@CharlieGirl how so? shmups are niche titles with a dedicated audience whose smaller sales figures are accounted by an higher price point than the average indie random, which in this case is in line with other shmups at release time.
I got this game and the first impression was bad. However I got more into it little by little and now I casually launch it to have some fun battles. Battle pace is great, slow swings that can either mean a battle of spacing ending in someone falling in a pit or brutal quick beheading of your opponent. It's like a multiplayer Bushido Blade. Lots of fun. Devs need to fix bugs though, some are so obvious that I don't see how they made it to release version.
@FLEEBS yeah I know what you mean, that's certainly a nuisance, these black screens are quite common during the game, but they usually last like 1 second or so, certainly not some nightmarish lenghts I have seen in a youtube video about issues. I have also noticed that if go forth and back they tend to become shorter until they stabilise. So maybe leave the game open? I do that all the time. I am quite sensible to loading times, and I have had no issues with the game, probably because the fact the game is always running (thus avoiding booting times and such) compensated the nuisance. I am still very happy with choosing the switch version for ease of use, but I understand some people might find it not acceptable
@FLEEBS that's weird. Do you mean the loading screens with the symbol spinning? I didn't time it,but they were much faster than what you described. I would have certainly noticed a 30 second, let alone a minute of loading. Do you have the digital game or the cartridge? I have the cartridge
@MisterMan I played handheld exclusively and I haven't noticed it. But it might be me. It's playable. The only issue I have noticed is the framerate in some areas and split second freezes here and there. Loading times is a non-existent issue. They ain't gonna fix the graphics anyway lol so if you are tempted get it and enjoy. It'a a good game
Again, giving access to the game for a lower price is good to gather player base for multiplayer.
Why would you prefer paying more to access the game and less for the dlc is beyond me.
A cheaper price is an incentive to buy for normal people. Making it more "worth" with an higher price is just nonsense. It's not an exclusive Lamborghini or a luxury thing that you can brag about being able to afford it.
Having more persons buying the game for a cheaper price is more beneficial to the publisher and to the game than this mythical person that doesn't buy the game JUST because it is not expensive enough. Does such person even exist? LOL
the more I play the more it feels like the reviewer barely touched the multiplayer. There is barely any mention on it, and the whole review sounds like a single player play, while the game is clearly tailor to be a multiplayer game. Yeah you can play it solo, I mean you can play Ff online or Phantasy Star Online solo, but would that give you a clear vision about the game and would you do it?
For anyone complaining about the price (that means you can play the game for a decent price), splitting game content into different version is something that Nintendo has been doing it since forever with Pokemon, the only difference they are charging full price for every edition. I am quite happy that I got the chance to buy it for a modest price, rather than paying 30 quid upfront. It is more likely that you can convince a friend to play it with you, you know having a strong focus on multiplayer.
quite an harsh review considering what got away with the standard 7/8 here. I ve playet a bit and it is fun to me. It fits a niche that it is very welcome in the Switch lineup. It has super nice graphics, good gameplay, cooperative multiplayer. I see it like a light monster hunter where you can enjoy the grind and spongy enemies (yes some people like it) while investing less effort/time.
