Absolutely incredible shmup. I'm so-so on body horror, but this is somehow equal parts grotesque and beautiful. Every so often, I'm completely captivated by the spectacle of it all, even after playing through most modes multiple times.

I generally go for cute hard games like Celeste and Touhou (and just cute stuff in general), but something about grinding mountains of flesh with the killer Metal soundtrack of Mission Fallen really does it for me.

I would recommend this game for beginners and pros alike. The barrier for entry is very low but it's also engaging at a higher level.

Despite being touted as a "skeletal shmup", this game is quite beefy, with a ton to explore in the menus for ships and modes that offer very different experiences (though once you go Evil, you'll never go back).

10/10 Would chomp on skeletons again.
