Zero's Fantastic Anecdote

⠀

"Zero's Fantastic Anecdote" is a very badly made "alternative" shoot 'em up/bullet hell that looks like it was designed for mobile phones, with an irritating 16:9 aspect ratio playing area, hideous graphics, hideous controls and a hideous premise too. This features really godawful, lazy pixelcrap "art" instead of real graphics. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating 3D visuals, or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision, and that's a major deterrent to gamers. Games like Terraria and Stardew Valley succeeded [i]despite[/i] the bad graphics, not because of them. This is only free in a rudimentary sense... the developer has their hand out for an eye watering $7 USD "donation" for this as you're expected to buy some extra DLC from Steam... digital panhandling. Like the homeless guys who splash dirty water on your windscreen at the traffic lights. No thanks. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 4 concurrent players... this is a dismal public …

Bear's Take: "Zero's Fantastic Anecdote" - A tale of frustration and missed opportunities. Sip 'n' Savor: "Zero's Fantastic Anecdote" promises a thrilling journey into the world of Danmaku Shooting, but unfortunately, it falls short of its ambitions. Players are greeted with an insurmountable obstacle right from the start - the main menu. The inability to progress beyond this point severely hampers the game's potential for enjoyment. Milk Mustache Moment: While some may argue that the inability to navigate the main menu could be an intentional part of the game's design, it ultimately detracts from the overall experience. Instead of immersing players in a thrilling adventure, it leaves them frustrated and disheartened, wondering if they've missed out on something truly special. Roar Factor: Despite its promising premise, "Zero's Fantastic Anecdote" fails to deliver on its potential due to fundamental issues with accessibility and functionality. While it's possible that there's a deeper layer to the game that remains inaccessible to many players, it's difficult to justify recommending a title that struggles to even get off the ground. Final Paw-sition: "Zero's Fantastic Anecdote"…

After testing it out for a little bit I will say it seems quite good The sound track and the effects are also really nice Some small issues I have though 1. There is not really any noise from beating the mini bosses or the spell cards, this could intended and me just be being used to Len'en Project so my brain thinks it should be there. 2. The controls seem slightly off when moving, not enough to ruin it but it is there if you notice it Overall great little game from what I have tested so far and I likely will go back and finish it
