this game is really good wtf im having loads of fun going on the hardest mode with hard paths and amazed i'm actually making progress hard game but good, not a bullet hell, like toaplan games except F a s t, genesis-chipset soundtrack (very good)1 found this helpful
Recomended but with a few reservation. Interesting retro shmup based in 90´s arcade (mainly toaplan) with modern conviniences like autofire, small hitbox and focus button. the controls are spot on. The graphics are below average. look they are made in paint, and everything is too much colourful and make me bleed my eyes with long playing sessions. The bullet visibility could be improved a lot, but you will get used. I do undertand that is a small indie dev, with small budget for a niche audience but they could be improved, just see the example of the indie dev terarin that goes for simplicity and does things so much better in the graphic department. The bullet patterns are simple, and fun as expected in a classic shmup where there are lesser but faster bullets aimed at the player. The difficulty is a bit high, but not excessive. The music is a big improvement over zenodeath, and fits weel into the action. Fortunaly they learn lessons from zenodeath and improved a lot. There is a unlock system that is a bit grindy that i am not big fun. The price is high considering that there are better offers in the market at the same price or even cheaper. I can only recomend this game if has…1 found this helpful
The difficulty curve on this shmup is just about perfect. I'm not normally able to 1cc these sorts of games, but working my way up from normal to expert over time was successful, and the generous practice mode and character selection potential allows you to find a playstyle that works for you. The thrill of getting a 1cc in a not trivial game was fun.1 found this helpful
Vertical shooter with a futuristic retro theme. Solid controls. Fast reflex based gameplay. Interesting shot swap mechanic. Gorgeous retro presentation, graphics and audio. Oldschool.

Zenodyne R is a retro-inspired arcade shooter that captures the spirit of classic 1990s shoot ’em ups with remarkable confidence. Developed by Team Grybanser Fox, the game fully embraces old-school arcade design by focusing on fast reflexes, overwhelming enemy patterns, and skill-based progression rather than cinematic storytelling or modern accessibility features. Every aspect of the experience, from the pixel-art visuals to the aggressive pacing and synthesizer-heavy soundtrack, feels designed specifically for players who appreciate the intensity and challenge of traditional arcade shooters. The gameplay revolves around navigating heavily armed spacecraft through increasingly dangerous stages filled with enemy formations, environmental hazards, and dense projectile patterns. From the very beginning, Zenodyne R establishes an unforgiving pace where survival depends on precise movement and constant situational awareness. Enemy attacks arrive rapidly, forcing players to weave through narrow spaces while maintaining offensive pressure against swarms of enemies. The game rarely allows moments of rest, creating a nonstop arcade experience driven entirely by momentum and concentration.…
