Samurai Aces

Easiest Psikyo 1-all with sexy Aine.

This is another of the "first in a series" Psikyo arcade shooter from the early 1990s, in this case the prequel to the popular arcade & mobile hit "Tengai". It's a standard bullet hell shooter with a bit of a samurai theme in the characters, an odd crowd with some slightly wacky special attacks depending on who you pick. Like most of the other Psikyo series openers the game itself is meh and not much to write home about, and the difficulty level is unusually high. But I give it a thumbs up anyway because, like with all their other games here so far, the developers have done an excellent job with the quality of the port-it's arcade-perfect with the additions of extra difficulty levels, a "Score Attack" mode with online leaderboards and some nice graphical options. If you're not a Psikyo fan/collector you can easily pass on this one and just go with Tengai (which just hit Steam the day this review was posted) or the Strikers 1945 & Gunbird series, but if you are a fan/collector then despite this being a mediocre game overall it's worth buying to add to your collection and also to support the developer & publisher in helping them to hopefully bring more of these games to Steam. They have done a great job so far and despite very minor flaws the ports are virtually arcade-perfect.

예전 오락실에서 그나마 쉬웠던 슈팅게임... 비행기 게임치고 그나마 오래할 수 있어서 신세를 종종졌던 게임이다... 추억용으로 구입. 덕분에 예전에 오락실에서 보지 못했던 엔딩들 즐감이 가능했다. 1P엔딩+1,2P 조합에 의한 엔딩이 별도로 있어 엔딩보는 재미도 있었다. 도전과제 사실 이런 슈팅겜을 똥손이 도과 100% 달성하긴 매우매우 어렵긴 하지만 COLD.B님이 평가에 올려놓은대로 설정 좀 건드리고 2P를 막보스 정도에 연결하는 꼼수로 왠만한 똥손이면 도과는 100%달성가능

一番低いレベルの名称が"MONKEY"になっていて不快に感じてしまいました。しかも、屈辱に耐えてそれを選んでみても非常に難しかったので、遊びづらいゲームだと思いました。

Compared to Gunbird, Samurai Aces is much more difficult. It's not Raiden difficult, however. The difficulty lies primarily in the ships being too slow and the bullets being too fast. You'll get up to speed if you keep at it, though. I didn't care for Samurai Aces much at first; but the longer I played, the more I enjoyed it. I love the 80's/90's drawings, sprites, strong ancient Japanese themes, and wacky humor, which doesn't go over the top (unlike Gunbird). This game really takes me back. (I never played Samurai Aces previously, by the way.) The developers have done a great job, as usual, including the option to tune the level, lives, and continues to your level of skill. I warn you - even the easiest setting is difficult. Keep playing and you'll find a very enjoyable shooter experience. Summary Rating: 8

City connection are knocking it out of the park with their arcade to console conversions and Samurai Aces is another well done arcade to PC/steam example. Game plays, sounds and looks as good as I could want on a 65" TV. As far as I can tell this is the arcade experience but without needing a 200kg cabinet and the space to put it somewhere. Thoroughly recommended to fans of arcade shoot'emups and game collectors.

DLCでいいので最近流行りの 巻き戻しと クイックセーブと スロー機能 を追加して欲しいです。

Excelente! Para quem deseja começar a se aventurar no mundo dos shot´em up, recomendo começar por este jogo. ^^
