MAKING CYGNI - How Keel Works and Konami Brought Back The SHMUP! - Electric Playground

[@Sveakungen]

Great interview! And props to Richard from Konami to put in such effort in supporting the game and joining in for the chat and also the making of. Nice to see And yes, the game is really good minus the quite complicated upgrade system and making the first level the longest and hardest.

Great to see this interview Vic. As a shmup player I’ve been dying to play this. Unusual for a modern shmup to have this kind of budget. It’s been sitting pre ordered on my Xbox for the last month 😂

[@Maxime-s9e]

Thank you for the interview. Great game.

[@DeesBees85]

I’ve been hyped about this game since the first trailer. Will be buying it immediately.

That was a great interview, another company to follow here in Edinburgh! The game looks amazing, I'll definitely get it if they manage to finally port it to Switch. I really enjoy this type of interview where even if it were a game I'm not at all interested in, the people behind the game have interesting stuff to talk about. Thanks!

I only recently discovered this game a few weeks ago and I am SO hyped!! Love the passion this dev team clearly has for the genre. Can hardly wait!

Great to see someone covering this game!! Awesome interview

[@naysgameopinions]

Great interview. I can't wait to play this. It looks amazing.

[@MysticGargoyle]

Absolutely a game i will add to my shooter collection, it looks innovative and the graphics looks good as well

[@TheSevenFaces3]

Vic I love your shows you are a Canadian treasure sir! Cheers I will check this game out

[@kaikiske7436]

Looks cool! More interest was piqued a few days ago, when I saw the trailer on the XBOX store, and they had a mock up of the Legendary PC Engine in the trailer, and KONAMI PCE Gradius. Will definitely buy for XBOX!

[@TheActs2021]

I soooo can't wait for this game! Buying physical day one!! Looks amazing!

Cygni is a shmup that I'm very interested in, and has lots of potential (upcoming patch yey) BUT I never enjoyed other konami shooters, opting for cave, touhou, etc, instead. So I'm all for experimenting more like this!

[@ninjasec]

I like SHUMPS, but I'm terrible at them, bless easy mode. I still enjoy galaga too

[@ArvoVenkatron]

Heard about this today- looks awesome

[@ionseven]

I can't wait for this game!

[@randybradley4151]

I've had this game pre-ordered for nearing a year with GameStop Canada and about 2 months ago was delisted from their database. The manager asked me if I wanted to cancel my pre-order and I said no and here's hoping it gets re-listed on their database.

Visually striking. However the gameplay is a bit of a mess. Still enjoyable but there are simply too many enemies flooding the screen. Bosses are awesome but overall it would need a lot more balance and better level design to give it more than 7/10. UI and upgrades is also not well designed, too unclear.

[@aVataR_ehyeh]

They are rebalancing and revamping and clarifying stuff for upcoming patches, but we'll see how well they do manage to do that.
