G-MODEアーカイブス+ 怒首領蜂大往生DX

A wacky alternate universe version of DDP DOJ that is really cool to see preserved here and readily available. For the platform limitations, it's extremely well-made and looks great, though as mentioned the singular explosion sound effect is wimpy and pretty bad. Controls are quite good other than having to let go of auto-fire before hitting the laser button, if you want to switch shot types. I assumed this was intentional, even though it didn't match other Cave games I've played, but there is a fix available in the reviews which should stop this from happening, I just figured I had to be super thoughtful when I wanted to switch between the types. Cleared on normal with a 1cc- would love to meet the Japanese guy who actually cleared Special difficulty on a flip phone in 2005, you know somebody tried. If G-Mode reads English reviews of these for whatever reason, I would absolutely love to see the mobile phone version of Final Fantasy Adventure AKA Seiken Densetsu, it always looked fascinating and a GameBoy port has a much better chance of holding up on a phone I'd imagine. (PS - unlock Special difficulty and boss rush mode by going to the title screen with "Press Select" shown…

Do yourself a favor and play this definitive version of the legendarily soul-crushing DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou. Absolute masterpiece. Legend has it since this port's release in 2021 japanese super-players have been throwing themselves against this brutasl clear for almost 43 years. Are you up for the challenge

I got to play DoDonPachi DaiOuJou in english with a fan patch and I bought it legally supporting the creators for a fair and affordable price. Best version of DoDonPachi DaiOuJou.

Don’t let anyone tell you we don’t have Dodonpachi DaiOuJou on Steam. On the one hand, it’s really funny that this exists. On the other it’s really cool that these games have been preserved, quirky and niche as they might be. As for the game itself, it seems pretty good if you take it for what it is. I want to compare it to the GG games from the Aleste series, but I don’t think it quite reaches their heights. Overall though, I think I really like this? It’s CAVE stripped down to its barest elements, and it shows that the formula still works even in this simplified form and is a hell of a lot of fun. Movement seems snappy enough, but the attacks have a mushy feel to them with pretty substantial delay that you’ll need to plan for. Switching from full auto to laser can frankly be a pain in the ass—normally I’ll hold full auto and press the laser/lockshot/slow movement button when I want to do that, but if I try that here it just doesn’t read the second input. I’m sure that was a limitation of the phones this was played on, so can’t really complain here. The audio is predictably a bit simple, with fairly minimal music and explosions that sound like someone practicing eighth not…

i really like this, and its easier than the original, why not

It's certainly DAI-OU-JOU, but not DX as the title suggests. Instead, if you see it as a complimentary piece to the original arcade version (Now that we live in a world where M2 has released Rinne Tensei), it's a fun time alongside the extra Boss Rush one! You will be very disappointed, otherwise.
