Bullet-hell heaven |
Platform: Vita
Session fun rating: 7/10
This is a high quality side scrolling shmup. It has a cool steam-punk vibe, amazing looking enemies and an interesting time-centric mechanic. There is always a timer on screen and that represents your health. It is replenished from kills and power ups and is depleted by getting hit. There is also a time slow down ability that is critical against the tougher enemies. This is clearly a bullet-hell type schump where the screen is filled with enemy projectiles so this slow-motion ability is more than welcome. I had fun with this, but it's still just a shmup.
