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

- 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!

#Gunvein, #shmup, #shootemup
Thanks for the review. I love that I don't have to worry about missing amazing shmups thanks to your channel!
Glad you enjoyed it my friend! Yes this is def a release you don't want to miss!
Right? This channel is public service at its finest!
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!
You're spot on about sound and visual effects, that's what makes even the oldest arcade games satisfying to play. You really can't miss them.
Yeah I think they re more than just a visual effect, they are core to the gameplay as they are what makes challenging gameplay feel rewarding
It's great how beginner friendly this game is. I recommended it to my non-shmup-normie-friends and even they seem to understand now what the danmaku genre is all about.
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!
Perfect amount of hyperbole. And agree...BUY THIS GAME!
Yes bog is def top tier dev. He is also the gamemaker 2 whisperer ha, the gets that engine to do crazy stuff
@@TheElectricUnderground love it. Maybe one day I’ll show off my lack of game design skills in a short game jam, lol.
Just cleared it myself, it's so seamless! All killer no filler, and a ridiculous OST
Absolutely!! Def the type of game I enjoy
A superb game, it just feels great to play. Shout out for the soundtrack, the music in this game is incredible, it really adds a huge amount to the game and is an area which often gets overlooked in reviews.
Oh yeah the ost is great!! I always forget to talk about osts ha
This game is phenomenal! i believe GunVein has the best Shmup tutorial i have ever seen in a videogame, Bravo.
Yeah I think so too, bog went all in with the tutorial
Oh comon haha
Okay, I'm definitely interested with all the ways to play to appeal to people who aren't just looking to play for score. The variety and accommodations for anyone to find their fun is something I remember discussing with you before in the comments if a previous video. Will definitely pick this up!
Yeah bog def has you covered in this area, I really think a lot of people are going to enjoy all the extra modes, especially roguelike mode
The game is amazing. Im glad that this kind of quality shmups get released from time to time. So we are not dependent of cave anymore lol. My impressions are similar to yours. 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 commented on another video yesterday and said I did car sim racing. As a beginner at schmups it’s noticeable how similar they are to sim racing. Both need loads of focus, both need to learn paths, both need patience and precision. Love the channel.
That's really cool to hear! I'm not super familiar with simulation racing, but I can imagine it requires a ton of practice and precision :-)
@@TheElectricUnderground it takes a lot of practice, getting the perfect inputs, learning the foibles of a track, focus tracking twenty or more moving objects travelling at different speeds. Great community in schmups too!
A nice change of pace to hear the excitement and passion in your voice. Great to hear that you enjoy it and the game is good!
Yes it is nice to have a fun game to play and cover ha!!!
thanks for showing Underoath: Voyeurist , dude , you helped me discover a new great album/band =]
Great review.Its awesome when such a high quality, well thought out bullet hell shmup is released.Really like the continuation and stage choice being available.Reminds me of zero ranger accessibility wise.Also like the roguelite alot for exactly the reasons u mentioned here; its a refreshing alternative/ compliment to the arcade.Btw the graphics look really excellent on a big TV.Also for some reason boss 3 is the hardest boss of the whole game inho- those ships firing from behind are hell!.
Glad you enjoyed the review! Yeah stage 3 boss is a mean boy the first time you play ha, it s not too bad once you know exactly what it s gonna do :-)
Yo man, I watch your new videos always cool to check out new games that need more attention. I also liked your HARDEST SNES GAME?! Hagane No-Death 1cc w/ Commentary video and thought ... why not make one similar for iconic games . I have been learning Battletoads on NES "the Hardest game on the nes" and thought of posting on here as a suggestion topic on here. GG once again my dude.
I m really happy to hear that you enjoy the 1cc commentary vids! I plan on doing more, as they are one of my fav formats for the channel. You should check out my latest, sin and punishment! th-cam.com/video/qTclPNrbR80/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for all the content man. This ended up being my very first 1CC. The level of hype was through the roof. :)
That's a great game to start with! I'm glad your connecting with the genre :-)
@@TheElectricUnderground my next one is going to be Dodonpachi DOJ M2 port when it comes out later this year. All your videos convinced me to go for that next :-)
Thank you for this quick review, this game is definitely a must buy.
And at this small price, you have no excuse to get it!
My most anticipated shmup release of the year. Glad to hear that it turned out so well. Easily the best game that NGDev has released to date. Gonna get it on PC now and Switch early next year when it releases there.
Yes it s a whole extra league compared to the rest of their catalog, that s why I really wanted to highlight Boghog s work :-)
@@TheElectricUnderground I'm glad you did. I honestly had no idea. I just assumed that NGDev was developing it themselves, so the jump in quality felt especially impressive to me. Either way, I hope GunVein sells well enough to convince them to continue supporting releases like this.
