TLDR: This game is awesome. Story time: Recently I've been dabbling in game programming (having been a programmer for some years). The type of game I always considered creating was a bullet hell/space shooter/shmup/whatever they are called. Growing up I played both side scrolling (gradius style) and 1942-esque games. This is my first foray into the total bullet hell type game, and I have to say I both suck at them and enjoy them at the same time. It's so much fun to move in and around all the bullets, trying to graze them and get high scores. There's no story to this game (I typically play story driven games) just mindless, arcade fun. I have nothing bad to say about this game. I'm not an expert on shmups, I don't know yet about all the various pieces that make up a good one, but I can say with certainty that if you like this style of game you won't regret it. I'd have paid more for it, but at 4.99 it's really hard to beat.

This is in the top tier of frenesi-inducing adrenaline-blasting TRUE bullet hell, on pair with with Dodonpachi, some of the Touhou series, Kaikan, Kamui, Thunder Force 3/4 (not BH) and a few others. I mean, when I think shmups, this game is one of them first to comes to mind. Immense replayability and fun! AWESOME Metal OST GREAT Gameplay Must play for all shmups fans

Fun. Danmaku Unlimited 2 is slightly easier than its sequel due to its simpler mechanics. It doesn't make it any less fun though. When this game came out indies were just getting started here on steam and this game could be considered the grandfather of the resurgence of shoot 'em up STG games on the platform. At the time most thought that old school genres were dead, played out and decrepit. But from the ashes of the pit of the early 2010's a fire shown bright, that old school shooters weren't dead they were simply evolving into something more. We have games like this to thank for that. Truly inspiring.

Someone else said it best, "Just go play Danmaku Unlimited 3" I am a big fan of DU3 so I purchased this game to see the developer's progress from DU2 to DU3. DU3 is sometimes criticized for it's lack of level-depth. I played over 20hrs of DU3, and I can agree that DU3's levels do tend to blur together with all but Level 4 being memorable; in the same vein, DU2 lacks even more level innovation. With Level 5 being the exception with it's backdrop maze of battleships firing predictable bullets whilst other enemies whirl in with homed in shots. The real beauty of the Danmaku Universe is the mass amount of bullets that never quit feel overwhelming thanks to the ship's loadout and ability to clear bullets, and we can couple this with the fact that many of the bullets exist for purely visual overload and have no bearing on destroying your ship. Also, everything in these games feel dodge-able. That is a feeling I don't get in a lot of games. The patterns are fairly well defined, and there are few "cheap" shots. And let's not forget to mention the tick tick tick of bullets grazing your ship. Some shmups have zero grazing feedback and awful recognition for bullet grazing. DU is fair and forgiving. The grazing just feels good. I honestly believe it has to do with the visual and audio cue combo allowing the brain to register it to muscle memory faster. That Blankfeld level 1 intro music just hits the right atmosphere for the game. Love it. It really ties the series together. Color palette is top-notch. Bright neon bullets. Ship mucho. - Graphics are blurry in this one. Love DU's scoring. No other shmup series really hooked me on scoring. Like this is basically the only one. All other's I only play to git good enough to beat the true final bosses. Buy it if you like DU3 and want to support the dev, but don't go for DU2 if you haven't played DU3.
