定弹幕攻击和大招Bomb。战斗难度3种，Boss数量65个（大概），CG数量60张，成就数量30个。 [h1]弹幕机制[/h1] 一脉相承的弹幕对战机制，包括减速模式、魔法等级、护盾抵消、Bomb恢复等。 [h1]纯粹的Boss Rush，爽[/h1] 相较于该作者旗下的另外两部弹幕射击游戏《Cosmo Dreamer》与《Like Dreamer》，本作《REDNEG ALLSTARS SWING-BY EDITION》就非常纯粹了，只为了Boss战斗而生，哪怕是衍生出来的无尽模式等玩法，也都是只和Boss之间Solo对决的Boss Rush战斗。玩家需要做的就是一口气从第一个Boss战斗到最后一个Boss，要么中途理解失败，要么杀穿全部。 这种没有小怪清关战斗的玩法，只能说非常的爽，虽然有点费眼、费手、费胳膊。两组不同Boss Rush战斗——基础和Another Dreamer，基础组32个Boss，Another Dreamer组（该组Boss应该都是作者旗下其它作品里含自机的登场角色，至少《Cosmo Dreamer》与《Like Dreamer》，这两部作品是有的，不过不知道作者是否还有其它的作品，Boss数量大于这两部作品总和）35个Boss，通关这两组全Boss Rush战斗，手特别的酸，但也确实战了个痛快，这是前两作没有的感受，毕竟作者设计了大几十个Boss一直战斗不停歇，属于是越战越兴奋。 [h1]最后[/h1] 从这一部开始，不妨猜测一下作者是否想要搭建一个庞大世界观的游戏世界，类似于“东方project”一般，毕竟在本作中不仅登场了大量的角色，还涉及到多元宇宙大融合的背景设定，真可以期待一下作者之后的作品。 [quote] 奏游戏之乐章，品人生之绚烂 [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45672460/]欢迎加入 『 丰川集团 』[/url] [u][b]以丰川集团之名，行评测鉴赏之事[/b][/u][/quote]

Another super good game from the shmup creator that has become my favorite by now. Sure, Parsec 47 still holds my top spot of best shmup ever made, and ABA Games/Kenta Cho also has rRootage and noiz2sa, two shmup that are also one of my all-time favorites, but now that we have Nightmare trip, REDNEG 3STARS, CosmoDreamer, Like Dreamer, and REDNEG ALLSTARS SWING-BY EDITION - the sheer numbers of shmups that are some of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES have to make Outside my favorite shmup creator ever. 10/10, even for someone like me that prefers shmups with stages over boss rushes.

Outside is probably my favorite shmup developer as the relative newcomer to the genre that I am, and this is another great one by him. There's a difficulty for every skill level here. Outside's art is also a joy here, the pop-art style is so much fun! Highly recommended!

It is a fun shmup.

Neat boss rush game with a ton of bosses.

Another game I judged unfairly when I first played it. A boss rush that slowly opens up as you play. Contains the same kind of gameplay as Outside's other games... So if you love Cosmo & Like Dreamer, you LOVE this too! Highly recommended!

Really fun boss rush shmup with touhou inspirations and (very quirky, but ultimately) charming visuals. Can be as relaxing or hellish to play as you'd like, and a great intro to the genre.

While I would prioritise Like Dreamer, REDNEG is still very solid. Five difficulties and three gamemodes (two bossrushes + an Endless mode) and eight characters is plenty enough for the prizetag. Personally, even though I'm not good enough to actually care the scoring seemed a bit boring and the characters are very much alike, but I don't know how you could meaningfully differentiate more than two/three character's with the boss rush structure of the game (I also haven't unlocked the Ketsui character yet so I might eat my words).