Man its allways a VERY nice treat....3 years ago i DIDNT knew what a shmup even is. My life was halfempty. Haha
Now you see the light! 🕯️
Looks rad! Hope it gets a physical release.
Me too! I d love to buy a PS4 copy
Great review, just picked this up a few hours ago and am really digging it. The visuals are awesome, and the ship selection is great. Trying to figure which one I want to go for the one cc with.
Thank you so much my friend!!! I recommend doing type A at first, it s really well balanced :-)
Yeah just spent 4 hours straight on this game, not even checked out the Rogue Like mode yet. This is an awesome game, cheers for the heads up for this one Mark! ~FortuneBoy
I m happy to help spread the word!! Yes time flies playing this one :-)
From a development perspective, the "bouncy" element you describe is due to the use of easing / lerp functions on enemy movements.
Yes I think your right, also I believe he has them fly in these little orbits rather than holding totally still
Picked this up on your recommendation and I absolutely love it
I'm a huge cave fan and i have to say..i absolutely love this game.
Awesome review.
!!MAN I F'ING LOVE THIS STATION!!
*ain't NOBODY playing
Shooters
RPGs
Sides rollers{you DO know, MY Shyt!!}
But...Here..."RIGHT HERE"
HELL JEYEAH
Glad to hear it my friend, yes if you want shmups this is the place to be :-)
Looks awesome. You sold me. Razeon and Fast Strikers were damn good too.
Yeah those game a fun, I had a good time with razeon but the shots were on the wrong layer ha XD
@@TheElectricUnderground Right. I probably wouldve noticed that if I went for a 1 CC. I just did a casual playthrough through Maniac. Looking forward to checking this one out. I like that you cant just credit feed to win. Thats always a huge selling point for me.
Awesome game by BogHog! I LOVE the bullet patterns and stage 2 boss has my favorite ones to dodge.
Great comparison with SDOJ with the bullet patterns being similar. However unlike SDOJ, I can actually survive Gunvein lol. SDOJ is just evil to me lol
Yeah sdoj is so brutal, the crazy dense patterns and chunky hitbox makes is real mean combo
Congrats to Boghog!
Yes the man delivered the goods
I'm looking forward to receiving the physical version in a month or so !
I already bought the game on steam and it's amazing.
I especially like that it's very intense in the bullet patterns, but at the same time it's... let's say "affordable", without the need to use slowdowns like Cave did for his extreme hail of bullets.
And with arcade stick it's a thousand times better! 🕹
Great review! That's really interesting that the devs put a roque mode into the game AND I am surprised you kinda like it haha! 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?
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.
Just got this game and really love it.
I'm practicing the mid boss of stage two of intense in stage select mode and after awhile the game just lets me keep going back to this checkpoint over and over. Don't know if it's a glitch but I'll take it.
Great review, I was looking forward to this one!
Finally a good shmup this year! 2022 not great for the genre fans so far.
Yeah 2022 has been pretty dry right, not much has come out this year really
Picked this up a couple days ago to ease myself into STGs, it's awesome!
this game definitely keeps you on your toes, i love it
Yeah it does ha. You barely have enough spare time to scratch your nose :-)
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 believe it is coming to switch soon :-) Ng dev is all about the console versions
No clue why this popped up on my algorithm, but you somehow managed to get me into both shmups and Under oath at the same time. Who’da thunk it 😅🤷♂️…
Man WE CAN COUNT in marc. Allways !tribvtes from germany
Yes couldn't miss this one!
Your stream inspired me to play some more of this, this time on the crt!
Hell yeah dingo!! def go for the intense 1cc
Hello! Mark, you still playing this wonderful game? Can we please get a video with you 1cc - ing it (with all ships 😊)?
i really dont have a shmup brain, but after playing some sin & punishment, maybe that is the next game for me. shmups are hard, idk where im goin with this comment, its almost 4 am. This game looks fun, i bad at game
edit: i think it would be cool in shmups where your character has to leave their ship or vehicles and then its more like guwange, so that way i can see the anime girl in game and shoot em with a human sized gun or somethin
I agree 💯 zuffin, I want more on foot shmups 👣
Ghost Blade HD is pretty much the prelude to Gunvein and well worth playing (also has the same graphic artist and I believe a few other members who then worked on Gunvein).
Not in the gameplay department, that s for sure :-)
@@TheElectricUnderground True, Ghost Blade HD is fun but the extremely simple gameplay and lack of interesting ships held it back from being one of the more interesting shmups out there, but considering it started out as a homebrew Dreamcast game meant as a tribute to arcade shmups of the late 90s the dev did a really nice job.
