What's it about
Inspired by classic Japanese shooting games, Danmaku Unlimited 3 is a lovingly crafted medley of the best aspects of Japanese bullet hell games, all in a polished, accessible package.
An old school shoot'em up? Why is it worth my time?
Bullet hell style mechanics is having a kind of renaissance with its inclusion in many hit indie games. However if players want to explore more into the world of Bullet Hell a lot of traditional titles can be hard to understand in its mechanics or just plain too difficult to get into as a newcomer.Danmaku Unlimited 3 is designed to be intuitive and accessible to players unfamiliar with the genre, all the while without losing any of the intensity and flashiness that makes the genre so exciting to play.
Okay, so how does the game do that?
CORE A staple feature in Bullet Hells, only the very center of the player's craft, the core, is vulnerable to enemy fire.
GRAZING Get the core close to bullets to just barely "graze" it will power up the player's craft. Once fully charged it can unleash a powerful rampage that makes you feel like a total boss.
SPIRIT/GRAZE SYSTEM Shooting down enemies turns their shots into harmless ghost bullets that the player can safely touch while also powering up the plane.
All of this allows the game to be at a level of challenge that is manageable for a wide range of players without reducing the game into a bullet free turkey shoot.
I'm good at bullet hell shooters, won't I just breeze though the game then?
The game has two unique modes, GRAZE MODE features a differently tuned system (with conditions to trigger the ghost bullets) that offers a higher level of challenge comparable to the toughest traditional bullet hell titles.
Is there a story?
It is about a guardian, entrusted with Earth, rebelling against her overseers. Shakespeare it isn't, but you are here for the bullets and explosions right?
How is the music? A Shmup is nothing without good music!
Music is by BLANKFIELD from Japan, who does awesome remixes of Touhou and many other anime/game musics!
Anything else?
- The campaign features 5 stages each ending with an epic multi-stage boss fight.
- Up to 25 weapon combinations for players to unlock and experiment to find what works best for them.
- Unique rendering technique that procedurally animate sprites on the fly.

One of my favourite shmups, amazing ost, an intriguing world and backgrounds with exhilarating gameplay that cannot be found anywhere in most modern day videogames!
I’m frankly amazed by the number of ways this game manages to be a disappointing followup to Danmaku Unlimited 2. I thought DU2 was a solid shmup, and DU3 looks cleaner and has a much cooler soundtrack. But my praise ends there.
The UI in Danmaku Unlimited 3 is broken in several places. Ship selection often doesn’t work, forcing you to play ship type A-A even when you pick other types. Pressing continue to go to the next stage sometimes plays a looping animation that delays loading. And the game repeatedly asks you to replay the tutorial since “it appears this is your first time playing,” even when it most definitely isn’t.
The gameplay takes inspiration from the worst aspects of CAVE’s mostly storied lineup. Spirit Mode, for example, adopts the cancel-on-kill mechanic from Espgaluda II Black Label, neutering the threat of most non-boss enemies in DU3 to the point that many stages practically play themselves if you sit in the middle and hold fire. A variation of the awful laser wheels from DaiFukkatsu that nobody wanted to see ever again also show up in multiple stages here, along with some rather poorly-communicated wall interactions that belong in a horizontal shooter, not a bullet hell. And the bosses have too many phases, many of which drag on for way too long.
All in all, this game is only mostly functional and only partly fun. I would recommend other shmups over this one any day of the week. My personal favorites on Steam are Mushihimeama, Gunvein, and Blue Revolver, all danmaku games like DU3. Devil Blade Reboot is also great if you want something simpler, and Eigengrau is an underrated puzzle-shmup hybrid that might also be worth your time.
At some point this game completely stopped working for me. The launcher says "compile successful" on startup, and then closes with no game window. No idea how common this issue is, or whats causing it.
absolutely stellar ost that drives high paced simple and robust shmup gameplay. pure joy.
This game is so hard, but I cant stop playing it. Has an awesome soundtrack and is really addictive
Just as with its predecessor, the frame rate is locked at around 57 FPS, causing terrible stuttering at a refresh rate of 60 Hz. That, alone, is sufficient for me to award this game an emphatic thumbs down.
