The chief creator of this game is currently the producer of Taito's masterpiece IP reprint project, and appears on Arcade Archives' KZitem channel about once a month. It was information from Japan.

A friend of mine was selling this along with a couple other Saturn imports a few years ago. Knew nothing about this game at the time, but decided to buy it from him anyways. So glad I did, as this is one of my favorite games on the system. It's also fantastic hearing Sakimoto's music in the background.

Great review. I have this on my ps1. Also, I liked the sponsor you mentioned at the beginning. It'd be great to see more gaming videos on KZitem have sponsors like locally owned game stores instead of corporate places.

Just grabbed this game in the last couple weeks! It’s pretty awesome, definitely challenging, and I can see myself going back to it, as you said, to try and master it. It’s a definite balancing act between regular fire and use of the field, knowing when to use either.

Ser, what do you do for a living? The quality of your reviews always blows me away--better than a lot of IGN/mainstream sort of reviews. Yet because shmups are a niche genre it seems like you make these mostly out of pure passion. Which is super impressive.

SUCH a good series! For a long time I'd been wishing for a really top notch, well produced SHMUP review show and I didn't even know you guys existed! Bullet heaven is a god send! Minus the many ours of sleep I've lost since I found you, digging through the back catalog. :-P You guys should review some Neo Geo shmups! Viewpoint, Last Resort, and the fantastic Pulstar would be great candidates. Not to mention Twinkle Star Sprites (If you can get a copy). The carts are expensive, but the NEOCD copies should be affordable enough! ANYWAY Keep up the good work!

Unfortunately a most of the pce games don't have it as it never really became mainstream untill ps1/2 era of shooters. The best ones I could recommend is batsugun or battle garegga for the sat. But you may be shocked once you ebay them. Sonic wings on the sat/ps has a good tate option. Aswell as gunbird2 on the dreamcast. All of the 360 shooters has it. Apart from the horizontal ones of course ;-) Have you dabbled into the 360 shooters yet?

Ive been wanting this game for a long time, but work ,family bills etc means I have to pace my gaming habit. Ive also been eyeing Einhander. So my next shmup purchase will be either of the 2. How would anyone here that may know compare the 2 games?
@StudioMudprints
10 жыл бұрын
Well, I'd actually give the edge to Einhander. More stages with secret alternate routes, more unlockables, a ridiculously flexible weapon system, a fantastic presentation and a tame scoring system. It's also less expensive on average.

***** I appreciate the info. What about the 'deeper' mechanics of soukyugurentai? On a side note I bought einhander day 1 back in the day. It was my first shooter I ever owned. Get this, I took it back the very next day. Back then I just wasn't into these type of games. Now this is one of my most anticipated games.

@@StudioMudprints No the disc is damaged.. Sorry I should have been more clear..Sale said "very good" condition.. But it must have been a rental in Japan.. it has thousands of scratches on the label side too.. assholes. I do have a Japanese machine I imported one day one before the Australian one ;) I thought might be my saturn but I tested a few games since then and all work fine. I have to send it back.. with mame I can't get the rapid fire option on one button and regular on other.. so.. tired fingers.. am using an sn30 pro and it's pretty decent for shmups I have found.. terrible for fighting games though so don't know whoever said it was such a great d pad! :) PS I have been through this thing when games are listed "as new" or "VGC" in at least a third of the s/h games I buy.. I have even received games with stuck on food crumbs on the disc and what looks like boogie (hard snot).. It's horrible.. I always have to clean them.. but this is the first time one hasn't worked at all. It's too much money to let go and he's going to get a big fat negative too but I'll wait to get a refund first!

Great review sir flash. I got this game years ago because of the praise it gets, and I don't see the appeal at all. Its hard to grasp the hitbox, and the visual style (pre-rendered or whatnot) is very boring. Also to make up for this, the levels aren't anything to write home about in terms of theme and presentation. I also hate the "power up and make the game more difficult" gameplay device; the person who thought of this idea is/was an idiot. All in all, I thought It was an alright shooter. It just failed to grab me like other ones on the system.
@StudioMudprints
10 жыл бұрын
I never felt like the hitbox was a huge issue. Some of the zoomed perspectives were a pain though. The theme really only works if you know what's going on, and we dug it; It's cold and heartless in a good way.

In regards to the negative effect on rank from collecting power-ups, that's pretty much every game by Raizing. Big difference with Soukyuugurentai though is that power-ups are completely unnecessary. The NALS mechanic does way more damage and is the only way to score well. Not to mention that collecting power-ups decreases the appearance of the power-up carriers, resulting in fewer bombs.