Great review, Bro. I was a little worried this was just another NG Dev Team Shmup. But it's definitely not. This game looks awesome!!! I don't hate NG Dev Team or anything like that. But sometimes if you criticize even one thing, fanboys will lose they're fucking minds!!! As if you called they're Mom fat and ugly or something. Anyway, great video. Keep up the great work.
Im an old player of shoot em ups 80's using Spectrum, Amstrad and Amiga. been gaming most me life, but only in the past year got back into the shmup genre. im on steam and xbox one. So i'm really looking forward to playing this on the Xbox. Still no sign of it on the xbox game store yet and was wondering if anyone knows when it will be in the game store? I see it in the steam store now which is great. @The Electric Underground, have you ever done a review on Bullet Hell Monday. This was me latest buy and crimson clover ex. Thx for the vids, your the one that has got me back into this genre with all the great vids, so keep them up bud. Fully appreciated.
Hey thank you for the awesome comment!!! Glad the channel has helped! I am gonna cover the ste version of Monday at some point :-) also I think the console versions will be released in a few months
@@TheElectricUnderground Thx for the reply,Ill get Gunvein on steam 1st then. P.s look forward to your reveiw on the Bullet Hell Monday.
@@TheCelt76 dude I also play the Bullet Hell Monday series!!! I love .Decluster zero the best but all of them are super fun.
@@chasepalumbo2929 thx bud will check that out.
Just played the game. It is indeed a good game, but i would not call a obligatory buy. The only thing that stood out for me was the player ships. 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.
so glad it turned out great, waiting for the switch release 👻
Yeah me too! This is one where I ll pick up a physical copy, hopefully Ng dev don't pull any funny business with the physical release
Nice, it looks great! The art reminds me of Rolling Gunner
I can see that! The bullets have a similar vibe
BUST out the "Dualies" right right, Cowboy Reverend!
Oh! ... .. That will be my new highscore initials. YES. .. .. "REV".
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!
Yeah the mild mode is a great intro to bullet hell :-)
Great review! What's the music, the game ost?
Yes I believe it is the leaderboard music from the game :-) i took one of the tracks I liked and looped it.
This looks AWESOME, homie, but, I need to practice with Dodonpatchi, first, isn't it!!!!!! I got that "ESP Ra . Den", working, too, to practice with! Two VERY hardcore oldschool entries more than enough for an old man to figure out at first hahahahahaha. ~ Cheers , ~ "the" Rev
As someone who enjoys schmups but admittedly isn’t the best at them, this game seems very appealing.
Yes absolutely! This game is the perfect fit for newcomers to the genre looking to get into bullet hell :-) Boghog really went out of his way to bring in new players and add lots of systems for you.
I find the name to be rather phallical.
Gotta Drainus my Gunvein.
Oh that is funny!! I never picked up on that ha. Gunvein: full sized edition
*A Shmup "MADE IN GERMANY" (Hannover) !? ...holy Cow ;)*
Tutorials are 10/10 in this game and you'll get your money back before you even start the main game. Great review as always. I struggle with the lock mechanic that force you to release special and hit shot to actually release the missile load. I would expect a simple release of special would discharge? I might be all wrong about this but I found the button dance a bit disruptive to my focus.
I play with a button that toggles shot. So I don't have to hold down shoot at all, just press once and it keeps firing. (Steam controller setup allows for assigning toggle to buttons under controller setup). That way I only focus on pressing and releasing the special button.
Maybe I misheard but I thought I heard you say that "you collect Bog fragments" :D
Oh damn now I wish I did say that!!! Let s both agree that I did ;-)
Nice Review!
Offtopic: I've been playing Psikyo collection on switch, in which you calculated an input lag of 6 frames, which is a lot for 1cc.
I'm thinking about changing to the Ps4 version, but I don't know if it worths the change. Have you tested the input lag?
Thanks
I believe ps4 is around 4 frames. So not a huge difference but maybe enough?
I have! The PS4 version is 4 frames, so def worth the change to it
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. :)
I think it will!
Can’t wait to play this!
This looks incredible!
Absolutely!
I’m probably going to buy it, and it looks fun, but I can’t help feeling that it looks low budget, like discount SDOJ. Looks a little too clean, needs some grit.
Yeah I talk about wanting more animations and stuff with the backgrounds, but the gameplay and overall visual presentation is top notch. I don't think you ll see a bullet hell of this quality come out any time soon :-)
Another instant download.
Perhaps this shall free me from the alluring limbo that is convenient horizontals on the Switch.
Outzone is coming out on Steam soon, will you take a look at that?
Oh hell yeah
I can see Players actually going to point blank more on this game
Quicker to kill, less to deal the Walls
*Now.. to get dem juicy scores*
Is there already a release date on ´ switch (yeah I’m a Mac user… don’t have a PC … so I shmup on switch 🙈) ?
