Gunvein Shoot Em' Up Review! CAVE Bullet Hell Fans Rejoice!

Ойындар

Gunvein Shoot Em' Up Review! CAVE Bullet Hell Fans Rejoice! I have been looking forward to this shmup all year and it has arrived! Gunvein is a danmaku bullet hell shoot em' up (shmup) made by Boghog in association with NG Dev! If you are a fan of CAVE or Crimzon Clover World Explosion, this game is going to be what you are looking for. What I find particularly appealing is the aggressive level design and bullet patterns, the nice selection of difficulty modes, lots of practice and training options, and even some really unique modes like rogue-like mode which allows the player to customize the powerups they pick up and even ramp up the enemy spawn rates in radomized levels! Beyond this review, I also plan on going for my own 1cc of expert mode and doing a commentary on it :-) So if you are a fan of CAVE, Dodonpachi, Ketsui, Battle Garegga, Raizing, Touhou, Blue Revolver, and Zeroranger, or a fan of the shmup genre at all, I think this game is an essential purchase. Right now it is on PC/Steam, but I believe it is also coming to consoles in the future like Nintendo Switch, PS4/PS5, and Xbox!

    I started playing Shoot 'Em Ups (I'm old, "SHMUPS" will not enter my vocabulary without a fight lol) with 1942 in the late 80s. I recently have dived back into the genre and am so happy that I came across your channel! With AAA titles being so garbage and incomplete lately, I hope that the shooters make a comeback to more of the community. You're helping to catch me up on a lot of games that I've missed. You've been a great catalyst for my interest! So, thanks for your vids! Gunvein was like a celebratory welcome back to the genre for me. It is unbelievably smooth and has the proper amount of aggression to keep me engaged. Playing with my fight stick (RAP4) hits all the right spots when combined with the fluidity of this game. It's so f*cking smooth and feels fantastic. I've recently picked up DoDonPachi: Ressurection, having been a fan of the previous DDP's, and I now finally feel like I always have something to play and immensely enjoy in my downtime between these two games. So, in short, thanks for your awesome content and passion that you put into your video! I just ran into your channel searching for info on more modern shooters. It has gotten me back into... (fucking hell...) SHMUPS and has me excited while digging through the crates, so to speak!

    Cinema had Ingmar Bergman, literature had Dostoyevsky, videogames had Shiggy Miyamoto and for a time it was good, but then time passed and this begged the question who do we have now? For videogames we can now proudly answer Boghog and NG Dev! - P.S. It was a struggle coming up with the appropriate level of hyperbole on this one but I think I managed to pull it off quite nicely in the end. P.P.S no seriously, buy this game!

Gameplay is really solid, really fun. I reaaally enjoyed the roguelike mode. A concept that in papers sound like an euroshmup thing is well implemented here. And about graphics and sound, I think too both are great but they feel kinda generic or not memorable. But in general is a must for shmups fans.

I like to have the choice and the different options surely open up to make the game accessible to a bigger audience! You said the Roque elements here are not so random or they follow the shmup formula, can you explain this a bit?

  • @TheElectricUnderground

    @TheElectricUnderground

    Жыл бұрын

    Absolutely my friend! So the roguelike mode is not purely random, there is a random variation of how the spawns and enemies come, but still within a parameter that doesn't make the gameplay completely absurd or uneven, which can happen a lot with roguelikes. Also unlike something like enter the gungeon, the leveling elements don't cut against the main design ideas of the genre, which is shooting and dodging. I explain this more in the previous vid Japan vs Euro design, but GV's roguelike mode doesn't fall into the pits I mentioned in that vid.

Feels like the devs wanted to do a cave game sticking to that formula without taking risks because at the same time i did not see any flaw in the game. My main issue is that is a "cave" spinoff without the quality of a cave game and i Will hardly Replay it because of that. Perhaps i AM being too Harsh as reaching cave quality is a monumental task, but when i look to indie bullet hells obligatory i think in crimson Clover and blue revólver.

