Shooting them down increases a bar that gives you two features: 1)Triggers a short bullet clearing wave when hit if you have enough bar 2) When full gives you access to some screen clearing/filling burst lazers (by pressing a button0 that turns enemies, and their bullets if they die, into medals. Based on how many of them you collect a secondary bar fills that activates at the end of the lazer clearing burst that allows you to get melee with opponents/stage structures for more medals and score for up to 4 seconds.You also have a secondary weapon that gets replaced with completly different ones by pickups in stages (found 3 different ones).ProsNice visualsNice adrenaline burst with the continuous waves of enemies and the ship's superweaponNice sound effectsConsAlways starts windowed. Have to alt+enter each time.Sometimes crackling audio sound artifact.Doesn't launch with steam in offline mode.Maybe the visuals are 720p. LOVE this game! Was a bit weary and wishlisted it to come on sale, but after only getting 10% off, I feel it was a very fair price. Says DX11, but looks like DX9.0c to me. Not a bad thing, just an observation. I love you shooting your ememies to power up your shields, a fun and unique style of play. 12 fairly long levels, but bosses are just too easy. Have played early access titles that feel more finished, but it looks like the developers are on the right track with constantly updating the game. Did have problems setting the game to fullscreen from the options menu, would get a black screen and game would lock up, forcing me to restart my PC. Not sure if its because of my ultrawide screen(2560x1080), but if I press ALT+ENTER, it switches to fullscreen and windowed mode just fine. Something that many older dx9.0c title do with Windows10, but this is supposed to be a DX11 title, so I am a little baffled. But if you are sitting on the fence, I can highly recommend this game to any shmup fan, its well worth the asking price.. But don't let the little things like that stop you from buying this title, its an AMAZING game! Its got XBox360 written all over it, really looking forward to see what updates the developer has in store for us, because they have added quite a bit of content from the time it was released until I bought it. And they just added score attack today. The developers are really trying! KUDOS!!!!. This is another Japanese bullet hell shooter that, like many other good ones, brings several unique elements to separate itself from the rest of the pack. There are at least 4 playable characters, the length of the game is good (12 stages), and once you figure out the special/super weapon systems it's not only high-scoring but fair in terms of difficulty for beginners. The story mode adds nice variety although the subtitles and dialogue are borderline cheesy at times and the English is understandably broken. It doesn't distract form the solid gameplay though and each character/ship has different attributes. If you buy the "Threat of third force" DLC you get an additional play mode (I haven't tried it yet)..I only have one real complaint-during gameplay, at least with a controller, there seems to be no way to auto-hide the mouse cursor so it's always showing the "loading" circle during the action-does not directly affect the gameplay but is a real nuisance and it would be nice to see it fixed-given the game is over 3 years old I don't think it will though.Another lesser-known entry in the genre that is more than worth the price, but if you happen to see it on sale buy it without hesitation. If you get the bundle with the soundtrack (decent) you'll save a couple bucks too.. I rate the game Hurricane of the Varstray: Collateral Hazard 4/5. Good.This is another "Schmup" (I'm not sure where that term comes from but I think it's some sort of partial abbreviation) game wherein loads of enemies fly in from the top of the screen to be continuously annihilated (if you can react in time) by the loads of firepower you continuously shoot towards the top of the screen. You control a little futuristic spacecraft (which you view from a top-down angle) and dodge the enemies and their own numerous (but slower moving) projectiles as the landscape scrolls by beneath your ship.Though extremely easy (usually games in this genre are extremely, impossibly hard), this game is good for a lot of reasons.This game has,-Good graphics which are colorful and pretty throughout.-Good techno music often with nice driving beats (unusually good for a game of this type actually).-At least adequate sound effects.-Good enemies which are at least somewhat inventive and unique looking.-Good controls which are highly responsive.-Fairly good voice acting (but the audio is in Japanese) but is often funny sounding (probably intentionally) at times with amazingly, hilariously bad Japanese to English translated subtitles.