Interesting shmup, you ride powerful mech and have to fight a whole army of bullet hell enemies. Positive: 1. Great soundtrack 2, Interesting art and character. 3. Innovative gameplay mechanic, the shmup atmosphere can switch vertical or horizontal depends on state of the game map, also the mech is very powerful, it can melee attack, shoot and do power attack stuffs. It also regenerate its health. It is quite fair game since you need to fight an army of aliens. Negative: 1. Background story bit unclear. 2. Quite short. 3. There is a cheesy moment, where mc manages to convince the evil twin just by saying something like "let's go home together" line, and both girls cry and regret and then join back to fight togehter with mc.....yeah that is too simple Neutral: This is subjective but I think the mech design could be improved. I prefer Zone of enders mech like. Terrific gameplay, art and OST.

This game was a ride, I beat it twice in less then two hours on two difficulties. Way too easy. The story tries to pack in some emotion and feel but comes off so hilarious that it's worth playing just for that. I could refund it now, having already got everything out of it. But it's just too much of an oddity to let go of. I'll give it a recommend just because it's likely the safest purchase ever, beat it a few times and see if you even care to keep it in your library or not.

First playthrough doesn't leave the best impression because the characters talk so much that you're constantly diverting your attention to the text boxes on the bottom left of the screen, far from all the action consisting of hundreds of bullets and red lines. Though even while all this is happening you may find that you're still having an oddly smooth time surviving through all this for the vast majority of the game, making it feel like all flash and no substance when you're just playing to beat it and not for score. Which also kinda applies to the plot but... didn't really expect much in the first place. The extra lore bits in the gallery are pretty welcome, at least. Second playthrough on hard mode without the burden of needing to read the dialogue again made for a more engaging experience as this time I got to, and needed to, pay attention to what I and my enemies were actually doing. Definitely recommend trying that if you wanna give this game a fair shot.

Continuing my crawl thru the backlog, Astebreed is a really cool but short on rails mecha schmup. The Story isn't anything special but the visuals and art are what stand out in this game. The backgrounds shift cinematically thru the maps, flying around large spaceships, ancient infrastructure, and looks cool as hell. Music is good and voice acting is nice. Id say grab it when its on sale, enjoyed the short time I had with it
