With no way to defend itself against ‘Evil Shira’ Mars calls for help. The Earth Defense Force fleet fights its way to ‘Evil Shira’ and uses powerful lasers to destroy it.

From their name alone any keen arcade shoot'emup player should recognize Hucast Games dabbles in the Dreamcast-era of what we call retro. With a clear loyalty and passion for this golden age of shmups they've set out to keep the traditions of Japanese STGs alive with an explosive and intense modern polish in both visuals and gameplay. Ghost Blade HD takes this fierce and energetic take on the shoot'emup genre across 5 mesmerizing extraterrestrial stages, seeking to find its spot in history among the most classic of arcade shooters. The visuals here set a standard in shmups of their own, and unlike its gameplay are not comparable to anything released in any arcade in the past. The settings range from sand-storm inflicted deserts to lush alien planets with autumn-red trees, and always pack a vibrant punch of color. With extra sharp, crispy high resolution textures and mind-boggling amount
Great game at a great price. Knowing there are 5 levels and the first level being so short, I was thinking oh no, going to be a short game. Not quite the case, its not too short, but not too long either. A lot of action and bullets. There are 2 things that annoy me a little though, but this is completely subjective, many like this in a shmup, is slowdown during heavy bullet scenes(but can be disabled in the options, thank you kindly) and the 3 coins per play. But more credits can be unlocked, so keep trying. This a very good title, its a back to basics arcade shmup with a pretty cool scoring system. Three different pilots to choose from, essentially all the same except for different shot patterns. Lots of power ups, giving you massive destructive abilities. 3 button scheme, regular shot, focus shot and bomb. Although it doesnt have it, a story mode would be a welcome addition considering
MY POOR EYES (or why I wish I hadn't bought this on a whim, off a key reseller, so I could refund now) It's an euro-shmup, trying to emulate popular japanese games like Dodonpachi. Unfortunately it has no interesting mechanics to dig into, no quirks, nothing special. Just regular old 2 shot types (slow+focused, faster+spread), bombs, a "combo meter" and end of stage bonuses. Bosses only have like 2 or 3 phases, unimaginative patterns and too much HP. I could live with all the genericness, maybe clear the game, have some fun in the process and then put it aside, if it wasn't for one of the worst offences a shmup can commit: bad visibility. Ghost Blade's visuals are so all over the place, it's painful: big pink bullets, tiny pink bullets, yellow bullets, green bullets, blue bullets, grey items, gold medals and stars, tiny extends. Underneath all that, somewhere, there are enemies flyin
Full disclosure: I was a beta tester for both Ghost Blade and Ghost Blade HD, but my opinion isn't tempered or influenced by that fact. -=The Good=- Nice graphics Two soundtracks to choose from Score Attack mode Three difficulty settings Sharp controls and hit detection Good diversity with the scoring system Three different ship types to choose from Lots of gameplay and visual settings to play with in the options menu -=The Bad=- Kind of short Uninspired enemy ship attack patterns Some iffy boss bullet patterns Disappointing ending(s) -=The Details=- In 2015, the Dreamcast got Ghost Blade; a fan-made vertical shmup that was created by a small team of developers. Upon release, it saw a pretty wide range of reviews. Some enjoyed it, but others found a number of problems with the game. Those problems ranged from gameplay issues such as it being too easy, to technical problems such as
Good Linux version, works well on Kubuntu 18.04 LTS. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a bullet-hell similar to Caves games. Technically this game is cutting edge for the genre, high resolution graphics and a nice soundtrack, plenty of options too.
I have a real soft spot for Ghost Blade. Despite its obvious borrowing from dodonpachi I still think its one of the best modern 2D shooters ever made. Great player ship designs & great enemey ship designs. Its bright fast and has a brilliant soundtrack. The bullets patterns and enemey waves are fast and tough. My impressions of the steam version so far are great, no issues so far. Although there are a few Cave shooters now on steam I would have to say this easily fits into the top 3 2D shooters curently available on steam. If you like 2D shooters this is seriously a no brainer. Buy it!
