Oh yeah I get the feeling and I'm far from done with the game.It's one of those games which I would love to purge from my memories ... just to experience it all afresh. You new players, do cherish every moment.
Nice to see this thread again. I love the game and recently came back after a pause. I need some advice on the last part:
The game is rather clear that you only have one shot at the end, and that you only have your remaining lives (or else you gotta grind up on them again, I suppose). I know this game is meant to be full of surprises - and jesus has it blown me away - but this part worries me as I really don't want to endlessly grind. I found the final boss before rather difficult, and had 4 continues left, but chose not to continue. It's weird I feel this way, which means I might be completely fooled by the narrative, but... is the actual finale super difficult compared to previous bosses?
Since this was your first time through, you probably feel like you barely beat the final boss and don't want to do it again. But even with just a few more attempts you'll start to really get the hang of the fight and it'll become much easier.
Oh hell yes. There's a new mode in ZeroRanger, plus you can finally buy the soundtrack. Never give up hope.I wonder if the devs are still planning on releasing difficulty mode DLC, as well as a full version of the game soundtrack.
Well, I went back to the game and finally finished 2-4! Got offered an opportunity for a bet, took it and lost.An update? Oh cool, a reason to get back to it and actually beat the final final boss 😅
Shmup forums did their annual top 25. Lots more info and breakdowns over there.
That Ketsui climb has been unstoppable. Happy to see ZeroRanger crack the list.
But if anyone is looking for shmups experimenting with integrating story bits then my absolute top pick would be to give ZeroRanger a look.
