The graphics are old school, but unfortunately so is the interface. It's not a bad game, but I got bored within a few minutes.. I remember the war.. Zenodyne R is one of the best indie shmups on Steam.The graphics are very well done and look exactly like they would have appeared in late-80s/early-90s. It looks like it could have been a Taoplan game!The music is the same--sounding exactly like you remember those old Genesis games from your youth sounding.The gameplay is fast and furious, but not cheap: you can usually dodge things that you see coming without having to memorize the entire game.The story actually works within the the game without getting in the way if you want to ignore it.Each level is unique with it's own visual feel and special gameplay. Unlike some other games in this genre, you will remember each level individually.The game's difficulty is hard, but fair. While the difficulty feels uneven in some areas, the way difficulty is adjusted for normal difficulty is primarily through how often extends are doled out, which allows less-experienced players to beat the game and not feel like they missed out on too much. Veteran players will find a very challenging game that mixes both modern and classic shoot 'em up elements.Branching paths provide some replay value and makes experimenting with different routes through the game feel less boring than other shmups.. I just had a quick blast on this and I liked it! The graphics are a bit garish, but perhaps that's intentional for a 90s DOS vibe, dunno. Anyway, the gameplay is fast, frantic and satisfying. If you like old-skool shoot 'em ups done bullet hell style, it's a good buy. Looking forward to seeing more shoot 'em ups from this dev.. Hell bids you enter. Victory may come slowly, painfully... Or perhaps not at all. But seek this despair, and you will be rewarded....Zenodyne R is ruthless and unforgiving, but the satisfaction of beating cruel and heartless levels will leave you hungering for more. 9/10-Rayne. This was easily a day 1 purchase for me and I wanted to wait til I've had at least 5 hours of playtime before reviewing. As someone who grew up in the 80's and 90's on cartridge based consoles, this easily brings that old feeling back: Starts out tough as nails, but as you get further in the game, the earlier stages become easier (and that was hard for me to believe at first). If you favored the type of music that the Sega Genesis punched at you, then your ears will definitely be feasted in this. There's been a slew of anime based bullet hell shmups popping up on steam lately, so this at the same time felt like a breath of fresh air.This is pretty much a straight up in your face vert shmup. There are 5 ships in total, but you start with one. There's a point system that rewards you after beating the stage boss. Those points add up and you'll eventually unlock the other ships as well as extra continue credits. This game has 5 stages, but don't let that fool you.One interesting feature this game has is that you're asked mid-stage if you want to take the harder route. I don't really feel like it makes the game harder? But there is an extra boss to fight after the main stage boss. Want tate mode? This has it.I do feel there needs to be some balance adjustments. For example, the first boss has 3 phases while the boss of stage 2 only has one. I felt it should be the other way around. Sometimes it just seems overbearing with all the activity on the screen followed by a quick moment of nothing. Again, these are brief. Enemy bullets are FAST, so you can't ever turn away, not even for a microsecond. This game defintely keeps you on your toes.I will continue playing this game even once after I've beaten it. It is definitely on my "gradually play again and again over the years" just like all the other shmups I play. I hope the dev continues to make shmups that don't follow the current trend.. Overall, this game is for nostalgia for the arcade games of the 90's. Played evening, I reminisce the past and sleep .... The soundtrack and start up screen alone are worth it. Wait for a sale though.. I mean I played this before on my alt account and its fun but nothing I would really recommend. 5/10
