I bounced off of this game a couple of times. I wanted to like it, but it just didn't click. After finishing the game on Easy today I feel this is a very misunderstood title. You basically have to play it on Easy to start. All the mechanical pieces will fall into place. You'll grasp the shield\power and air\ground mechanics and upgrade your ship along the way in Easy which enables you to handle Medium (default) difficulty. Had they just started you off on the "Easy" setting but named the difficulty levels something like Normal, Hard, Extreme and set Normal as the default instead it would have made all the difference in reviews. Once this game clicked with me, it is an outstanding game and shmup. The graphics are spectacular! The controls are outstanding once you wrap your head around what you're doing. The sound is masterful; the echo of the explosions and depth of it is so cool. Upgrades to the ship are game changing and deceptively simple. Take a moment to understand how to set your gun width combinations, it makes a huge difference. It's not your typical shmup; you will get hit, it's impossible not to (for mortals) it's about balancing your shot width\angle, shields, and missiles. I went from 'meh' to 'wow' once it clicked. If you have a solid PC and an HDR OLED or mini-LED display this is absolutely stunning! Well done KeelWorks, it was me, not you.
I finally sat down and played through this start to finish. This game gets a lot of heat that to an extent it deserves, but I gotta say I'm super impressed with the massivity of it all. Playing it on hard was an act of futility but after completing it on easy and feeling the full weight of the story they were trying to tell displayed in the most gorgeous design in an on-rails shooter I've ever played... it's just epic. Pros: - Unparrallel level design, clearly inspired by The Matrix - Epic Bosses - Intricate Detail - Highly responsive controller scheme - Long Levels (I actually really enjoyed this part due to the interesting aliens and sometimes frustrating obstacles. This is also a bad thing - see below) Cons - Unless you have the utmost fine tuned zero-lag input and display settings, this game is impossible at level 1. - Also, Long Levels, (I know I mentioned this as a plus above but..) dying really tests my willingness to try again. Maybe consider allowing the player to earn a halfway point by number of kills? - Upgrade Menu could use a bit more explaining with an overlay that demos the items upon mouseover. - The opening scene includes the pilot exposing themselves which seemed ... campy and forced. This was obviously a labor of love. With some very small tweaks it could improve greatly. Get it on sale.
4.5/5 Criminally Underrated, Visually Stunning, and An Absolute Blast DON'T START THE GAME ON HARD OR EVEN NORMAL. START ON EASY AND GET SUCKED IN. Who should try it: Fans of Resogun, Nex Machina, and Action Rogue-Lites plus Casual Shmuppers, Twin-Stick Shooter lovers, and People tired of Pixel Art Who should avoid it: Shmup-Purists, People whose ego won't let them start any game on Easy, People who hate a bit of Spectacle, People overwhelmed by FX Disclaimer: I own the game on Xbox and two different PC marketplaces, finished it on Easy and working on Normal. Hard will probably remain out of my reach. I do not count myself as a shmup lover and have no idea what is considered "good" or "standard" or "mandatory" for the genre - nor do I care. TECH ADVICE: Cygni does NOT have dedicated Upscaling or Frame Generation. You'll have to do take care of that yourself, especially on older hardware. It also runs in Exclusive Fullscreen, so, for example for "Lossless Scaling", you'll have to edit the launch options in Steam - Properties - General with something like "-windowed" for it to work TLDR: PROS: Fun, visually stunning, fast-paced. Ideal for an hour of no-brain thrills. A game you can start on Easy and not feel bad. CONS: Some questionable design decisions. Some rather important mechanics are not explained clearly enough. Intended Game progression (Start on Easy, unlock and upgrade, then work your way up) not clear, which can lead to frustration of unsuspecting casuals ;) REVIEW WALL O' TEXT I work a lot, so to unwind, I like to play fast paced games that allow me to turn most of my brain off and just react. Cygni does that - and does it with style: Sharp controls, amazing graphics, satisfying combat, and fun boss fights, plus some nice, albeit not very well explained mechanics and "build options". It's one of those games that I keep coming back to. But I almost didn't get to enjoy it, because I started the game on HARD and did not make it past the first level. Don't do that. Easy is rough enough, Normal is very rough even after upgrading your ship, and Hard is forever out of my reach, I think. My recommendation: Start on Easy, get used to the gameplay and the controls, unlock all upgrades and upgrade your ship. Then move on to Normal - if you want to. If not, don't worry about it, because even on Easy it's immense, exhilarating fun. I understand that it may not be a "purist Shmup", whatever that might mean, and that the inclusion of air-to-ground combat and some other post 1985-mechanics might be considered anethema by the purist crowd. I can only judge the game by the gameplay and fun it delivers, and boy, does it ever. The systems, once you understand them and play around with them a bit, all support each other to create a very complete package that is far more than the sum of its parts. Cygni is how Space Invaders played out in my mind - by way of James Cameron (and maybe a bit of Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay). Is it perfect? No. A lot of the mechanics are not very well explained and the loadout/build-menu is difficult to parse and navigate at first, especially with a controller. And the decision to tie your shooting patterns to your energy distribution - you can shunt energy back and forth between shields and weapons - is questionable at best, particularly since it's not really made clear what that actually means for you (or it wasn't clear to me). Worse, you don't really see your current distribution unless you change it. There's also a bit of a mood dissonance. The game is not a particularly "happy" game, story wise: Alien Invasion, Apocalypse, Cats and Dogs living together, Mass Hysteria! Yet following the peppy tune of the opening cinematic complete with a cheeky gratuitous shot of the very nice butt of a very cute western anime-style female pilot you'd be forgiven for thinking otherwise - and getting a bit of whiplash once it turns into this sci-fi action spectacle with symphonic score. The devs are, luckily, aware of a lot of this. HOWEVER: While a Cygni 2.0 patch is pretty much ready, as far as I understand it, publisher KONAMI never gave the green light to deploy it. Yes, publishers have such power. I don't know what exactly happened or what's going on, so I won't speculate, but personally I think: A) If you want to complain about bugs or a lack of post-launch improvements, complain to Konami. It's their call. B) Reading the plans they have (implemented) for said patch, it's an utter crime that Konami has abandoned this game. I could say much more, but talking about the game makes me want to play it. If any of this sounds like fun to you, give this one a try - an honest try, starting from Easy - and I think you won't be disappointed.
