Dream of YukiHana

Before starting this review, a word of warning: This game was made in RPG Maker VX Ace, and as thus a danmaku game like this is quite volatile. [u]I had several unexplainable slowdowns and stutters on Windows [/u] that made the game barely playable on Standard and unplayable on Ultra, I'm talking literal frame-skips happening that felt like 6-7 fps. This was completely solved by using Linux (Proton) on the same PC. I'm still not sure what caused the incompatibility, but I would have put thumbs down if it weren't for Linux and the fact that I was a lone case. Moving on. Dream of YukiHana is a vertical shmup made by Mr.JX and presented as a Hololive fangame. Mr.JX has made at least one shmup before, so it's not their first rodeo, but this is the first game of them I played. You control one character trying to get to the center of Taisetsu Montain looking for answers and prayers. There are two modes, Story and Last Battle. Story mode is the regular game; it consists of 5 stages, each with midbosses and bosses, and a Final Boss at the end of all that has no requisites. Last Battle would instead be the equivalent to Touhou's extra stages (one long brutal stage and long boss battles wi…

For a free Bullet Herr Shooter, that heavily reminds me of Touhou, this game is surprisingly good, including the music. It may have some technical issues here and there but nothing that would break the game. Definitely recommended. Overall good but still needs more development and QOL updates. And maybe better key bindings.

Someone on discord posted this weird looking chinese cartoon video game, I believe its categorized as (((shmups)))? Played as some jester girl who shoots lasers, got mauled by North Korean White Bear who summoned satanic jewish rituals on my character and lost my first run of the game. Decided to not use continues to move on with my life.

Dream of YukiHana takes the recognizable personalities of Hololive Production’s 5th Generation and places them inside an original bullet hell fantasy adventure centered on Yukihana Lamy. Developed and published by Mr.JX, it is clearly a fan-driven project, but it goes beyond simply assembling familiar characters and references. Instead, it constructs its own setting, conflict, and mythology, giving the game enough independence to remain understandable even for players whose knowledge of Hololive is limited. The adventure revolves around Lamy returning to her hometown of Unylia before becoming trapped within the dangerous Taisetsu Mountain. Her companion Daifuku manages to escape and seek assistance, prompting Shishiro Botan, Momosuzu Nene, and Omaru Polka to begin a rescue mission. The mountain is portrayed as a forbidden and hostile place inhabited by dangerous creatures and spirits, with its mysteries also connected to the Snow Clan. This straightforward rescue premise gradually expands into a larger fantasy mystery and provides a suitable framework for the game's increasingly dangerous encounters. An especially appealing part of the narrative is its willingness to combine reco…

This was quite a fun fan-game about NePoLaBo; especially Yukihana Lamy, one of my three kami oshis in Hololive, alongside Tsunomaki Watame and the graduate, Nanashi Mumei. Not too long and not too hard, I was able to complete the story content in just under two hours, which was a pretty good length for a game like this. I also appreciated Dream of Yukihana's accessibility with regards to its story, since the Last Battle mode unlocked automatically after beating the main story on easy mode. Being a casual gamer, I played on the easiest difficulty since I enjoy having fun more than challenging myself, so I was glad to see that casual play is included so everyone can enjoy it. Of the characters, I played as Momosuzu Nene in both story modes, then played as Lamy in the main story mode once I unlocked her. I did not play through the Last Battle mode as Lamy, though, because the game said she does not have any story content in that mode. Having seen all the endings, though, I believe I have pretty much completed the game to the extent I wanted and got what I wanted out of it. I enjoyed the game quite a lot, and loved playing as Lamy and Nene, so I highly endorse it. As this is a…
