Unless you want to spend so much time getting good that you can beat the entire game in one try you will end up wasting your money. The YouTube videos and searches I did you see if there were checkpoints were misleading. You can get checkpoints at the first few levels but once you get bast those you have about 4 hours of play you have to beat without dying.

Everyone saying that if you've never played a shump this is a great entry into them. I honestly cant see why considering to actually beat the game you have to burn hours to learn all the patterns. Level 1 souls runs with a club or Bloodborn no upgrade level one is actually easier than this. It is not a good entry level game. It is unique with story but unless you have time to sink into it you will never beat it. If the reviews I read didn't make me think it was more story driven than it is and that there were consistent checkpoints I would have not bought the game. It's wasted money. So i'll listen to what people say about their other game and steer clear.

It's a shame that I spend just .3 hours too long on this game before realizing I don't have time to waste on it to get good enough to beat it. It doesn't have enough depth to do that for me either. I can't even refund it now. Just Delete it.

No shmup is a good entry they're all impossible. I keep trying them on the easiest difficulty and getting raped and gaped

this is totally wrong though, you can start from any stage in the second loop as well. you can choose any ship and config too.

everything you said is so wrong i dont even think you played the same game. are you talking about the choice you have to make for the TLB? honestly incredibly confused with your post

yes because shmups require you to do the whole memorizing patterns bit thats how the games are designed. often times the games will force you to do a deathless run (no continues) to fight the TLB, etc. that's literally how shmups are. zeroranger makes that entire part far easier and lets you collect 'XP' as you play to give you more lives, so you have like 8 deaths before a continue or something, idr the details.

Didn't you spam this retarded post before?

Just finish the game nigga. Save up your retries, load into the final stage/boss, beat it without game overing and beat the game.
