Shout out to ludonarritives that use frictional mechanics to show Buddhist themes, gotta be one of my favorite genders
I found enlightenment. You can too kupo!
its peak
peak
Play it. I can't tell you why. You will be glad. Just do
This game is genuinely so fucking cool.
Never have I ever thought that I'd be reacting so strongly while playing a shmup, so much so that it's lead me to fall in love with the genre as a whole. Whether it be using the drill against Grapefruit, finally getting through Sacred Defender with one life left and talking to her, as well as all the awesome gameplay in between; it stayed fun throughout.
System Erasure rocks and I'm already knee deep into their next game :)
Also loved the Green Arrange collab album, all the artists making their own takes on the songs was so nice to see
I'll get that 1CC someday...
Won't say much cuz there's still stuff planned to be added to the game, all I'll say is it is really good.
Somehow I never did a review on this game, but it's probably the best shmup I have ever played in my life, genuinely.
Visual, audio and gameplay presentation are all incredible, as well as it's story bits.
I could go in depth and compare it to other shmups I have played before, but I will just say that this is clearly a very passionate project by developers, a love letter to shmups, they got everything *just right*.
If shmups as a genre mean anything to you, you absolutely should play this one.
Best enjoyed completely blind.
The game is serious about "you only have one shot" at the end. IT WILL DELETE YOUR SAVE FILE IF YOU DIE.
BLUF: It's a fantastic schmup that rewards you for tenacity...until it betrays you and your time.
Was really having fun with this game until it just decides to undo the last 2 days of play. It's not like Nier where the save deletion happens AFTER you've done everything in the game. The risk of deleting all of your progress is the ante you pay to finish the game. I paid money for the game, I shouldn't have to pay in repeating a grind as well.
I hate this game design and how much it asks me to risk just in order to keep playing it. I do not find value in this extremely harsh "punishment" that makes even the concept of a save file pointless. You are telling the player "you aren't worth showing the end of this game."
If you're into masochism, you'll probably enjoy that aspect of it. I'll also admit that it's an interesting idea to apply save deletion to schmups that have progressive upgrades. However, this aspect of the "art" of the game constructs a barrier that doesn't have to be there. It means that players who feel betrayed by having their time investment wasted will leave your game unfinished and in the pile of "never trusting that dev again".
PLEASE CONTINUE
Good bullet hell shoot-em-up that demands near-perfection the longer you play, requiring quick reaction time and the ability to track tons of stuff happening all over the screen. Making a few too many mistakes and running out of checkpoint continues forces you to restart the entire stage. That's a bit too unforgiving for a newbie like me. If this is among the best of its genre, maybe this genre isn't my thing.
this game is going to ruin my life i can just tell
Peak
one of the hardest game i ever played
medication for my adhd
I hope you like oranges.
Incredible little game
avant garde bullcrap, deletes ur save if u die at the final boss, if the game just didnt pull this shit itd be 10/10, sadly its now only a 9/10 smh my head
ROW ROW FIGHT THE POWER
buy it.
holyy
Beautiful artwork, great soundtrack, creative level design, and an excellent finale. ZeroRanger has it all.
7/10, short and sweet, some cool tracks and the pixelart goes hard at times
Get this, please.
Buy the fucking video game
I LOVE ZERORANGER!!!! RAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's peak
Play please, its fantastic and going in blind is best
А когда фины и адекватные игры
This is defo one of the best games I've played this year
The artstyle is really unique and both the stage/enemy designs are really interesting. The soundtrack is just something else it's insane how good it is, really gets the blood pumping.
The gameplay is the usual stuff you would find in a normal shoot em up but with a neat twist (this being the secondary mech mode in later stages, useful for doing a ton of damage or avoiding bullet barrages) that makes it really refreshing. Difficulty-wise is pretty fair but if you want to get a proper 1cc you're going to really work for it. It has lots of replayability and a few aces up its sleeve so you'll have a blast.
At a first glance the story looks a bit plain but it really caught me by surprise later on, it's actually super cool once you get going a bit.
Overall I really loved playing ZR and for just 12€ it's worth your time
Shoot'm up
IS THAT THE VIC VIPER
Stop looking at the reviews and play the game.
You're already this far down - so you're interested.
Don't look anything up, don't spoil yourself on anything, just pick up the game and stick with it all the way through to completion. It invites you in very warmly and very lovingly to clear it, and makes no attempt to baby you but is also very encouraging inherently with it's mechanics and progression.
To System Erasure:
I bawled my eyes out upon finishing, which is not something that happens very often with games for me. I think there's something to be said about the emotional weight of knowing you can do something, knowing you can get there, and then really trying your hardest and exceeding that. Thank you for one of the best games I have ever sunk my time into. I'm looking forward to what else you make.
