Had a lot of fun playing this new KONAMI Shoot ’em Up game lately. A true progression for the genre! Have you tried it? What do you think?

Based on what I've played and what you've shown here, this game is trying to be Radiant Silvergun and not quite doing it. (In fact, one of the boss battles looks like a blatant ripoff of (or maybe homage to?) one of RS's bosses. Really needs to find some way to balance the amazing graphics with visual fidelity.
@AmbrociousXP January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
This game was one of the hardest games I ever played!

I can't seem to get past the first 5 seconds of this video for some reason

So basically it's just Ikaruga but on crack.

What an incredible game! Wow! I was searching for a game similar to RESOGUN and this has got to be [it]!
@socialkidmusic January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
This is actually a very bad game. Very disappointing, it plays bad.
@BruceKarrde January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
What I love about the game is the environment and the bosses. There is one sequence where you follow a canal and suddenly - wham! No more canal but a huge drop with waterfall and ground warfare. I keep getting amazed with the game.
@MARK-r6c3k January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Thanks for this. Guess I'll take it off my wish list. I don't want it to be really hard and die all the time. Just want it to be fun and look Cool.
@nukemman January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Hahaha This game is crap.

I was feeling that something ain`t right... Then I look at PG7.... Yeah, now I know why it feels cringe.

I hate when games throw you in meat grinder right at a start like that. Uninstall.
@dycseu January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Just a sales agent for Konami I suppose. I have been playing shnups for decades now and I sincerely hope, this one won’t be the future of the genre. This game is hectic, unbalanced, the controls are shit and unnecessarily complicated and the worst thing is to me, I did not have any fun with it. And by the way, the graphics are not that awesome either.

Why is this game so crazy hard? Like even the first level feels completely impossible to do.
@Vespyr_ January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
I'm sure the camera shake can be disabled right?
@gizmo6746 January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Great game but the upgrade system is terrible.
@skmed83 January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Don't know why that's a problem. These type of games back in the day didn't explain anything. You just had to learn as you went along. Anybody ever play Gradius III on SNES? Or R-Type?
@KhaziirEverflight January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
I honestly can't even get through the first mission xD

Sooooo, you are expected to play as a little girl with a big arse? Pass.
@daserfomalhaut9809 January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
This game is dogshit. Devil Blade, Devil Engine, Blue Revolver, and Natsuki Chronicles are far better games. This is not the best STG in years. Not even remotely close.
@dexterramey8787 January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Reminds me of Galactic Attack.
@FortuneHunters January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
"So now we have another remarkable combination of a studio making a game in a niche they know nothing about, with journalists that know nothing about that niche either, for an audience that also knows nothing."

Brain dead D tier shump. Just throwing the same enemy repeatedly with no thought about bullet pattern.
@barnstar2077 January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Glad I watched this before I started to play!
@KaeL111 January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
So much good stuff, and yet, so much lacking...

(+)
Graphics and animation (9/10)
Epic music (7/10)
Game dynamics and steering (7/10)
Background story and worldbuilding (nice thing there is one)
Novel weapon/shields energy management system (interesting and fun approach)
Coop option (it is lot of fun, and makes missions a lot easier, the difficulty does not scale)
Great boss designs and epic boss fights

(-)
The game is too short - after completing 7 campaign missions you feel like this should be like "end of Chapter 1" out of at least 5 chapters. It is not.
Unbalanced difficulty level - The first mission is the most difficult of all 7 missions. How come??
Low weapons variety - or actually, no variety at all. There is one basic weapon, with few modes (directions) of fire and two power levels (with or without drones)
Lacking tutorial - ie, it does not explain ship development mechanics at all
Confusing and poor ship development - why can't we buy more shields? more energy slots? more upgrades? different weapons? special effects (temporary invulnerability, slow time, different types of missiles, etc etc) Also, the mechanics of certain upgrades could be explained with animated examples (I beat the game and still don't know what some upgrades do...) - so much could be improved here!!
Low enemy variety (not tragically low, just ordinary low ;) Relates both to looks and to behaviour/attack patterns.
Boss fight stages could be more diverse
The only in-flight drops are energy cells. There could be many more different types of drop, making the game more interesting.
Bugs! - fortunately, just some minor ones. Weapon modes rotation stuck, or key binding reset after changing missions. Nothing game-breaking.

Generally speaking, this game feels like a demo version, or a beta of a great, epic universe, where a whole series of games/campaigns could take place. The background story and even a small "wikipedia" about the Cygni solar system give you a feeling there has to be something more in this game and in this world. Sadly, there isn't. At least not for now - I hope the devs will add some additional content, expand/rebuild the ship upgrade design, and make a proper game out of it. I would definitely want to play more. But after beating those 7 levels, which took me roughly 4 hours total time (including grinding first level on Easy mode for extra upgrade points and upgrading the ship to the max), I don't feel like the game has anything more to offer.

Should you buy it? If you like the bullet-hell genre, I'd say "not for the full price" ;) The nominal price of cca 30$ is imho too steep - for a game this short I would give 10$ max. But since I got it on Epic for free, I feel totally lucky :)

My total rating: 6/10
@FranklySean January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Free on the Epic Game Store means they have no faith in this game, and took the quick payout.
@nemoguy January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
It's mid
@iwanttocomplain January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
No it looks very bland. The overall concept seems not to be fully realised. It tries to tread a line between twin stick controls and the scene is very busy, with alot of animation and it's very dark and gloomy which I think would make your eyes tired.

I would have approached this game a bit differently. Making something more strategic which leans towards dodging and automate all firepower to automatically target enemies to leave you to plot your path and level up your guns.

That's how I would design a next generation game of this kind. That's a 0 button gameplay scheme.
@JamonRangel January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Great gameplay and graphics awesome
@rwxstudio7173 January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
interesting timing. The game is currently free on the Epic Store.
I know, Epic sucks and all that. Just saying, I wasn't expecting a game launched in 2024 to be given away already.
@StoolSamples January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
I love that Sonic shirt man! I have a million Super Mario Shirts, I need to get myself a Sonic one.
@Elkatook666 January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
anyone interested this game is free THIS WEEK until august 15 on epic game store
@murfad January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
got it on epic

weirdly, playing with an xbox controller on windows, the aiming is completely broken....
@RideByNight January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
I had the same exact experience. Got annihilated repeatedly and then found the tutorial which helped a surprising amount.
@mcgibs January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
I just want a new Tyrian with graphics like this
@necavenue January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
I beat the game on easy mode. Now I need to do more upgrades so I could beat it on medium.
@arvinrunstein5707 January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
Awesome. Just got a copy on PS5
@bluecoldbreeze January 10, 2025 - 12:36 am
In my experience this game has been an absolute nightmare to play on PC with WASD controls. Why not just fly with the mouse and aim with keys? Are they dumb? Also super confusing and game play feels like a panic fest with no real skill set since the controls limit what I'm capable of achieving. The music is also really forgettable. I'd give this a 1/10 and thank GOD I did not have to pay money for this.
