About Ghost Blade HD
Story
10,000 years ago an Artificial Intelligence known as Shira was built to protect the residents of Mars.
As time passed the AI became corrupted and Shira started to attack the Mars colonies. With no way to defend itself against ‘Evil Shira’ Mars calls for help. The Earth Defense Force fleet fights its way to ‘Evil Shira’ and uses powerful lasers to destroy it. However, ‘Evil Shira’ secretly had a backup that flees into space and takes over an abandoned space station at the outskirts of the solar system.
When the EDF notices the escape they send their bravest fighter after ‘Evil Shira’. You are this pilot, and your mission is to destroy Evil Shira before it can complete its new attack force and threaten the existence of the entire universe.

Tips For Getting Highscores
Earn points by destroying enemies and collecting Stage Star items. The higher your Combo Multiplier, the more you earn. Destroying enemies and crates add to the Combo Multiplier.
- Use Focus shot for tight spots to avoid running into stray bullets
- Try all ships to see which one fits best for your style of play
- For a top scoring run kill as many enemies as possible and avoid dying and using bombs - use FOCUS shot to earn extra bombs and pick them up for a score bonus!
- No-bombing gives big impact on score, as does having as high bomb count as possible.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
Players praise this classic-style shmup for its excellent visuals, outstanding music, solid controls, and perfect length, appreciating its straightforward gameplay that combines the best of Cave and Toaplan aesthetics. However, concerns center on visibility issues including overly bright player shots, too many bullet color variations making enemy fire hard to distinguish, excessive screen flashing, HUD obstruction in vertical orientation, and abrupt boss fight transitions that detract from an otherwise polished experience.
con: - bad visibility. Which is why I can't recommend. Not sure what, but something is wrong. I think our ship shots are too bright and opaque. Too many color variation for the enemy bullets. - part of the hud can obstruct your ship (when in TATE orientation) pro: - music.2 found this helpful
Love this game its very like dodonpachi the colours are amazing.
Fun little shmup, Good graphics, solid control. The screen has a bit too much "flashing" wihich is sometimes annoying (particularly on stage one). This is a back to basics Shmup, with no fancy mechanics. 5 Levels makes it the perfect length to improve your game. It seems like a solid mix of a Cave game with an old Toplan game.
I have LOTS of top notch shmups and this is definitely one of the best, It is very simple, but it does the basics wonderfully- great flow, visuals, sound, and fun. Stylish yet straight forward. It does have one glaring issue though- the transitions into , and out of, boss fights are astoundingly, annoyingly, and disappointingly abrupt. They obviously didn't play test those bits. Devs, If you are listening, PLEASE fix this. This is a classic that could so easily have widespread recognition as such. If any DLC or sequels come out, I will be first in line. If you like old school simple shmups DO NOT miss this. Definitely worth full price.
This was my first shmup and I had fun getting all the achievements for it. Also I like the cover art by GENZOMAN. It's a bullet-hell (not every shmup is a bullet-hell) but it doesn't feel like the game hates you (read: sadistic). The art is good; the music is intense; the game itself is challenging, but I never felt like there was a challenge that I couldn't eventually overcome. I was poopy at shmups but, after completing this game, now I'm a little less poopy.
fantastic game
