Fun classic style FPS. Made all the better by a sweet cyberpunk aesthetic. Also of note is the great player movement, and the dashing mechanic which is both fun and effective. Adding another layer to the classic doom/serious sam style of gameplay.

8/10

I've finally gotten a bit deeper in (still very early, just in the leaf zone) , but I am definitely impressed and absorbed by this beautiful game. I love the genre in general and this game really adds an excellent take and style to it. It is very faithful to the metroidvania archetype it seems and that very much goes in to the world feeling mysterious and exciting just as the great Super Metroid did so masterfully.

I'm loving this title, it also has a decent enough difficulty level and is not too easy which i appreciate.

FUTURE UPDATE: It's a dope game, but this is me from the future regretfully reporting I only got a slight bit further than what I had previously mentioned above. It's just a tough game to navigate, I was constantly getting lost. I know a little bit of the problem lies with me and my traditionally poor sense of direction, however I generally can find my way eventually in most search action-adventure games but Hollow Knight had me stumped. It is a beautiful game with fantastic atmosphere.

A great Raiden title embodying the best qualities of the series with a few nice additions to help modernize it ever so slightly, Fantastic Game, classic Raiden gameplay with the addition of mulitple ships and further refined graphics.

Very fun game. It is interestig to experiment with combining the various weapon combinations for different types of shot/beam type weapons. I'm happy to say that while it does have hte strong arpg element of loot and equipping your ship. You still have to collect in level items to get them to their most powerful forms (primary weapon, speed, spread, missles and more are all upgradeable through out a mission) so there is still the satisfying element of picking up powerups in level and watching your weapons grow more powerful. Various Character/Ship types all with a unique powerup as well as bomb type attack (bombs, plasma waves, shields etc) to add an extra layer of variety. I've yet to play cooperatively, either local or online. The game does however support both, and it seems the online community is active and steadily growing which is good to see.It is an easy recommendation based on the sharp visuals, fun and challenging enough (without falling into Ikaruga/R Type territory) gameplay, enjoyable upgrade system, and obviously great pricepoint.Worth buying right now for sure. B+

Decent space shoot em' up. I was slow to warm up to it, but once I got a feel for it I took a liking to it. Oklevels and enemies with solid controls. That is partially what makes it stand out to me from some of the other indie space shooter (I'm looking at you Blade Storm). It controls well and feels like a nice balance between Raiden and Danmaku. Gameplay wise I'd liken it to a combination of the two as well. Gameplay wise as far as powerups and bombs this is very much in the mold of the Raiden Titles but the gameplay feels more akin to Danmaku and other graze shooters in the volume of projectiles and changing speeds from very slow and methodical to hectic and fast.

Initiallly the difficulty seems to be on par with the likes of those games but is ultimately and easier affair as it takes much less time to figure out the really dangerous moments. Still quite challenging relative to other genres but in the bullet hell world it is a very fair and approachable game on the original/arcade difficulty setting. Granted a newcomer to the genre would likely struggle even on beginner, but I think without too much dedication it is a very beatable game on that setting for lesser skilled players. 5 different ships with unique weaponry and bomb type weapons offer good variety and replay value (two must be unlocked). Oh and their is a shield mechanic that will let you absorb damage for a very short period of time but always must be activated and held by the player on reaction which I think helps balance the mechanic from making things too easy. It is not vital to use, but is a nice feature to get out of some of the really sticky spots.

6.5/10, especially when considering the price. It's a pretty game with a uniquely metal soundtrack that I normally would not dig but fits the game excellently.

I lowered my initial score as I've come to find my tastes and standards change over time. I still think this is a decent shmup with fun to be had, it just has some very generic elements as well. The sound is not the best quality either. Still a solid beginner to intermediate shmup with some fun ships to use for a bit.

Recommended!

More than worth it! I played arcade for the first couple months I had it primarily. Now that I'm actually cracking CS mode I'm amazed at how much there is, and what little I was left wanting from the arcade mode is provided in CS in spades I. hate that Genre dictates pricepoint. I'm not saying that I want games of this ilk to all be more expensive, but a well made AAA title is just that.Whether an expertly crafted scrolling shoot em' up, or a First Person Shooter.

With literally hundreds of missions, and a bunch of different ship types with unique playstyles this game gives you quality and content. Not sure what other measure of a game should dictate what one is willing to pay. Full price or sale the game is worth a purchase for anyone with the slightest fondness for the genre. Or perhaps just one looking to try it out or have a different experience than other genres. A far better title than most occupying genres others consider "worth the price" in my opinion.

*edit for the love of the game and its continued prosperity* This is only $19.99 through 07/05/18. If you have any remote interest in a good STG don't miss this amazing price. I wish I was in their marketing dept. Sadly just a lover of STG. Buy it so we get more AAA japanese STG. That is all.

Rayforce, neat game with a very cool ship, Definitely one of my favorites to pilot here.

Amazing.

Fun, old school Japanese ARPG. Slightly similar in regards to games like secret of mana in terms of combat albeit much faster action wise. Traversal also shares smiliaritites to SOM, and A Link to the Past, but more integration of player movement and navigation, as you are pretty adept in jumping this game and there are moves that further emphasize covering ground by way of the air.

Solid, well crafted, and very enjoyable. Oh and let me not forget in closing that there are two characters. The melee focused female, and the magic using male. Both protagonists offer an enjoyable playing experience and do not feel very similar to eachother aside from the aforementioned jumping activities.

Recommended indeed.

Sweet Metroidvania game all in all. Nice infusion of some unique mechanics that will quickly remind you your not just here for a braindead scroller. Aside from the strong traditional metroidvania elements in place (combat, exploration weapon variety, secrets) the weird gadget type items have very interesting effects that while not necessary at overly frequent intervals. They definitely add a good bit to the necessary moments, and additionally the exploration portions where you use one and it reveals a secret in an interesting way.
