How it feels

A blistering bullet-hell shooter that feels like a finely tuned arcade challenge, combining intense dodging with a pounding soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the core reflection mechanic that lets you bounce blue projectiles back for heavy damage, but they note the game runs long for a shmup at around 40 minutes and drags in places. Some find the final stages punishing and the visual clarity poor, while fans of Siter Skain say it stands apart from its siblings Kamui and Alltynex Second with more story focus.
