Yeah, it's that game with that one song...

Mamorukun Curse! is a silly SHMUP with a nice gimmick to call its own- or so that's what my inexperienced ass would say since I barely play any SHMUP but from what I've played the bomb mechanic is pretty original.
Though overall this game is kinda generic, it has a story mode which I did not care about since I played the Japanese version and the classic Arcade mode is just much better. I ended up doing 3 runs of the game, two "bad" ones and one for the true ending by following a guide and I still don't know what enabled the true ending.
I had a lot of fun with this game so it is indeed fun for SHMUP newbie, the most iconic part of the game is obviously its soundtrack with the song I shall not name because you already know it, and the cute artwork too! Ohh I love Mamoru... Though the in-game graphics is actually quite putrid and looks like it comes from 2001 but it's a SHMUP who gives a crap.

I do recommend this game for any cute boy lovers and SHUMP lovers.

A really fun shmup! Although it's not a genre I've dabbled in too much, I know a good one when I play one. Fantastic OST, a great range of option to tailor the experience to your needs, and an extremely satisfying gameplay loop. I can see myself coming back to this one a lot in the near future.


Note: Arcade mode run.

A forgettable poorly made twin shooter that lacks the excitement the genre requires.