I don't think so, but I am guessing in a few months?
Would you recommend this game if I just wanna see more of the cutie in the glasses?
Mark how would you rank Gunvein compared to Crimson Clover or DDP Ressurrection?
I prefer the classic air gallet Twin cobra Truxton style of shmups. not a big fan of chaos in the shmups.
Where is your review of Cygni?
Like dreamer is my goty thus far, but let's see how this stacks up Omg... its HERE
Oh yeah I gotta catch up with that release! Crazy stacked release sched right now
@@TheElectricUnderground It's so fuckin good.. it has espgaluda and ketsui references and stuff that make me wanna scream
picked gunvein up btw >:))
You also forgot to mention the reason, two big reasons actually, to buy this game
Oh yes very true my friend! Support the wifu lol
Crimson clover is getting a physical from 1st press games I’m waiting on. I hope gunvein at least gets a limited physical
This is goty - a masterpiece.
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.
Ok, ill have to admit it, i only watched half of your review. Next thing i did was downloading the demo. 45 minutes later i bought the game. What a pleasent surprise this is! I think the art design is kinda bland, but the gameplay is amazing. Feels like Dodonpachi x Crimzon Clover.
Glad you picked up the game, but it s your moral duty to return and watch the other half of the review ;-)
@@TheElectricUnderground Ha, yeah i already did. Even watched it a second time to better understand the games mechanics.
Looks a phenomenal shooter & a def future must-buy on console 👍
Absolutely!! I m looking forward to the console release!
Still waiting for this to release on switch if it ever happens
The best birthday present i recive this year.
Happy birthday 🎉🎉🎁
W👾W
When it iz released for Home consoles i will extra rejoice. Thankz Mang
Great shmup indeed, almost Cave quality. Too bad it doesn't have 2p mode.
I'll buy it if the dev fix the diagonal movements being faster than hori/vert movement
Sup Kae!!
@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 hi sora
@@kaerithmallock you gonna do a 1cc if they fix some few problems?
Pretty sure the diagonal movement is normalized my friend
@@soratheorangejuicemascot5809 sure, the game is interesting
I saw that this just released in the Switch on the 11th with PS4 and Xbox ports expected later this year. My favorite platform for shmuos when possible has been the Xbox, but is there any advantage to waiting for the PS4 or Xbox or should I just go with the Switch version so I can play it sooner?
Is this ever going to come
Out on ps4 or is it cancelled!? Fed up with waiting.
Honestly i played everything playable in demo, and I wanted to like this game, but i did not. It has everything, but at the same time nothing to catch me. I spent few hours in demo, considered it good, and by the end of the day forgot it even existed until this review
Well the issue with demos is that they just show the early stages of the game, which are typically the most mild right. So I'd still say give the full release a try, especially with the rogue mode you can jack up the spawn rate and it gets crazy
I feel dumb, but I can't figure out what the golden bomb fragments do. Like what is the difference between them and the normal ones?
They give you about 1 second of invincibility, so you can grab one and go through bullets to get in a better position
The biggest question is now, is it good on the Switch?
I would hope they do a good port! Gamemaker 2 to switch should be solid
On Switch now?
Not yet, but I think it will be soon
YOUR REVIEW MEANS NOTHING! I already bought it.
Oh snap ha!!
I gotta try this game!
Game Looks Amazing!!!
it is :-)
Loli smiles back in this game....
Ha I think the loli levels are fairly mild in this one, maybe green ship?
A lot of these games are coming to Playstation 4🎮🕹😀👍🏾
I m excited for the PS4 release!
someone please tell me what game is this: 11:19
its astra or wtf
Yes mechanical star astra is the name :-)
@@TheElectricUnderground THANKS
Looks like a cave game (ar leAst the bullet patterns) at his Core, with ships with diferent styles at Gameplay. I can see bullet hells with roguelite elements being interesting if they limit to diferent stages or enemyes formations. 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. I Will try the demo, but i like more a oldschool shootemup than bullet hell
hey everyone, does anyone here have any experience with shmup arch on steam deck, or just experience with the steam deck in general, am considering getting one to use as my indy game machine since triple a seems to be dropping the ball lately
to me, 1cc is the ONLY way to play--dont get me wrong though there is ALOt of repitition, trial and error, but it's satisfying
Absolutely!! It s very rewarding and satisfying
@@TheElectricUnderground There is a Deathsmiles game on Steam that is alone as in without the sequel and it was ported by CAVE Interactive Co.
Could you test the input lag on that version, please?
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
I didn't mean to say that all shmups should have capped resources, was just pointing out the merits of a capped system when combined with this games extend system :-)
People who play this kind of game are use to taking showers without getting wet.
