I rarely buy games I never heard of, my rule is if I haven't heard of it, it probably sucks. Well this game was on sale on steam and it looked like castlevania. 2D artwork, a gothic castle, and I could always use a new castlevania like game and it was like a dollar. So I bought it and started it. "To shoot move the stick in the direction you want", uhh ok. That's not very castlevania. "To dodge preserve left right or up." Wait, how do I move? Yup I bought a game where you can move. In this game you stand in the center of the screen and you can dodge one step to the left and one step to the right, that's it. Enemies appear around you in a circle and you just shoot at them like a twin stick shooter. The hook is there are certain enemies that blow up and give you a piece of a music record, collect four and you learn a new skill that you get to use from that point on. So it's kind of rogue like, get enough skills and surviving to the next level becomes easy. Skills do add to the small depth the combat has, at high levels it is a bullet hell kind of game. But it's so simple, dodge back and forth and shoot stuff, save up for power attacks, repeat. There are three stages and it ends with a bizzaro fight against Vario, some evil Mario clone. After that you unlock endless mode where you can get a few more records and skills, this mode is super difficult. Beating the game takes like 25 minutes or so. This is not even worth playing at a dollar, there is just nothing to the game. It's technically sound, mechanically it's ok, but it's such a small simple game. Why did I bother playing it, eh at least it was over before I could quit. |

Thank you for telling me to avoid this drivel.
