Gameplay

44 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
DO expect very interesting stage design, the smoothest controls, a robust arcade mode, very interesting special weapon mechanics, amazing OST and fantastic visuals
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
38 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
The main draw is 'Story Mode', where you can approach the 10+ stages one by one, locking in your results without ever having to do a full run.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
32 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
Each stage is challenging, and you will need to use your Shmup hobby skills of analysis to the fullest, even to clear 100% of the missions on 'Easy' difficulty.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
24 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics look great on a big or small screen, and as others have noted the framerate is rock solid throughout.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
23 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
Your efforts are rewarded with a host of unlockable, chunky weapons (offensive and defensive) which physically change the look of your player ship as you equip them- another nice touch.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
21 of 128 sampled reviews raised it
The 'world building' (sekaikan) of the games is cohesive, and the storylines are engaging with tonnes of original Japanese voice acting, tranlated with subtitles.
