A Simple But Fun Bullet Hell Game This review is from the perspective of someone who 100%s games on Steam ---{ Graphics / Art Direction }--- β You forget what reality is β Beautiful β Good β Decent β Bad β Donβt look too long at it β MS-DOS Note: Nothing crazy of note. The game has a simple art style which they stick to and it works well! ---{ Gameplay }--- β Very good β Good β It's just gameplay β Mehh β Watch paint dry instead β Just don't Note: The basic concept of this game is to throw you into a bullet hell and see how long you can survive. Despite this simple concept, the game does a good job adding unique twists and features along the way to spice up gameplay. If you enjoy games that just throw you in a room and tell you to survive then I think you will enjoy this game. There is also some little puzzle solving if you want to see all the rooms. Most of these are pretty easy to solve, but a couple I did have to find guides for. ---{ Audio }--- β Eargasm β Very good β Good β Not too bad β Bad β I'm now deaf Note: This game slots comfortably in the good slot when it comes to audio. Nothing is bad, but also there werenβt any tracks that stuck out to me. ---{ Audience }--- β Kids β Teens β Adults β Grandma Note: Most violent part of the game is dying to a disk. If you think you can handle that, then you will be ok. ---{ PC Requirements }--- β Check if you can run paint β Potato β Decent β Fast β Rich boi β Ask NASA if they have a spare computer Note: This game is not very demanding. ---{ Game Size }--- β Floppy Disk β Old Fashioned β Workable β Big β Will eat 10% of your 1TB hard drive β You will want an entire hard drive to hold it β You will need to invest in a black hole to hold all the data Note: Takes up 200mb on my pc. ---{ Difficulty }--- β Just press 'W' β Easy β Easy to learn / Hard to master β Significant brain usage β Difficult β Dark Souls Note: This games difficulty is a bit of a tricky subject for me. Most of the rooms are easy, taking me only 1-2 attempts. Even the βhardβ mode rooms didnβt push me that much. That being said, there are a couple hidden rooms that in my opinion are much harder than the rest of the game. This is fine on its own, but unfortunately since this game is a random bullet hell, it felt like clearing those rooms was more about waiting for some good RNG to hit then actually getting better at the room. Anyways, for the most part people who just want to play the game for the story and maybe some extra challenge rooms wonβt find this game to be that difficult. The only real challenge comes when you really want to do everything and have to clear the 1-2 RNG rooms in the game. ---{ Grind }--- β Nothing to grind β Only if u care to β Isn't necessary to progress β Average grind level β Too much grind β You'll need a second life for grinding Note: Depends if you define grinding as trying the same room over and over again. If that is the case then some of the harder rooms might be a bit βgrindyβ as you wait for some good RNG. For the most part though this is a game you can beat pretty quick. ---{ Story }--- β No Story β Some lore β Average β Good β Lovely β It'll replace your life Note: The βstoryβ of this game is told through comics and to be honest, I didnβt really get it. It ultimately felt tacked on and I wasnβt really sure what happened at the end of the game. ---{ Game Time }--- β Long enough for a cup of coffee β Short β Average β Long β To infinity and beyond Note: You can beat the main game in 2-3 hours. Getting 100% took me 8 hours. ---{ Price }--- β It's free! β Worth the price β If it's on sale β If u have some spare money left β Not recommended β You could also just burn your money Note: I personally aim for $1 per hour spent, so I would recommend waiting for a sale. ---{ Bugs }--- β Never heard of β Minor bugs β Can get annoying β ARK: Survival Evolved β The game itself is a big terrarium for bugs Note: Did not run into any bugs during my experience. ---{ Completion Experience }--- Nothing all too demanding, but there are a couple tricky achievements. The hardest one is easily surviving 20 seconds in every normal mode room. While most rooms are a walk in the park, there is one room in particular that took me about 2 hours to clear and it felt like it was mainly luck dependent. Other than that there is nothing crazy and should take less than 10 hours to complete. ---{ ? / 10 }--- β 1 β 2 β 3 β 4 β 5 β 6 β 7 β 8 β 9 β 10 Final Thoughts A fairly easy but fun bullet hell that has its fair share of unique ideas. While the story isnβt amazing and some rooms rely too much on luck, I would be lying if I didnβt say that the game was a fun ride for the most part. I would recommend checking it out! P.S Feel free to friend request me on Steam if you want to keep up on my completionist journey!
