Pushpa M. Vallampati is my new waifu. Wish there was less shooting from space ships and other and dumb action segments, because I really just want to listen to Pushpa talk all day.1 found this helpful
The Hurricane of the Varstray -Collateral Hazard-, developed by Studio SiestA and published by Rocket-Engine Co., Ltd., is a high-energy vertical shoot ’em up that channels the intensity of classic arcade bullet-hell games while adding its own modern polish and narrative flair. It’s a game that feels both nostalgic and fresh—a tribute to an era of shooters defined by reflex, pattern recognition, and precision, while still daring to experiment with structure and storytelling. The premise is firmly rooted in the familiar sci-fi framework of interstellar war. Humanity faces destruction at the hands of a mysterious mechanical army, and the only hope rests on four elite female pilots who set off into the Varstray sector to confront the enemy and end the conflict.

Upon learning the severity of the self-inflicted damage, I became almost suicidal. Keep in mind that just a few months before this, I was the happiest man, with no history of depression or anxiety. I had never experienced anger outbursts, nor was I the type to break down and cry, but I was in a tough situation that truly prevented me from seeing the light on the other side. With nothing better to do, I looked for a game I could play WITH ONE HAND while recovering. Somehow, I stumbled upon this game and read some of the comments. I decided it was worth a try... I must admit I didn't beat the game, nor did I play as much as some of y…1 found this helpful
