Ended up playing this a lot more than I thought I would.
New strats just kept getting found to push the score further, both from me and other players.
Shoutouts to @TheSphits, @srosro and @yuimei2 among others.
Insanely fun scoring system that just makes you want to keep pushing it further.
Hard is the mode with the highest score potential and is definitely the mode to play in my opinion.
The pattern difficulty is exactly the same as Inferno, but the Boost mechanic adds a lot of depth to the scoring system that Inferno desperately lacks.
Boosts are basically the hypers of this game and during a Boost the Berserk% gain is multiplied by 5.
So the challenge is to squeeze as many high value enemies in during the Boost as possible before it runs out. Tick points during the Boost are also pretty crazy, which is something to keep in mind.
One misconception that I think a lot of us made was thinking there's a speedkill element to everything. Apart from stage 4 this is actually not true, it's just pointblank.
Some other new strats that got figured out:
Boost Carryover bug:
There's an unintended method to carry a Boost over to the next stage.
There's about a second delay when you press the Boost button and when the Boost actually activates. If you kill the boss before that second passes you can activate a Boost without it getting automatically cancelled like normal. This state then remains until the next stage.
Score-wise it's only useful to carry a Boost over to stage 4. The other stages are not lucrative enough at the start to make up for not using the Boost on the boss.
On lower difficulties this is not really worth doing, but it's useful on Hard as all the turrets on stage 4 have more health and take longer to kill.
Boss Milking:
Since most boss strats involve SD'ing to replenish Boosts, it's actually more beneficial to let the Berserk meter run out before resetting it with the SD. You get a Boost bonus every 100% it drains, which adds up quite a bit on Hard, as every bonus is 20k. You can't do these for too long though, as bosses time out fairly quick.
SD before stage 4 boss:
Stage 4 is the only stage where it's possible to SD before a boss after the stage Berserk bonus is given. This gives a little bit of optimization as dying on bosses loses you a little score, as it does damage to the boss that could be spent shooting them in Boost.
Game does some great things to encourage you to keep improving your score:
- The game keeps track of your best stage and full-game scores and automatically makes a replay of them.
- The star grades and the par percentage does a great job of contextualizing the scores, so you feel the significance of the numbers more. Traditional scores have a problem that the numbers feel arbitrary if you don't know the context of what's good or bad already.
Stage 4 was pretty bad this run. I didn't destroy two turrets in Boost, broke a shield (50k loss) and missed the SD before the boss. Lost about ~150k there. The rest of the game went quite well though.

Devil Blade Reboot is a highly anticipated doujin shmup that finally came out on Steam.
The game has been in development since about 2017 and is made by Shigatake, a Vanillaware-affiliated illustrator, so you can expect some great production values here.
A remake of a game that started as a 1996 Dezaemon project.
Dezaemon being a popular 'Shmup Maker' on SNES, Saturn and PS1 (quite a lot of now fan-favorite shmups have similar roots).
The presentation of this game is one of the best I've seen. A highly cinematic audio and visual spectacle.
The gameplay is very good as well, the game is incredibly polished and has an incredibly high pace with mechanics that encourage very aggressive play for the highest rewards.
Game is doing some cool new QOL features for the genre.
Most attacks and enemy appearances are very well telegraphed, so there are no real unfair moments and it makes remembering the stage layouts easier. The bullet and laser telegraphing lines from Natsuki Chronicles make a return here.
Enemies also have different markers indicating whether they're ground or air enemies, and warning lines create sparks on your ship to indicate you should get out of the way.
Pointblanking increases the enemy's score multiplier and your Berserk%.
When Berserk is at 100% you enter Berserk Mode and all multipliers are multiplied by 5 (x4 becomes x20). Enemy rank also goes up.
Bombs can also be used as Boosts which further increases Berserk% gain by 5 times while the hyper is in effect.

Update:
Looks like the game got updated to remove the boss milking as almost a direct response to this video.
There is now a speedkill bonus applied to all bosses that basically further increases the overall score potential by about 1.4 million.
Not sure how I feel about a dev changing the rules right after putting out a score, but I guess it's a change that's overall better for the game.
I'm glad this is proving to have more longevity than was originally anticipated by some. Not that the game wasn't going to peter out and be dead in 4 weeks, but it looks like this game was blown WIDE open which is good to see.
yoo i recently watched one of your eschatos all clear, glad to see you actually still upload
Thank you! It is always nice to see one of your newest playthrough videos.
21:50 Phantasmagoria Trues vibes.
this game looks really pretty wth
VANILLAWARE HUH, THATS WHY
Wow! You make this easier than it seems.
I'm glad that not only is there more to the games scoring than initially thought (not THAT uncommon to be honest) but the developer is fairly receptive to the cool things the community is finding. Blessed Shigatake, we thank you for your work.
watched this goated run live
Mad skill =D
Bonus illustration unlocked in the menu!
RIP zero planet
Ahh no way Jaimers got me with that thumbnail
I am more displeased that it was done WITHOUT NOTICE than the fact that the boss milking was removed. Leaderboards before version 1.0.6 are now a thing of the past :((((
So its also rewarding you for basically "taunting" the bosses, and encourage you to do tactical sui-slide to gain more boost, therefore more berserk, therfore high score
*Truly the True Treasure experience*
Devi Blade chan
SHINY-chan!!
The graphics kinda remind me of Zanac Neo
Hey try show me your high score on ginga force all chapter on pc English
What do you mean by SD?
Self Destruct
Bruh that boost meter, I didn't even know you could get it to numbers this high.
You're really built different I guess.
I wanna ask, what exactly was the point of spending a good amount of time doing nothing during the 1st boss?
20k bonus for every time you let your berserk meter run out when it's over 200%
Every time berserk refreshes you get 20k points and you can get this 5 times before the boss starts to time out so it's a free 100k points per boss if you have the spare boost meter. Better to do this after using your initial boost from the bomb you receive before reaching the boss then die to refresh your bombs and get another 3 boosts in. The 100k points basically covers the lost no miss bonus and you get the benefit of additional boosts.
Some bosses time out faster as well so it's not 5 for all but it's free points basically.
前にこのゲームの開発者さんのコメントもあったので読みましたが
やっぱりSTGとしての完成度が凄いな…
クリムゾンクローバーみたいにAC版とか出ないかな？
I been hoping this would get a switch port but i think this game is too advanced for the switch to handle it
Im only here for the thumb nail
