✦ AI summary

Players praise this shmup for its engaging CAVE-inspired bullet hell gameplay with satisfying fast-paced action, good variety in ships and weapons, and an excellent soundtrack paired with colorful visuals. Common complaints center on performance issues during hectic scenes with high GPU utilization, basic 3D model and environment textures, and limited graphics customization options beyond resolution and frame rate settings.

Recommended Oct 1, 2023
Excellent game, I haven't been THIS excited playing a shmup since Gunvein. The core gameplay seems to be very CAVE inspired which is a great thing in my book. I could also notice some RAIDEN dna here, good stuff. Multiple game modes to cater both beginners and hardcore players. Great ship variety and weapon customization. Super satisfying fast paced action with good encounter design / bullet patterns. The soundtrack is also amazing, the colorful presentation is pretty nice but some UI elements, 3D models / environment textures / explosions can look quite basic at times. Performance can get a bit funky with high GPU utilization when there's lots of stuff on the screen and there's no graphics settings besides screen resolution / frame rate limiter atm. Anyways I'm very excited to see what the future updates could bring to improve the experience. If you're a shmup fan I highly recommend to keep an eye on this game.

I am very happy I decided to buy early access to this game. Its a nice mix of CAVE bullet hells, The Raiden series, and M2 style widgets. Highly recommend!

The game seems to have evolved quite a bit since the demo build. Love the M2 style gadgets and the gameplay is just great fun. Look forward to the main release.