    I only have a Switch to play shmups on, so I hope this does make its way over to that particular console. Right now I'm working toward a 1CC of Crimzon Clover on Original Arcade Mode, so maybe it's good that I have more time to get this clear before moving on to another game!

    I was going to pass on this one because the gameplay looked too advanced for me (I'm still working on my Crimzon Clover Novice 1cc), but hearing about how balanced made the Mild mode was a surprise! Guess I'm going to grab this as soon as it comes to consoles!

    Gunvein at first really remind me of Soukyugurentai, Battle Garegga and obviously Crimzon Clover. i can clearly see the lock on scan pattern similiarly like sokyugurentai and also the type A ship on gunvein reminds me of swordfish fish in sokyugurenti (even having the same lock on scan pattern) im surprised that you said the pattern and level design in Gunvein similiarly like SDOJ. i feels SDOJ is much harash in term of that aspect lol. because i feels the pattern in Gunvein is looks like having a big bullets that fill the screen while SDOJ not only they're both harrashly fill their bullet on screen but in SDOJ the enemy bullet is looks similiar like DoJ/DFK size. small than Gunvein to me but also having narrow pattern that seems impossible to dodge (at least for me lol) What i love about gunvein is the ship design successfuly bring me back to PSX era of shmup where the ship color looks vibrant with bulky armored covered the ship and not necessarily too much ornament on them. it feels like im playing Zanac X Zanac from ps1. how nostalgic. and also don't forget to appriciate the tutorial section is really helpful for newcomer when Miko(Type B pilot) is introducing the pattern type(like stasis, aim, random) and also she teach us how to dodge on certain situation like explaining micro and macro dodging. i really love that and definietly recommend this game for newcomer who one to play bullet hell but don't like touhou because its overrated lol (jk). the thing that i don't like in gunvein is. i feels gunvein bomb is not entirely unvulnerable.i remember i got hit while bombng and aggresizely going on the top of the screen and then a single ship hit me casually. and also one more part to me is the music. The music from demo game is entirely cool and engaging. i love the menu screen theme and tutorial theme feels like floating in space mentally. selecting ship you feels want to rap dancing. stage1 and boss theme is even more aggresively dancing. but stage 2-final stage theme feels nothing to me. not saying the music quality is bad. i just not feels anything in stage 2-final stage music. but regardless im stil recommend this game to anyone and also consider the best STG game release on 2022.

    I mean I was gonna pick it up anyway, but this rogue mode REALLY piqued my interest! Parsec47 is still my favorite shmup, but most euroish shmups I find very underwhelming. Operation STEEL is the one I've played the most from this year, but it is a bit bland bullet pattern/level design wise, and underwhelming production-wise, but still has had me surprisingly hooked. Let's see if Gunvein can top it. :)

But not with changes in the attributes of our ship or enemyes (too much random mess). Bullet hells are reaching a point that is almost Impossible to do something inovative when ir comes with bullets patterns, só the tendêncy for inovation Will bé in other section.

    4:51 i disagree because you still have to learn to perfect the first couple stages to beat the later ones effortlessly. it rewards resource management cave tlbs are also like this. you try to reach them with as many lives as possible and then pay taxes ddp lets you have up to 6 bombs so it's not so much an issue with stockpiling as it is with the stupidly forgiving bomb system. cave realised this and made it so that in doj you can have up to 6 as shotia but only with stronger shots, 4 as leinyan but only with stronger laser, and 2 as exy with stronger laser and shots with capped resources deaths aren't as meaningful because you can just get an extend right after and be back to max a shmup should cap resources if it's designed with that in mind but it's not necessary for all shmups imo

    Just played this game. And even though on paper this seemed like it would be right up my alley, being filled with what I enjoy in these games, this one was just boring. Most of the time while I was playing this game I just felt :| y'know? I don't even know how to explain it, ig the devs focused too much on how to make an objectively good game and that ironically made it a boring one. Still, I guess the game is good (at least in theory it has a lot of good stuff going on) but for me it was a bunch of nothing after nothing. But hey, I liked the stage4 and boss theme so at least there's that.
