I've noticed like 90% of the positive reviews say the same thing: Get this even if you don't like shmups.

I disagree. It's brutally unfairly punishing right from the beginning. There are traps that pop out and instantly kill you, and move faster than you so you can't react to them, you just have to memorize them. Even if I memorized the traps there are constantly situations where there's 90-95% of the screen completely covered in projectiles, and I'm still talking about the FIRST LEVEL. It's a thoroughly stressful experience, and I never felt anything approaching "fun" at any point while I was playing. If you're not already good at shmups give this one a pass.

Just once I wish a shoot'em up bullet hell game would be designed so that you don't need to play it a hundred times just to be able to tell what the heck is happening on screen.

For anyone who has heard that this game is a "hidden gem", or a secret "masterpiece", or "accessible", take that with a very very heavy grain of salt. This is not a game meant to be challenging yet fun, like Dark Souls or Sekiro or Furi. This is more along the lines of Getting Over It, it is meant to torment you and make you miserable until you've payed your dues of dozens of hours of repeating the same levels over and over to be graced with an ending. Of course the ending itself will not fulfill you, but it will give you an excuse to uninstall this nightmare and move on with your life.

Why haven't you bought the best shmup ever made yet?

Why haven't you bought Zeroranger yet?
