Very entertaining shmup, difficult somewhat if you're used to dodging-type shmups rather than the clear-focused style of RefRain, but manageable with frequent playthroughs. I love the characters; my favourite is Mews since Bronx Terror is the ship best suited to my playstyle. The OST is very good and not too repetitive which is good for a shmup that needs multiple playthroughs to master.
Need to come back to this one. Fun gameplay, excellent presentation. The ship variety feels very good.
Amazing.
Out of my attempts to develop the brain-worm for STGs this is one of the ones that managed to hook me despite how terrible I am. Funny to think I only came across this just going far down the "Shoot 'Em Up" tag and ended up with such a gem. Makes me wonder how many more great Japanese indie games I'm unaware of. I very much look forward to C.C.S.B. when it finishes development and hope for an English translation.
[h1]IF you have a controller...[/h1] ...Only then would I recommend this (Pos. review because so far this is the only issue I'm having). Could be a me issue, but without a controller the game runs abysmally slow, I tried the very few suggestions I could find on the discussion page but to no avail, besides plugging a controller in before booting it up. If you can get past that major hiccup bordering on the edge of being a straight up barf, the game is absolutely beautiful, in it's UI and general design, soundtrack, and gameplay. As per most shmups, playing on a regular controller is difficult without adjustments, besides being a bit confusing they're luckily rather easy to configure here. I ADORE how the homescreen changes drastically with each character, it takes the computer desktop asthetic to a whole new level. Also, Mews can put her entire foot up my mouth, but that's a story for another time.
