This is my first SHUMP game and yeah.....I get it now. I understand, I comprehend, I see, I follow....

I...can keep going on but yeah this was so much fun even though I died a lot. It's really hard, no clue how one could go through this deathless seriously. There's way too many bullets on the screen at one time, the game literally had a few slowdowns because of it and they're so fast. I encountered many situations were I could not dodge so I just died. My heart goes out to the poor souls who had to spend a billion dollar just to beat 10 levels.

Music is ok, you aren't really paying much attention to it. Since the shooting sfx is so loud, it's basically just background noise. I mostly used the blue ship/jet because....it was blue and I like blue...yea. I accidently choose the green one once and I didn't really like it but I was so used to the blue one by that point so that could be one reason.

Regardless, I'm excited to go through this series and see how it grows and adapts through each proceeding entry.

DonPachi is a bit rough, specially for newcomers. DoDonPachi is everything this one tried to do but better and then the rest of the Cave games are kind of the same quality but with different flavours, so if you liked this one you'll enjoy the rest of the journey ^^
