Shikhondo: Youkai Rampage is a fast-paced vertical scrolling shooter that builds upon the foundation of the original Shikhondo while expanding its content and presentation. Developed by DeerFarm and published by CFK Co., Ltd., the game embraces the traditions of arcade bullet-hell shooters while introducing a distinctive setting inspired by Korean folklore. Rather than relying on science-fiction themes or generic fantasy creatures, the game draws from myths and supernatural legends, creating an atmosphere that feels fresh within a genre often dominated by familiar tropes. The story follows a world threatened by malevolent spirits that have escaped from the underworld. Players take control of two central characters, a mysterious young woman searching for answers about her forgotten past and a Grim Reaper tasked with confronting the chaos spreading across the land. While the narrative is not the primary focus, it provides enough context to make the journey through the game's stages feel purposeful. Newly added voice acting and enhanced presentation help give the characters greater personality, making the overall experience more engaging than many traditional arcade shooters that pla…2 found this helpful
The game is beautiful. The only downside I can think of is that having the same boss theme in every stage grows old very quick.2 found this helpful
Doesn't have the screams of the damned destroy my ears after every boss fight.2 found this helpful
It's a better than the previous game, but I don't like how zoomed out the camera is compared to the previous one. It's hard to see a lot of the bullets because they are so tiny. The last game didn't have this issue. Wish there was a way to play with the same camera angle as the last game.1 found this helpful
I really disliked the game. It is not that bad but there are a few things I hated a lot and they made it really unfun for me. First and foremost, the visibility. It is bad to terrible at times. Too many colours of bullets, there are certain bullets that are the same colour as your hitbox (green). I did not like the movement of non-concentrated mode, it feels too choppy. Some of the patterns felt really random the first few times I dodged them and very unfun to dodge after I learned them. I managed to reach level 3 boss, or level 4 (cannot recall) on Normal and then switched to Easy and beat the game. I do not think it is worth it for me to go back to Normal and try to get better. There are just many more better shmup I could play instead.
Very good game. I like the difficulty, art style and music.
