That being said, I am personally not really a fan of true hardcore bullet hell, but I just love vertical arcade shmups, this one is really not that. I see it has a sort of cult following, personally have never heard of it until being available on Steam. Its an OK title for me, I wont be asking for a refund, but I definitely won't be spending much time with it either. But if you are an acheivement hunter, its quite easy to get those with this one. And the bullet patterns are quite interesting. 6\/10. I am probably a little biased when it comes to shmups as I love them with a special kind of passion, however this game is just pure art. It's beautiful in every aspect, it's design, music, gameplay - everything is tight and really well produced. Absolutely worth the asking price and highly recommended.. Not a bad bullet hell for the price, which was $12 when I got it.As is expected from bullet hells, the music is nice and the shot patterns are pretty, etc. etc.There aren't quite traditional bombs in this game. There's a bomb that turns all enemy non-laser shots into safe, shootable targets to charge your special shot. The special shot has 4 levels, with levels 3 & 4 providing minor invul and all shots destroying enemy shots. Additionally, levels 3 & 4 stun bosses for a while and they all do excellent damage (Level 4 one-shots the first miniboss). These two charge up very quickly and it's encouraged to use them rather liberally.Small movements feel a bit clunky, making it a bit hard to move in small amounts with any sense of fluidity. Fortunately, this game seems to focus a bit more on larger movement rather than precise microspacing.Story is mildly engaging and has its fair share of typos, but nothing too egregious.Overall, RefRain is pretty fun for those who enjoy bullet hells, and is particularly good value for the price. Really cool shmup with an emphasis on destroying bullets and using special weapons and bombs constantly instead of saving them. Your special weapon charges its levels very quickly and each level results in an extra attack being fired with higher levels clearing bullets. Your "bomb" actually does not do any damage but instead turns all the bullets into destroyable items which you can then kill to charge your special weapon more. I have only played on easy and normal, but my understanding is that higher difficulties actually have patterns that are unavoidable, which would require your special weapon or bomb to clear the bullets. In most games that would be an issue but due to how quickly this game feeds you your special weapon you can actually due this on command with good play. The soundtrack is really good and there is kind of a story that happens through emails and the menus outside of the gameplay. This game is one of the cooler obscure shmups on steam and one of the most fun ones I've played in a while.. Fantastic game, and my god those bullet patterns are hypnotic. Only negatives in my opinion is the sound effects in places lack punch and the background can be rather simplistic at times. BUT who cares about that when the screen it covered in bullets :)Recommend it highly.. Really solid doujin shmup that's a great purchase for anyone who's a fan of the genre.RefRain does a great job of distinguishing itself in a genre of very similar titles by mechanically focusing on offense heavy gameplay and scoring rather than pure dodging. There is still much dodging to be done as is standard in the genre, however you have a very large, bullet destroying attack that charges very quickly when you deal damage. As well, your bombs charge based on point pickups encouraging players to explore scoring even when playing for survival. The game features three characters which all provide very different play styles to stay interesting. There are also a large number of difficulty modes to keep the game challenging to both newcomers and STG veterans.The scoring system present in Refrain is incredibly deep. In simple terms, the distance you are from an enemy determines the value of point items dropped, the closer the better. Further, your bombs turn all bullets on screen into shootable objects which give points and charge your special attack. Using your special attack on bosses makes them drop point items upon being damaged for a short time. What this means is that the special attack effectively charges your bomb, and your bombs effectively charge your special attack. Effective use of this mechanic allows players to chain the two attacks to rapidly defeat bosses. Doing so will earn a skip bonus upon defeating the boss. There is far more to the system however the general idea of scoring is captured with these two mechanics. An extensive manual is provided with the game for players who want to go deep into scoring. Presentation wise the game is top notch. Visuals are crisp and clear, and the soundtrack is truly amazing. There are a lot of nice little touches as well, from the swooping designs of the bullet patterns, to how each character has a different start menu to fit their personality. RefRain is one of the strongest in the genre with how it presents itself.I really hope that Degica brings out more like this. While I love the Cave titles they're bringing to Steam, there's something really special about seeing strange doujin titles get a chance to shine. I highly recommend this game to anyone interested in the genre.. Yes, its the RefRain you know and love in all its glory!If you are new to bullet hell type games then I would suggest this game to you, The ships are very well balanced and the ship mechanics teach you very important concepts that you can apply to other similar games. Remeber the goal isnt to just beat the game, but to beat it within one life\/credit\/hit (1cc) depending on how far you like to take things.However its very challenging on higher difficulties as well so very recommended for fans of the genre! Been playing since 2012ish in early development phases, and the developer is world-class and I consider this game to be in my top 5 favorites of all time! 10\/10 \u2665\u2665\u2665. (Updated review)RefRain is the third game in the, maybe I should say, Samidare universe. While the first game Samidare and the second RedRive are not available on steam and relatively less-known, it is not so important that you must play them to get what is going on in the RefRain storyline.To prevent spoilers, I'd rather not say anything else about the story here. And after all, this is a bullet hell shooter, so gameplay surely matters.Judging from my game experience and mediocre skills, I say that RefRain's 'normal' difficulty is somewhat easier than that of Touhou series, or at least easier than TH16 Hidden Star in 4 Seasons. In fact, if you treat RefRain as a dodging shooter you'll find it very challenging and discouraging. I believe some of the bullet patterns were designed to be countered with bombs (in RefRain, the M.E.F.A.). So the simple conclusion is that you can bomb your way through the game. Of course there are some places that require some grind but this is very normal and acceptable for a (Japanese) vertical scrolling shooter. Easy with wise use of bombs and challenging for no-bomb players, I would say.About graphics and game engine performance, RebRank sure improved a lot since Samidare. At the very least you can choose to play in windowed mode and can adjust resolutions and etc. They utilised 3D in this game, which is cool and guaranteed decent visual experience. However, the engine is absolutely not fully optimised since my GTX960M cannot maintain 60 FPS throughout the game and this Steam version was published at C80 back in 2011. I don't really think that my graphic card is that bad... Luckily the sudden frame rate drops only happen at transitions between actual battles (if you have a decent graphic card, since my other laptop with only Intel HD lags in battles even if I set the game to 30 FPS).9\/10 Would go for an extreme clear later.P.S. The developers RebRank are another doujin circle from the Tokyo Denki University. Other notable circles include Shunsatsu Sare Do? (Seihou series) and the infamous Shanghai Alice (Touhou series). Gates, VIVIT, Mai and Yuki appeared as extra stage bosses in RebRank's first game Samidare.. Don't know where this came from or how I missed it but it's pretty amazing. Reviewed in 2018. 9\/10. Super underrated STG. Interesting and unique mechanics, bunch of difficulty options, and a great soundtrack. Full English Voice Acting is READY!: Whoa, we've just finished implementing all of the voices for the game! As you probably know, Alice VR is a story-driven experience, so choosing the right voice actor for every character wasn't easy. Especially because there are no typical characters in Alice VR. The game's world is inspired by "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" so everyone there is... a little peculiar. And so we are very proud to announce that over 20 characters were recorded by Sound Cadence Studios, and the AI, which will lead you from the game, is played by Julie Shields and was recorded by the wonderful guys at Eon Sounds. Also, if you're not a native English speaker, please remember that Russian, German, French, Spanish and Polish subtitles (and Polish voices!) will also be available in game! If you want to hear the new voices (and some of the music...) be patient. Soon.... Do not miss this sale! ALICE VR -75%!: Welcome VR fans.
