really fun, yousuke yasui music, hype final boss

Way better than I expected. While I'm not a big fan of the character designs, everything else in the game is tailored to my tastes when it comes to shmups. I especially enjoyed the upgrade systems and would love to see more of that in the genre. The second-to-last stage is one of the most intense I've ever seen in a shmup, and learning it was a great experience

Amazing. The upgrade system is really fun, when you're having trouble with a mission choosing your loadout specifically to overcome it is very satisfying, but even aside from that, it's just an extremely solid shmup all around, the controls are tight, the patterns are beautiful and flashy, every level is a different awesome setpiece, and it's difficult but not unfair. The only thing that's kind of annoying is the characters constantly talking during gameplay, but you can turn it off, which is nice, especially after your first time through a level when you've already heard all the dialogue. Don't turn it off for the final boss though, cuz there it's amazing. Even though I complained about the voice acting, I actually really love to see a shmup that makes an effort to actually tell a story with characters and dialogue.

I spent a month wondering why I couldn't find this anything other than a frustrating slog, and then it hit me

This is a nintendo shmup
