Reign of Bullets

A pleasant surprise! Wasn't sure what to expect from the screenshots, but it has a few fresh takes on the SHMUP genre. It lacks a bit in personality, in variety and in balance, but it's still a perfectly decent title with a relaxing core loop with a bit of grinding, but not to the point of becoming a chore. Reminded me of Jets-n-Guns in some ways. 7/10

This game is pretty well put together! I do my share of badge crafting, something for which you get game coupons. While I used to largely ignore these, I've taken it as an opportunity to add some games to my collection I might not otherwise hear of. Reign of Bullets is one of those games today! A pretty straight forward side-scrolling shooter with smooth 2D graphics. While I'm only less than an hour in and admittedly playing on 'Beginner', the first 10 levels have shown that this game will definitely scale well and offer some replayability. In this SHMUP, you collect scrap during each level (about 1.5 minutes in length) and use that on upgrades to weapons that you find and upgrades to abilities. Here's where the game seems to have put some clever thought into what it's doing. Upon each level's completion (or defeat) you'll have a few random items from the level that'll get added to your inventory. These are usually weapons for your ship or upgrades for the slots that weapons have to them. The game was wise to make these weapons have a rarity to them and 10~ or so stat lines to give you a good variety to the the weapons you find. You'll be revisiting the hangar regularly to …

Sexiest Shoot'Em Up of them all

To start I don't like this genre, and I don't really like this game. But I can't deny that it can be fun, and if you like shoot em up, bullet hell, space shooters, roguelikes yadayada, then you will probably like this too. It has a heavy focus on customizing your weapons. Each stage nets you new weapons and scrap to buy upgrades like more weapon slots and health. That's all well and good, and definitely makes the game more fun. But since customizing is such a huge part of the game, you'd think the menu to do so would be easier to use. At first, I didn't even realize I didn't have anything equipped. It's not self-explanatory and took me a minute to figure out what was going on. Then unequipping and equipping weapons feels like a chore for how much mouse movement you have to do and made me dread having to update my weapons. And speaking of mouse movement, don't use one. Try a controller. Moving the mouse moves your ship, and it doesn't respond well. If you move your mouse too fast, the ship kind of just loses track and stops moving. When you have to dodge thousands of bullets, pinpoint movements are essential, and that's just not present in this game, at least with my mouse. And mo…
