I've not really got on with many sidescrolling Shmups so far, but wowee this one absolutely rips. Fucking hell it's so good lads. You're a wee anime lassie witch and you fight all sorts of brilliantly designed fantasy monsters in all sorts of incredibly fun areas. You fight a big scythe wielding skeleton. You fight a weird creepy head buried in the ground. You fight an absolutely giant demonic cow! Fuck yes mate, Big Cow Mary! It's a very fun, anime gothic, bullet hell treat. It's quite easy on its standard settings, though a few of the late bosses turn the difficulty curve into a cliff, the last boss especially. Fuck yes mate, Cave were incredible weren't they? Just wall to wall bangers.
