I very rarely play bullet hell shoot em ups but this one reminded me of Darius and Raiden from the 90s and I was impressed someone made a modern one with top production values and some progression mechanics. It was really too hard for me but I played through it on easy and may do it again on medium. I got my money's worth and am happy to support this kind of game. I also played some co-op with my son and that worked well too.

Its a fun and good looking SHUMP with a serviceable story and meh music. the upgrade system isn't explained and takes some getting used to but other than that a lot of it doesn't seem super useful. the visuals can be a little too much until you get used to whats actually a danger to you and some attacks don't seem fair. game doesn't give you many moments to breath from the onslaught of enemies either which can get tiring

wouldn't Get at full price but a fun entry into the ancient genre that could be improved upon in another iteration.
