eXceed - Gun Bullet Children reviews

「 Children of universe 」 Exclusively Japanese genre of Danmaku-games (analogue of Western Shoot'em Up) is very seldom shown outside the country of the Rising Sun (and is held exclusively on a narrow circle of players). And If you do not take into account the popular series Touhou Project (which did not have a publisher outside of Japan, although its popularity is not otbavljaet), and several other not less good representatives of the genre (for example Ikagura, which got to Europe), then Modern presentation of the general picture of Danmaku-games outside Japan itself becomes extremely sad and scarce. Judge for yourself, good games and so little, so much more of them either trying to repeat the success of Touhou Project, or looks so poor that there is nothing to say. In this way, the series "eXceed" from "Flat Software" is not much different from other projects, but definitely deserves a little more attention. The Original Gun Bullet Children, which served as the beginning of the series, appeared in the distant 2005 and was not in a hurry to get out of the homeland. Even later, when (now the series) got two sequels, it still seemed to the western world in all glory... After that and was buried under the shaft of criticism. But everything in order. Gun, Bullet, Children... Gun Bullet Children, in contrast to its sequels, was released by the original composition of the team FLAT and became their first and, as it turned out, not the most successful project, as it was desirable. The Sequel painted a bit of resentment, but the residue was left. But the publishing house abroad was engaged in Nyu Media, which at that time is not the first year diligently chooses from Japanese counters of indie games all in a row, that however it may be, can appeal to western fans of exotics. And in 2012, the entire eXceed series was released in America and, accordingly, appeared on Steam and Desura. GBC a typical danmaku. However, less qualitative, even than most clones Touhou Project and other close in spirit projects. The same classic gameplay and familiar to the genre hail of bullets could not smooth all its shortcomings in the form of scarce visual design and monotonous levels. It Seems that the game had very big ambitions, but at the exit we got a raw product that scares off its appearance. All the same hail of bullets, directed to the player and beating on the ears of the soundtrack-all this is already we have seen many times, a lot of it and nothing to catch. And maybe not all would have been so bad, if not bad management, strange work hitbox (sometimes completely ignoring the hit in the character) and terrible game design (the Powell are not similar to enemy bullets-like you?)-and all this is not counting the possible "departures" from Games right during missions. We are the Legion... However, as the beginning of a good series, eXceed-Gun Bullet Children clearly deserves at least a mention. It Saddens, however, the fact that the previously released Ikagura surpasses not that the original, and the whole series as a whole. Originally posted by Grandifical: * And Yes, the game was not translated into English (!! Haltur!!) that, with the presence of English localization in the next two parts, raises some questions to Nyu Media. But all three parts are published simultaneously. Therefore, you will have subtitles either in Japanese, or you expect a huge pile of krakozybr that sadder. Rating: 35%
