Thanks to Ninja Destroyer, I got this awesome game. Mind you, I'm not a twin stick shooter vetern but I've played some of them as a kid and played some once in a while with the ones that spring up mind being geometry wars and some sections of Furi.
The game is beautiful with its color pallete and partical effects everywhere that, unlike many recent games, usually aren't distracting even when there's 100 enemies and bullets. My system is mid range, but it holds up right at 60 fps maxed out. It's too demanding to reach 144 but its fine.
While the gameplay is very tight and responsive and fairly challenging. 1 touch death and 5 respawns max, I had to be pretty quick not to die especially with the fact that many enemies double as environmental hazards.
Then the Music is great on its own, just listen to it:
I've gotten through 3 of the 5 levels so far. I'd have to say if there was one bad thing, it's when I came back to play the game and I had to restart it from level 1 in Arcade. That shit is terrible because the game doesn't save progress between levels and you have to reach a level in Arcade first before you can play it in Single World.
It also doesn't seem to have online multiplayer which would've been great but I recently got a message when starting the game that it has remoteplay together which would make the point moot, I'll have to test it out.
Go play it.
