This is a good run nice. Now it's time for extreme mode. Also I never used the auto shield in this game and watching your gameplay with it I am surprised how much it changes how you have to play. I also find it ironic that the shield actually forces you to play safer than the other skill cards, like I would have assumed it would make a more aggressive and risky playstyle safer. But I guess it makes sense that the shield forces you to focus more on dodging rather than using counter and break. But to me it seems like the shield would actually make the game harder overall, sure you get more hits but your damage output is significantly lower so fights last a lot longer.

One thing that's really interesting in this game is how different it is depending on if you are playing for score or survival. Play for score this game is actually pretty difficult, but play for survival the game is on the easier side but still has a fair challenge to it. And then once you get to inferno mode survival is scoring and if you don't keep your berserk up game over. I also wonder if Devil Blade 2 will get a remake like this.

I wasn't aware of it while I was recording this, but if you acquire enough energy from destroyed enemies while using your hyper mode, you can actually charge up a second hyper (like in Rolling Gunner), which significantly increases your score multiplier and allows you to fire homing shots. Another useful trick I didn't know about is that you can destroy the electric barriers in stage 2.

Decided to try this game out and I was surprised how low the difficulty is on original mode. Because usually I don't expect to 1cc a shmup first try, kind of makes me wish I went with hard mode first. But I have played some shmups where hard mode is a bad idea on a first playthrough. But I really enjoy its main gimmick where you graze the bullets to fill your gauge so you can do proper damage to the enemies, the music is also really good and the graphics are nice. What I dislike is how slow the game feels to me (Might be because I am used to bullethells enough to the point the easier ones just feel slow I don't know.) And the lack of a replay feature in game bothers me because I feel like shmups should always have one. This is probably a shmup I will go back to from time to time but it would have to be on the higher difficulties for me sense original felt too easy.

oh nice new player ahoy you know how to use discharge quite well already, that's really nice to see one thing i'd say is that during zako rushes the best way to use them is usually to open a gap for restreaming, either directly or through a blast wave in case you don't know, type C has a hyper called accel drive, you activate it by holding discharge when the thin meter at the top is half full, it increases your damage and discharge buildup also try to bomb if you think you're gonna get hit, bombs don't count toward rank or boss requirements and even lemulene's can deal a lot of damage if you get up close to enemies as for hidden bosses, keep in mind easy and normal have them at the same difficulty as arcade, so you should try getting comfortable doing low hit runs in arcade before tackling them in easy overdrives (hold bomb button) help a lot on them as well, since unlike bombs you can use their damage boost after the bomb shield expires one last thing, managing revenge bullets is important to avoid having to go through clouds of them, if you don't have discharge you can hold your fire before restreaming to create a gap, or get close to enemies to prevent bullets from spawning
