This is one of the greatest games you've likely never heard of, a true classic of the Bullet-Hell genre.
It has a lot going on, plenty of obtuse mechanics and strange quirks of its own to be managed, but if you can power through some rough opening hours, it becomes something truly unique and additionally, one of the most fun shmups of all time.
Would recommend it full-price, and on sale it's pretty much stealing at that point
If Devil May Cry was a shmup it would be Hellsinker
equal parts blessing and curse. the most esoteric shooter in known space. use a guide to learn basic menu stuff and then explore your psyche and reflexes until you are who you were born to be.
Most complex controls of any shmup I have played so far, but once you get it it becomes really fun.
Hellsinker is a mess. Genuinely nauseating UI with an incomprehensible font. An awful and nonsensical translation. A dozen different mechanics vying for attention, but only a few of them matter. Frustrating, annoying bosses that are a chore to beat. And the soundtrack isn't even that good.
Hellsinker is a frustrating, confusing experience where any good points are buried under a mountain of obtrusive clutter. If someone says this is a good game for beginners, they are lying to you. If you spent thousands of hours playing STGs and have run out of options, then you might have fun with this. For everyone else, I would recommend you avoid this game.
Hellsinker is a game that gives you a surprisingly large moveset for a Japanese shoot-em-up. You have a typical machine gun on your main shot, but you can charge it for a single-target sword swing, but you also have your subweapon that throws out a turret that shoots piercing bullets back to you, but you can get a stronger version of that turret by not firing your main weapons and an alternate version if you hold the button down... and there are 3 characters to play as. and they all play completely differently. And you can unlock 4 more.
That alone makes the game super replayable. Bouncing between characters keeps the early levels feeling fresh, and when coming back to a character you might find a use for a move you'd been forgetting or a better combo to handle specific situations.
I haven't done a full clear of the game or seen the final boss, the later levels do get quite tough, and you only get 1 continue, but Hellsinker somehow manages to not feel overwhelming. The enemy patterns are often slower and less intense than I've seen in other games, and while there's a lot of small details in the scoring and extra life systems it's the kind of stuff that sits in the background and you don't need to know about it for the game to function. You're free to focus on your own abilities and moves, which makes you feel in control.
If you're willing to learn the controls and read the manual for details on each character's moveset, Hellsinker is likely one of the most interesting and engaging shooters you'll find.
