The prequel to Void Stranger. The difficulty of the game is just enough that mere mortals can play through this and feel like they can actually beat it. The storytelling is phenomenal as expected of SystemErasure. Again, play without looking at spoilers, but don't expect quite as much secret searching as the sequel Void Stranger. I highly enjoyed and recommend this game.

This is sincerely one of the best little bullet hell/schmup games I've ever played. There's actually a great charm in it *not* being obsessively difficult and/or having an online leaderboard; I would recommend no other place for new schmup players. In terms of the content, there's enough for me (someone with probably thousands of bullet hell hours) to be happi and feel like it's worth the pricetag. Despite only having 8 colors in the *entire game*, visibility is perfectly clear (please take notes [every other game created]). You can start from the beginning of every level, so having limited continues is not a problem at all. Every encounter in the game is just wonderfully and seemlessly strung together. Boss design is snappy, doesn't feel like it's always "random attack from attack pool", all attacks and combos feel well adjusted (except for that one on 2-3, YOU KNOW the one), and the soundtrack usually adapts to what's happening in such a clean way. I notice there tends to be a lot of surprise about the very last encounter deleting your save file if you fail it, but it *is* made abundantly clear both visually and through text that you only have one chance. Also, that encounter isn't actually as hard as the final fight, and also losing your save file is... not that horrible of a loss? The game features only the metaprogression from unlocking more continues as more is played, and in general is not that long. The only issue I had is that it's a pretty controller focused game - I am not used to using arrow keys for bullet hells, which is the default keyboard control scheme, and you can't bind any inputs to the mouse unfortunately. Luckily the game literally only needs a stick and three buttons minimum to be played, with a fourth button allowing easier switching between zero ranger and ship mode.

I'm perplexed by the abilty of the devs to grab simple gameplay mechanics, and make a game so profound. I loved Void Stranger and ZeroRanger, i can't wait to see what comes next. I will be there Day 1.

it's actually a sin that a new Ubisoft game costs $70 but this costs $11

After completing Void Stranger (my personal GOTY 2023), I decided to give a previous System Erasure game a shot. I was impressed by Zero Ranger as much as their next game, I even enjoyed it even more in some aspects. Maybe it is not an impressive game for someone who 1CC'ed every single Cave game, but I enjoyed every single segment in this shmup. It was a joy getting used to every single pattern and trying to push your limits. While being hard in the second half of the game, I had no feeling that the game was unfair. I will never forget the last 3 bosses, one of the most memorable gaming experiences. Great visuals with some interesting artistic decisions and an amazing soundtrack. There are also some unexpected narrative segments, which spice up the experience even more and make it unique and memorable. I have mixed feelings only about one thing - how they decided to add a challenge in the ending. Without spoiling that much, it made the progression to the end a bit too long. I understand their decision and respect it though. On the other hand, it is still great to replay that game after getting used to more and more patterns. A choice of two ships and several powerups add more to the replay value. I certainly want to try to do a 1cc run and get into other shmups more now. Lovely game, can not praise it and geniuses from System Erasure enough. They became one of my favourite video game developers.
