Game: A great shooting game, and considered by many to be Cave's easiest one, so a good place to start. The era of Cave's pre-rendered CG sprite graphics technique (or whatever it is) was at its height around this time, so it's beautiful. It also has a Namiki soundtrack which has a lot of iconic songs. Since writing this review, I've got arcade mode clears of all the non dlc characters, and a sakura arcade clear in MBL (though, it was in the newer port...), so I'll remove the part about how I totally suck. Really love this game. Port: The consensus is that this is a decent port, in terms of input lag, slowdown, etc. There may be a lot of missing slowdown on the extra stages, but I am unsure if that is still the case. The Deathsmiles I & II port that is also on steam is considered more definitive in these regards, but it's also more expensive. Buy that one if you really love this game. You can get this one for a very good price in a bundle with two other excellent CV1000 Cave games, so it's still worth it unless you are hard committing to Deathsmiles (or god forbid Deathsmiles II). The biggest issue is the training mode could use improvement (boss select, especially).

Probably my favourite of the CAVE Bullet hell games. Each character plays differently from one another and the levels have a great charm. Bosses are difficult and fun and the soundtrack is fantastic. This game is also more accessible than many of CAVES other games.

A very fun shmup / bullet game, super tricky but worth playing (and you get unlimited continues which is good for getting the hang of how to play!!)
