Carlos writes: "Bullet-hell shooters are a very specific breed of game, one that usually requires a very specific group of players to enjoy them. Whilst anyone can of course jump on in, chances are the only ones who will really enjoy them are those who either like being the ultimate underdog in an overbearing battle, or those who have mastered cat-like reflexes and see each title as a test to prove nothing is impossible. Surprisingly though, despite having been the interest of a rather niche market for some time, recent years have seen these types of games rising in popularity. With another recently arriving on Xbox One, I jumped in to see if I had the necessary reflexes or if I’d simply be throwing my controller across the room in rage."
Shoot’em ups have always and still have a very special place in Robs heart. From the early 90’s of discovering After Burner II (and it’s awesome moving cabinet) to the Star Wars Trilogy Arcade . Rob has always been attracted to their frantic fast paced gameplay that has always demanded my inner Jedi to come out and test his reflexes!
XBA says: A bullet hell shoot-em-up with some unique mechanics that impresses.
