How it feels

A fast and strategic bullet-hell shooter that demands precise timing and pattern memorization against relentless enemy waves.

What players say

Players love the weapon system and soundtrack but warn this is one of the hardest shmups ever. The chain mechanic is essential for leveling weapons, and ignoring it makes the already-tough bosses feel nearly impossible. Some find it satisfying once they learn the systems, others give up.