-Tries really hard to have a detailed plot with characters which you care about (indeed the ending occasionally brings me almost to tears for such is the excellence of the voice acting).-Nifty, (though totally overdone) anime style complete with a fairly long anime styled slideshow at the game's conclusion.But the plot, though excellently detailed, does have a serious problem. It is perhaps the most unintentionally funny and confusing time travel paradox I have seen in a long time. As if this plot wasn't confusing and convoluted enough already, the spoken dialogue (spoken in Japanese only) is written in amazingly, hilariously broken English. When I say broken English, I mean to an extent that often puts the phrase "All your base are belong to us" and the game that phrase is from to utter shame. The amazingly bad Japanese-to-English translations throughout this game are utterly hilarious and make the game more funny and entertaining than it ever could have intentionally been and, unlike every previous game I can think of which has such consistently bad Japanese-to-English translations, this game's dialogue and accompanying text goes on and on and on (much like this review). Philosophical concepts, vulgar dialogue, intimate feelings, political intrigue, crazy sci-fi time travel paradoxes, all of it is written in what might be one of the worst translations to English I have ever seen or heard of. The hilariousness of the mistranslations alone, especially in this day and age, should make this game an instant cult classic. But beyond the badly translated dialogue and crazily convoluted plot, there is still a truly excellent (though fairly easy and remarkably forgiving) classic early 1990's arcade style game here and I feel lucky to have stumbled upon it. There are multiple modes and multiple difficulties and not very many bugs (the worst of which is this game's tendency to have to be told each time you start it that it should run in full-screen mode).I sincerely hope that a sequel is made. In fact, I can hardly wait for it so I can see if the Japanese to English translation has improved.. Terrible translation with grammatical mistakes everywhere. There's a story and even voice acting, but I didn't care enough to read what was going on.- Non-stop chaotic, intense bullet patterns, not fun to play. The only saving grace is that you have a shield, so you don't die in one hit.- Bland uninspired levels. Actually, I think it even reused the same level template multiple times.- Bland uninspired bosses + enemies. Same enemies, same boss (but slightly different looking) every single time.+ There seems to be a lot to unlock, at least.I got this for 50 cents and I still feel cheated. Get something else instead unless you're starved for a SHMUP.. The review from fireballcarwar is spot on and I wouldn't add more than what he said.The game is like a pa♥♥♥♥♥o on fire more than a shoot them up (almost). Clearing the game will only takes you few tries, so for survival matters, this game is really easy, even on its harder Advanced mode. So the whole point of this game consist of its scoring system which is VERY addictive and simple to understand.Few thing I must add:The leaderboard does not seperate the difficulty mode, it's all in one bag, that you play easy or hard mode.Replay isn't working and it's not even possible to select it, even thou it is on screen, same for the challenge mode. Really weird...Music is excellent in this game, not the usual euro trance Dojin game can deliver.If you are into modern shoot them up and love to get tons of flashy items such as a Cave game, you might like this one, even thou it's very different than the usual shmup genre. I recommand it, it's a lot of fun !. quot;I'm telling you, I'm under age.". This game is... Excellent! More considering from how small Studio SiestA is.The references to Trouble Witches (Their most popular STG game out there, you should check it out too) are amazing, the bullet and hitbox is awesome, the history is even very cool too.Now here is the thing that... most people for some... reason... Don't seem to know lolThis game is 4 to 5 buttons, one of them is to make the ship slowdown, if you don't press it, you are at max speed, just remember that when getting the game (So, don't even try to play this on Keyboard unleast you have perfect control and anti ghosting)As I said before, I really love what this is, just a bit odd you cannot do TATE on it, weird lol.But everything else is really good, going to check out the new expansion too.. Game is extemely easy, pretty much boring after the first five minutes. There was absolutely no challenge in dodging or screen clearing. If you like score attack and the only thing you care about is getting the high multipliers/leaderboards, go ahead and get the game; otherwise, I'd skip it.