Few have mentioned how you cannot skip much of the game's dialogue or cutscenes due to this game's narrative focus (which Shmups don't need, along with 'lore'). I find this very frustrating as the game is in favor of the 1CC mentality and I can get behind that. This game references a lot of Shmups, and that's cute, but the Shmup genre does not need any more love letters, it needs good games and we don't need more people thinking this is the pinnacle of the genre or anything like that. At the end of the day its a very middle of the road shmup-like art project that's rather pretentious.
Do me a favor, if this was your first Shmup and you went on to 1CC some other game, let me know.
Incredible game. Even if you're a complete novice to shoot em ups like I was, this is worth investing your time into. If nothing else you should play it for the incredible soundtrack and fantastic sprite work, but there's a really fun actual game here too with a lot going on under the hood. Step outside your comfort zone and experience a real gem.
From what I understand, no one has mentioned how you cannot skip much of the game's dialogue, scripted segments, or moments of downtime due to this game's narrative focus. This is SO frustrating, as this game prioritizes and is in favor of the 1cc mentality - no further elaboration on that without spoilers - meaning that you will most likely be completing many repeat runs of this game's levels. These unskippable moments botch the pacing of ZeroRanger like crazy! They artificially lengthen the experience by nearly 1.5-2x of how long a run in this game should've been. After experiencing most of the story in a previous run, I just want to play through the damn game and retry that true final boss...
Due to my interest in shmups being newfound at the time of this review, I am a somewhat inexperienced player of these type of games in general, with at the time of this review only having played through a few Touhou games on Normal difficulty. That being said though, I simply believe that this game wasn't entirely for me for a few other reasons:
• The game's inherently "transcendental" and forced upon narrative not doing it for me and obstructing the moment-to-moment gameplay itself.
• The game's visibility being somewhat of an issue regarding the reading of attacks compared to other shmups due to its two-color palette. The actual pixel art itself is great though.
• This game's VERY frustrating yet bold game design decision that encourages 1cc play for newcomers. I personally think said decision could've been implemented more gracefully through a more encouraging means, but I do not exactly know how at the time of this review. Maybe just omit the decision in the first place, and have an even better optional ending for if you were to 1cc through means that do not create setbacks. I am admittedly not great at this game though despite beating the true final boss, so this criticism could possibly be due to lingering frustration and lack of skill.
Shooting shit will never not be fun though, and in the end this game is pretty good at letting me shoot shit, so take all of this with a grain of salt honestly.
One of the best examples I can think of in blending narrative, theme, and game design, comparable to something like Undertale. Criminally underappreciated.
Extremely fun. High replayability.
Amazing shootem-up,
i HATE this STUPID chud game it SUCKS
I ain't well versed in Schmups but hey, this was quite fun
Not much to say here other than what you see is what you get.
It's a quality schmup with a striking green and orange theme that's forgiving enough that I think most people can get into it.
Soundtrack rocks, fights are satisfying, it's really nice. I only have one debatably negative thing to say and while it is a spoiler it does not have to ruin the game, it's well worth trying regardless.
The True Final Boss is one of the most cruel things I've seen in a while, though not in your typical "tHiS iS tOo HaRd" kind of way. The game warns you that you only get one shot if you decide to attempt it, and it means it. Failure means total save file erasure, meaning if you die it is back to the very start with you. It's completely doable despite the curveball it throws you, but do expect this to add extra gametime, never give up.
Short, sweet, well worth your time if you think it looks interesting.
The game's quite short but it has a few reasons to replay it, but if you have no problems with that, it's a yes from me.
If you heard about the save deletion, ITS OKAY, the game is pretty easy on a second and third playthrough and youll end up beating it in no time. The final final boss is balanced around the concept that you've mastered the game thoroughly as well.
Just a little tip though, you can wait it out and its power will greatly diminish.
i've never played a shmup before but after playing this i suddenly have the urge to buy a big freaking drill and kill god
amazing music, game is very fun even as a beginner
def recommend doing multiplayer if you have a friend to play with
It's peak, cinema, actually gourmet.
Some asshat difficulty spikes, too bad I forgive anything Trigger related.
10000000000010230102381023891928377981237892/10
Also buy the OST, all of them.
Coolest final boss of all time.
this is the greatest game of all time
unironically
i will die on this hill
no game released in the remainder of this century will top the masterpiece that is ZeroRanger
failing the end deletes your save. i dont care if its thematic. i want my time back. this has happened twice
Play this game. Please.
