- Eschatos came out on Steam recently and it's a really good game. I've always regretted not playing it much when it came out on the Xbox 360 way back in 2011 so you could say that this was an old score that I had to settle.
On the surface Eschatos might look a bit bland and standard but the true beauty and what makes the game so good lies in the scoring system. Since it requires you to balance and make full use of all your available weapons and resources in both a defensive and offensive way.
The scoring principle is quite simple: if you kill all the enemies in a wave you get an extra multiplier and the amount of enemies that get away makes the multiplier drop accordingly.
Speedkilling gives more score as well so it's a very aggressive game.
Besides chaining and speedkilling there are also DDP-like bees hidden in stages in the form of Wonder-Witches. Their Y-coordinate is always the same but their X-coordinate is either at the opposite side of yours or is completely random. They actually try to get away from you when you try to collect them so be careful of that.
Wonder-Witch value doubles for each one you collect and they are also multiplied by your current multiplier so the score you can get from them becomes pretty huge.
You have a shield that can cancel bullets but how hard it is to cancel these bullets or how much energy it will cost to cancel depends entirely on the bullet type. Some bullets can be cancelled almost immediately while others take considerable effort while they also push you around.
You can also use the shield offensively since it does contact damage. The damage output is actually the highest in the game but it's obviously very short-ranged.
Besides that you can also change the speed of your ship. 3-speed is very fast, 2-speed is pretty medium and 1-speed is very slow.
The F-bomb carriers always spawn after a set amount of time so you want to manipulate those so that they spawn at opportune times. They give you a screen clear and also do some damage so for waves with really weak enemies you can get the full time bonus if you time the bombs well.
This is currently the world record.

The three essential parts of shoot-em-ups:
1. Brutal difficulty
2. Weird/no story
3. BANGER SOUNDTRACK
Touhou does this as well obviously
Can confirm, I've yet to play a shmup that hasn't destroyed me, confused me and caused several eargasms simultaneously.
@@Mr._Sherwood If ya want to try something that wont completely destroy you then you can always try Vertical Force. Only thing that it will destroy is your eyes. You'll see why.
And my wallet, last I checked Virtual Boy games are somewhat expensive given their rarity
@@Mr._Sherwood Vertical Force isnt too expensive though. One of the cheaper ones probably. I got my copy for about 30 bucks
Though it’s a modern game, the soundtrack and sound effects make it seem like it came from an arcade game of the early to mid 90’s.
I'd say from the early 2000's but yeah I get what you are saying.
@@jju00 Yeah, I totally thought this and Mamorukun Curse were PSP games until I saw the dates.
The sound somewhat reminded me of Sega Genesis soundchip
@@meheecan123 more feels like a Yamaha YM2151 soundchip that was commonly used from the mid 80s to late 90s
....4 years it was an modern game.... Damn im old.
Omg! The enemies at 14:39 are arranged to look like ones in space invaders! I love this game!
Space invaders reference
The inspirations while making this game is one of the nice aspects of it.
I firmly believe this is one of the greatest OSTs ever. Nothing but pure shmup ecstasy.
World record already?!? FFS, Jaimers, stop destroying every shmup on the planet, they weren't meant for this level of abuse.
:^)
Awesome run as always! I loved that final boss BGM.
That's a cute little feature. I beat this game yesterday on Easy, noticed the number of red ships flying in the ending is the number of lives you have left. Awesome gameplay, I have a long way to go if I want to get this good!
I love the 3D effect, but it looks like a pain to avoid stuff in 2D. So disorienting.
Yeah, it can definitely make the perspective pretty damn confusing. Especially when you use the shield weapon to attack an enemy in the background. @_@
.... I've listened to the soundtrack so much it's pretty much my lullabye now... always get sleepy listening to this whole thing.
Only here for the kickass soundtrack.
This music is so amazing.
これぞシューティング最高峰！！！見てて気持ち良い！！
This is the highest peak of shooting! !! !! It feels good to see! !!
7:19
ペーローネスっ
25:20 i like the fact the enemy is beating in sync to the song
Even the song lagged too 🤭
Underrated game I love these kind of games !!!
That was a blast to watch!
So cool, finally seeing the way to actually play this game
You've got maad talent, I can't beat this game yet and I've been playing it for five hours
the visual of this game is amazing =D
Soundtrack is incredible
This is the game that got me into touhou
15:36 Imagine your eyes being ambushed by flying triangles
2021 and i still want to play this fcking game
The nostalgia
The camera work on this game is probably even better than R-Type Final.
スピードアップは最速以外使用しないと思ってたけどボスに速度を合わせたり弾幕かいくぐるのに速度落とす使い方をするなんてハイスコアラーの行動は常識を逸してて凄い！
i now want to buy this game
say hello to my steam wishlist
Awesome. Have you given Hardest a shot?
Anyone else notice the fact that the ship in area 06 is basically Tokyo drifting through the air in a way that is completely goofy?
How are you executing that safespot in the bottom-right in Area 15 when the enemies come in a spiraling pattern around you (at about 10:09 in this video)? Every time I try to do it one of the enemies runs into me from behind.
+Shepardus Just shield and press against the corner.
Ah, it worked without a problem in Hard but didn't work when I tried it in Easy. I guess they have slightly different movement patterns between difficulties.
Is it wrong that when I look at the games logo on the title screen I immediately think of Xevious?
Dynamite Namco You're not the only one.
I think that is actually the Xevious font! I've been playing Eschatos over the past few days (currently playing on Original Easy and I'm having a rough time remembering to shield lul) and _m a n_ it feels like such a good love letter to some of the old school stuff, Galaga and Xevious especially
great
From Etikaxs Livestream looking at the game
ピンポイントバリアを攻撃に転用するスゴワザ！
@10:39 makes it look easy
FuuUUUUCK I LOVE THIS GAAAAAAAAME
Anyone have an idea on the scoring mechanics ?
in the description ;)
Reminds me of Phoenix
Genuinely bonerizing.
Ah, so that song is from area 12.
Didn't know this game was that new tho, the art direction feels like it's from 1996. I'll have to see where I can get this. ☺️
I know at the very least it's on Switch.
@@KirbyLinkACW I have it safely nestled in my Steam library
I'm getting strong Raystorm vibes from it, which isn't a bad thing.
Does the perspective fuckery ever get troublesome?
+SalThePiplup Once you know what you're doing it never gets troublesome.
Jaimers91 I haven't seen any other bullet hell that handles the background/perspective tricks this way. Makes me think of a Star Fox game. I love it
こんなパイロットばかり地球いにいたら、宇宙人も侵略する気がなくなるだろうねえ
どうやって弾を避けてるのか、理解不能…すごい
Hard mode so easy for you :D KING shooter
19:47 👀
I'm glad people still know this 𝗙𝗔𝗡𝗧𝗔𝗦𝗧𝗜𝗖 game. I started playing it only few days ago and I've already thoroughly immersed myself in the world of bullet hell's & SHMUP's❤️
Fantasy Heaven/Fantasy Seal? Ha :P
本気で地球侵略しに来たノットレイダー ＳＴＧ版スターㇳゥインクルプリキュア。
This needs a switch port
なんでよけられるんだよっっw
Is this a Comiket thing?
#WTFISGOINGON?!
Have you ever seen what outdoors looks like?
Why the hell did they give it's second form a face?! It's the most ridiculous looking thing I've ever seen!
Probably for shock value.
This crazy nonsense and nearly without getting hit.
Disorienting
I'll take my classic mega drive shmups over these puffy glitzy new things any day :)
Jamimer, you need a better PC, you saw lagging.
