Re: [D-Lis] Bullet Requiem
Grabbed it, played it, beat it. Gallery unlocks based on levels cleared, clear the game and unlock everything. Complete save file attached. Read on for my thoughts.
This game is great. I just wanna start this off by saying that; the game plays wonderfully and while there are a few irritating game mechanics, once you get used to them they feel innovative (warp points in stage 6, I'm looking at you). The boss fights are a great balance of challenge and plausibility, which is great. The maps reward exploration and the placement of enemies encourages you to take your time and clear everything, not to mention how great the actual h content is. This game is great.
All that said, my biggest complaints are just how infuriating I found a couple of the mechanics to be - at first, once I got used to them it was fine - but the ropes and the warp points in particular were introduced almost out of the blue, bringing a whole bunch of challenges with them. I'd also like to be able to upgrade my damage more than 5 times, but that's a personal gripe more than anything else.
It's always great for a genuinely good game to come out, and while there have been (and will continue to be) a bunch of good ones coming out, this one is still pretty damned impressive. Not to mention it's the circle's first game! I'm eager to see what the next one is like.
Rate 8/10
Great gameplay, well designed bosses, great art & animations. Difficulty sometimes spikes without warning, can be frustrating as a result. Overall very good.
