Over the years we've grown accustomed to hanging out near the bottom or the far left of the screen. Why? To dodge the 100s of 1000s of 10000000s of bullets that accost us. Naturally, numerous scoring systems all but demand that we get closer to the top (or the right side) of the screen. Still, for the most part it's easier to just stay as far away as danger as possible, and give those bullet-spreads room to...well...spread. XIIZEAL is an oddity in many ways. First off, the level of difficulty fluctuates greatly. Normally we go through X number of stages, each one offering a steady increase in challenge over the last. Here? The first two stages are a cakewalk, the third is a sudden jump, and then the other stages are like hills and valleys (as opposed to one tall mountain). To balance this out, there are only three lives (no extends or hidden 1ups). To balance out the lack of lives, the
I don't even know where to start. I'm extremely happy that this game has come to steam. This is a really really really good shmup by Triangle Service a company that makes these games as a labor of love more than anything. To me this is by far the best shmup on steam, it's full of cool secrets that you'll take forever to discover and have fun doing so. The game isn't particularly punishing which is encouraging for newer players as well. The scoring mechanics on a chain multiplier are fun and easy to adapt to. The soundtrack though, dear lord NAOTO is a god for composing something like this on hardware as bad as he did back when this was in arcades. It's absolutely incredibly and fits the atmosphere of each level perfectly. I've played tons and tons of hours of this in its Xbox 360 iteration and I'd be happy to do so again on steam.
Classic shmup featuring 4 attacks: shot, side, exhaust and bomb. The graphics and music are good, but where the game stands out is the gameplay. Your mission will take you through 8 levels full of various enemy craft and tough bosses. This Steam version features autofire buttons for shot and side attack, which makes the game somewhat easier - though you can play using normal fire buttons if you desire so. There are also some modern goodies implemented, like leaderboards and TATE mode. Recommended!
Note: the review that spurred this (very short) review has since been taken down, presumably out of shame. I don't write reviews anymore (I once did that for a living) but I'm leaving this one to balance out the absolutely atrocious one that's dragging this fine game into the gutter on its launch day. So... If you like solid, pixel art-based, non-bullet hell, classic-style* shooters w/ an interesting 'wiggle' mechanic, grab this. (The only real downside is one that plagues a great many modern-day shooters: if you're using autofire, it doesn't filter out the scores into two separate tables, so those that use the crutch will, in all likelihood, vastly outscore all but the absolute cream of the crop who put in the time and effort to "git gud".) If, however, you want a 3D, over-the-top, procedurally-generated, rogue-like like, 4K-a-thon, riddled with enough bullet curtains to take down
XIIZEAL is the first game of the 'Shooting Love series' of Triangle Service, also known as XIISTAG - the original arcade game. Here are the Pros and Cons about the game: The Pros: + The graphic is very good, the actions on screen are very-well animated. You can play either pixel perfect or with filtering mode to smooth out the graphic. Very classic. Very intense, even lots of bullets on screen, the game still runs smoothly at 60FPS. + Simple control scheme. Play with controller or keyboard is up to you. You can config the function of each button to suit what you need. + The music is good, especially the title music is really funky. Not top-notch but still good. + The gameplay is very simple, you shoot and dogde. But the enemies will come at you in every directions so your fighter will be armed with: ~ Normal frontal vulkan shot. ~ The exhaust is also a weapon to attack to enemie
cant make the game work in 60 fps mode, beware if you have a 144Hz or similar display everything is on speed.
