Wish Project

At first I didn´t know what to think about Wish Project, but after some recommendations I decided to give it a go anyways.....and I´m glad I did. Although Wish Project has it´s flaws (I´ll get to these later) it was a refreshing experience. The controls are tight enough to play well, but can adjusted via the steam controller support setting. So, nothing to be desired here. Gameplaywise Wish Project is more on the "simple" side. You´ve got you´re Powermeter, which indicates the strengh of your shots, your Bombs and your Lives. These three Bars fill up by collecting Items. Once the Bar is full a new Bomb/Live/Powerlevel gets added. In addition to these you´ve got a shield Bar which fills up automatically as you shoot enemies. Although last one is not present in the hardest difficulty level. Your character got two shot types, which can be swapped, plus focussed (similar to the TWilight Games). In terms of patterns and difficulty curve, there is a lot to customize here....you´ve got four difficulty levels which you can then play with every character, which has it´s own difficulty as well. This way you can choose if you want to complete the game on normal the easier way or the harder way, for example. The Danmaku Patterns and Bullet density is somewhat predictable and shouldn´t be much of a problem for experienced players, but should be challenging enough for Newcomers to the genre. Especially the later Bosses have some really unique patterns on them, I´ve never seen before in a Danmaku game. After hearing much about it, I´ve played the Waltz Route first and this was, where I got really hooked. While the artdirection is far away from beeing on a "good" level it was the story that hooked me up here. You might thinking..."Story? In a Bullet hell Game?" Yeas....Story. I´ve never played a Bullet Hell Game feeling so uncomfortable with your In-Game Character than in Wish Project (in a good way). Basically Wish Project plays inside the mind of certain people, while the characters are thei´re In-Mind personalities (or alter ego) searching for a "unicorn" which has the power to grant any wish once killed and once the horn is obtained. Since it plays inside of the mind of these people, every character has certain problems in real life, with a partner at hand which is the embodiment of the characters sickness/source of problems etc. And now comes the tricky part; Although the Meme-ish Artstyle is far away from beeing good or acceptable, it absolutels fits the bill and works with this one. Yes the art is ugly, but it gives the game it´s surreal look. Yes the soundquality is sub-par, while having some really smooth latin guitars and jazz tracks. It´s the artistic lack of quality which gives the game it´s uncomfortable atmosphere to play along with these heavy themes. Many times I found myself in kind of a trance-like state, playing this. So, can I recommend Wish Project? Yep, absolutely....at least if you want to experience something unique within the bullet hell genre.

It's not often one can call a bullet hell game relaxing, but Wish Project is certainly that. Although shump/bullet hell veterans may find it to be a little on the easy side, it's perfect for beginners to the genre. There are also a wide variety of characters to use with different specialties and attacks. Although the start is a little slow, the difficulty ramps up and soon enough it becomes bullet hell goodness. The low price point doesn't hurt either,

內容遠超過售價的彈幕遊戲，在難度設計與彈幕設計上充滿巧思，外帶各種模式與重播功能。若不是畫風奇葩，外加音樂風格太雜，與畫風難以搭配，不然評價會更高。 儘管仍有東方project的影子，但大多數時候已經跳脫出東方的模式，自成一格。在難度上非常適合彈幕新手入門，並且同一難度的漸進提升也平衡的不錯。 整體來說，難度比一般彈幕遊戲都要低一兩階，是一款相當教科書般容易上手的遊戲。

Good underrated shmup. Cute and funny different characters to play, with different playstyles. Plus it's dirty cheap! It even has local co-op! Replayability is pretty high too. Although the game is a bit short, which is common for bullet hell games, each character has it's own story, bullet/bomb/skill and enemies behave a little bit differently, so you may want to beat the game several times. For the current price I think it's a real bargain.

This is a fun shmup with diverse selectable characters and VERY inventive bullet patterns. On normal and hard difficulty, this game isn't too hard, but the last difficulty is pretty crazy.

이 가격에 이런 볼륨감.. 괜찮은것 같다.슈팅, 탄막슈팅을 좋아하는 사람이라면, 충분히 가치는 있다.개성있는 그래픽. 보는 것만으로 재밌다. 좀 더 판이 길거나 했으면 좋았을 걸 같다. 그리고, 음성이 들어가 있으면 하는 아쉬움이 남지만, 충분히 괜찮은 정도다.

첫트 하드로 엔딩 볼 정도면 이 게임의 난이도는 무난한 편. 물론 목숨 다 버려서 깼지만.. 이름에서 유추할 수 있듯이 동방 프로젝트의 느낌이 많이 나는데, 차별점이라곤 쉴드 시스템과 스페셜 기술? 오히려 상단에 올라가서 아이템 흡수하는 기능이 없으니까 더 불편하다는 느낌 쉴드 덕분에 미스 많이내도 충분히 클리어할 수 있지만 뭔가 깊게 파고 싶은 생각이 안나요. 암기형 패턴이 너무 많이 나와서 그런건가 스코어링의 재미가 별로 없는건가...? 분명 처음 시작하면 "이게 무슨 탄막이지?"하고 당황할겁니다. 그래도 판정은 후하니까 생각보다 잘피해짐 그냥 탄막슈팅게임이에요 값어치는 한다고 봅니다.
