I think this is very cool, and like all the other Cave games I'm super terrible at it (unless I play it on Super Easy mode), I think it has some really cool art, and I'm sure the story is very interesting (I have no idea why I'm murdering all of those screaming girls in one stage), but I do find it hard tracking the bullets a lot more than in later Cave shooters. There's so much information scrolling and flashing on the screen that my mind might actually explode, I'm sure you can turn it off, but I don't know Japanese so I guess I'll deal with it. You murder a little maid girl shooting a bazillionty bullets at you in the final battle, that's four stars minimum!
Amazing game. Beautiful artwork and sprites, great variety, and one of the most satisfying Cave games to play yet (which means something). I loved how well balanced the game is - it doesn't have infinite continues like other of their games, but it is so well balanced around the lives you get. Essential shmup.
