good game, but where is konami code? :)

First of all, go into the options menu and turn off screen shake.

As far as graphics go this is probably one of the prettiest shumps out there. Some of these bosses look amazing and I wish the game had a model viewer.
However the game does not give you a chance to appreciate the background dressing since it constantly tosses enemies at you. You have to give the player a bit of time to appreciate things. (Example is R-type Final)

Actually some of the stages feel too long since it is often the same enemy type over and over again. The developers need to mix it up. The music on the first stage is ok but then it quickly becomes generic war jank.

The gameplay is odd. Pickups go towards health but you need to route power to weapons to use missiles. In games it is often better to clear the screen of enemies rather than try to tank. I was constantly routing power to weapons while spamming missiles. I wish the game would just put power into missiles when your health is full.

The gameplay doesn’t feel good until you have a few upgrades. Actually why have upgrades at all? I wish we just started with everything.

A better Shump and my favorite game this year is Devil Blade Reboot. I would recommend that first before coming here. Also it is cheaper.

Overall this game is OK. Not bad but also lacking when compared to others in the genre.
