Nice gameplay, free, good for entering the world of Bullet Hells.
Familiar gameplay, unusual but good music.
9.5/10"Includes Three Sizes"

Video Game Showcase: Jigoku Kisetsukan: Sense of the Seasons

Good game, nice, almost nostalgic feel for those who play Touhou. Whether the art, or music, or the patterns of the bullets itself, this game is enjoyable. Not only that, but this game, unlike many of the other bullet hell games on Steam, is free. Let me repeat that. FREE. That's right, you can get this game, whether to enjoy a familiar game as a bullet hell fanatic, or if you're trying out the genre for the first few times, this game will take you through that no problem.

STORY
Now let me get into more details. While it may appear that I've only played about an hour or so on this game, I can clearly say that I've enjoyed the story. At least, one of them. I've played through Tenshi's route, and from what I can tell, alongside the achievements, each route/character, has their own story, that overlaps slightly with each other. Though it may seem that just playing through a single route taking an hour isn't alot of time, this game has a good amount of replayability, with optional twists.

GAMEPLAY
There are interesting achievements to gain, that one would not think of doing on a normal basis for a Bullet Hell genre. Like the 'Pacifist', where you do not shoot/kill at all during any route. To not shoot? In a game like this? This is basically a challenge run! It's interesting. However, there isn't much one could do in regards to changing too muhc in terms of gameplay mechanics with the bullet hell genre. Bomb to save yourself, collect drops, move to the top to collect all drops, etc, etc

Graphics
Now, for the art and characters. The sprites are, well, extremely nostalgic, but that's to be expected. The characters are varied, in both personality and appearance, and even species. The art representing the characters also seem to fit well with the characters, unlike some games where you have the appearance of the character clash hard against their profile/persona. Oh, an added bonus: The girls' three sizes are noted *winks*

Another thing regarding art, or at least, a 'form' of art. The bullet patterns. For those who played Touhou, though we can't exactly tell you which pattern is derived from wher, what we can say, is that a good amount of those patterns are very familiar with us. Something of a nostalgic poke for old-timers(and not-so-old-timers)! For those unfamiliar with the series, don't worry, you won't miss anything but the experience we have~! Although, this part really, really should be in the gameplay section. But oh well.

Audio
The music, was unusual. It seemed a tad bit odd to me, using chip music for a bullet shooter. However, you end up becoming quite attached to it, and at one point I was killed since I was tapping the left and right in tune to the beat!

DLCs
Not Applicable
