Good.This is another "Schmup" (I'm not sure where that term comes from but I think it's some sort of partial abbreviation) game wherein loads of enemies fly in from the top of the screen to be continuously annihilated (if you can react in time) by the loads of firepower you continuously shoot towards the top of the screen. You control a little futuristic spacecraft (which you view from a top-down angle) and dodge the enemies and their own numerous (but slower moving) projectiles as the landscape scrolls by beneath your ship.Though extremely easy (usually games in this genre are extremely, impossibly hard), this game is good for a lot of reasons.This game has,-Good graphics which are colorful and pretty throughout.-Good techno music often with nice driving beats (unusually good for a game of this type actually).-At least adequate sound effects.-Good enemies which are at least somewhat inventive and unique looking.-Good controls which are highly responsive.-Fairly good voice acting (but the audio is in Japanese) but is often funny sounding (probably intentionally) at times with amazingly, hilariously bad Japanese to English translated subtitles.-Tries really hard to have a detailed plot with characters which you care about (indeed the ending occasionally brings me almost to tears for such is the excellence of the voice acting).-Nifty, (though totally overdone) anime style complete with a fairly long anime styled slideshow at the game's conclusion.But the plot, though excellently detailed, does have a serious problem. It is perhaps the most unintentionally funny and confusing time travel paradox I have seen in a long time. As if this plot wasn't confusing and convoluted enough already, the spoken dialogue (spoken in Japanese only) is written in amazingly, hilariously broken English. When I say broken English, I mean to an extent that often puts the phrase "All your base are belong to us" and the game that phrase is from to utter shame. The amazingly bad Japanese-to-English translations throughout this game are utterly hilarious and make the game more funny and entertaining than it ever could have intentionally been and, unlike every previous game I can think of which has such consistently bad Japanese-to-English translations, this game's dialogue and accompanying text goes on and on and on (much like this review). Philosophical concepts, vulgar dialogue, intimate feelings, political intrigue, crazy sci-fi time travel paradoxes, all of it is written in what might be one of the worst translations to English I have ever seen or heard of. The hilariousness of the mistranslations alone, especially in this day and age, should make this game an instant cult classic. But beyond the badly translated dialogue and crazily convoluted plot, there is still a truly excellent (though fairly easy and remarkably forgiving) classic early 1990's arcade style game here and I feel lucky to have stumbled upon it. There are multiple modes and multiple difficulties and not very many bugs (the worst of which is this game's tendency to have to be told each time you start it that it should run in full-screen mode).I sincerely hope that a sequel is made. In fact, I can hardly wait for it so I can see if the Japanese to English translation has improved.. This is a great bullet heaven, and a good choice for first-time shmup players.Tons of weak enemies to absolutely decimated and plenty of rather satisfying weapons to do it with.. I can't possibly tell if the game is good or not because:- when my desktop is set to 144 Hz, the game runs way too fast- when I disable "use maximum refresh" from the NVidia control panel, the game runs... way too slowI suppose it would work if I set my desktop to 60 Hz but I don't want to do that. Tired of those games not running properly without messing around.. It's an alright game, pretty casual friendly since it doesn't really punish you for dying, so you can keep going even if you're really bad at the game, it also respawns you right where you died.Looks and sounds pretty good, gameplay is fun alright, story mode has a ton of text to read for a shmup game, so that's an extra if you like it.If you want punishment look somewhere else, this is not your 3 lives or GTFO shmup.Still a recommend to get during a sale, it's a good enough game to spend 1 or 2 dollars on if you like shmups.. - Terrible translation with grammatical mistakes everywhere. There's a story and even voice acting, but I didn't care enough to read what was going on.- Non-stop chaotic, intense bullet patterns, not fun to play. The only saving grace is that you have a shield, so you don't die in one hit.- Bland uninspired levels. Actually, I think it even reused the same level template multiple times.- Bland uninspired bosses + enemies. Same enemies, same boss (but slightly different looking) every single time.+ There seems to be a lot to unlock, at least.I got this for 50 cents and I still feel cheated. Get something else instead unless you're starved for a SHMUP.
