STORY
The year is 1977.Meglilo came from a magic kingdom to visit the human world, but she was unfortunately killed when she landed in the midst of a confrontation between Professor Amamori, inventor of the Vulkaiser, and the Gogoh Army.
Professor Amamori performed a reconstruction operation on her, and she was brought back as a WITCH-BOT, to seek revenge on the Gogoh Army!
Join Meglilo and her adorable sidekick/conscience, Billiken, as they blast through multiple worlds and bosses to bring about order and justice...after tragedy has already occurred.
Mixing classic vertical shmup action with hilariously dark cut scenes, Meglilo isn't a game where you just skip straight to the action. Watch as our heroine waits until AFTER the villains do terrible things (usually watching the whole time) before leaping into action. With great campy dialogue and questionable morals, WITCH-BOT Meglilo's cute aesthetics belie the sheer amount of havoc that happens around you.
GAME FEATURES
Meglilo isn't your usual bullet hell vertical shooter. When your lightning fast reflexes aren't enough, this magical cyborg has a couple of tricks up her sleeve.
Harnessing the magic that still resides within, Meglilo can stop time and warp about the screen! Simply press the Time-Stop button and choose where in the stage you'd like to teleport. Meglilo will then warp directly to her destination, making her invulnerable to incoming bullets and obstacles. Using the Time-stop warp, you can dodge enemy attacks, teleport to strategic points, and much more! But be warned: there's a limit to how often you can zap around, and your magical gauge will deplete quickly, so use your power wisely!
But don't just rely on your witchcraft. Meglilo's satellites are interchangable and upgradeable, featuing around 10 variations include “Multi-target shot”, “Laser” and “Drill”.
Different Satellite variations can be equipped on the left and right sides, allowing for totally different attack styles every time. For example, having a right side devoted to a melee style while the left is powered up with lasers. It’s up to the player how they wish to enter battle!
Show that you have what it takes to take on the Gogoh Army, its fierce commanders and ultimately save(?) the world!

DEVELOPER'S VOICE
The concept for WITCH-BOT MEGLILO was to create a unique shoot ‘em up that allows players to “stop time and dodge through a hail of bullets”.
Players will feel unstoppable as they easily evade attacks that they would normally find difficult to avoid, as well as attacks that are impossible to avoid.
With the Satellites that can be equipped on the left and right, the aim is to highlight the fun of creating weapon combinations specific to ASTROPORT.
Please play many times and try out various unique weapon combinations!
The story that progresses with each stage is presented as a dark comedy.

You know, I'll be happy if all the games I buy for the rest of my life are identical Astro Port games with one unique gameplay mechanic.
This one is part of their weirdly connected storyline, where all of their games take place, but it's supposed to be a bit more comedic and tongue in cheek than the others. Astro Port is usually inspired by nostalgia, both in terms of subject matter and gameplay; so their library has shmups like Raiden, or shmups inspired by 1970s Super Robots, or side-scrollers inspired by Assault Suits Valken and so on. This is based on... magical girls. Sort of. It's subversive to the trope. Just don't skip the intro sequence the game starts.
Gameplay-wise, it's fine. It's up to Astro Port's usual standard, in terms of both quality and style. If you've played their other shmups, you know what to expect of this one. Its unique gameplay mechanic is the ability to warp to different areas of the screen and reposition yourself. Visuals are fine, colorful, intentionally cartoon-like. Sound's fine too.
The only thing I wish they'd implement already is free play. The training mode doesn't count. Let that 1CC be the goal, not the requirement. Other than that, if you like shmups, pick it up, if only on a sale. Pick up all of their games. Except Saltazius.
I've been watching a lot of Electric Underground's videos lately and it got me interested in trying shmups a bit more seriously, so i returned to this one i remembered liking with the goal of completing it in normal mode.
After 9 hours i completed my first 1CC in the genre and i have to say i really enjoyed the whole experience, optimizing the pickups, getting a higher score to obtain extra lives, completing the levels without getting hit, seeing my performance get better every time, it's fun and it feels good. I plan to beat it in hard mode next.
Not a bad little game. The engrish is a bit rough and it has a DESPERATE need of a continue feature. but its not totally unfair until the last level
