Hah! I get it, it's like "Vampire King" or something, and doesn't mean at all that these

vampires have vestigial hands and arms. Not that they'd need it anyway, because this is

BULLET HELL and obviously the dinosaur... erm... vampires would just fire massive energy

blasts at things using MIND BULLETS. Y'know, the kind that can kill a yak from 200 yards

away. THAT'S TELEKINESIS, DEREK. And it's also Ikaruga, apparently. No, seriously. You

show this to most folks on the street and they'll go, "Man, what's with that weird skin

on Ikaruga?" Well, correction, most of them will just stare at the huge patterns of bullets

on screen, become mesmerized, and just kinda stare at you like stunned carp.

Yes, the color-toggling bullet hell action hits PCs with this doujin title, the second

in the eXceed series, which turns the entire premise on its head! In the first game, you

were one of three girls, hell-bent on protecting humanity from the vampire scum what's trying

to take over the city (if you could make even that out through the utter lack of translation).

In eXceed 2nd, though, you are... a cute vampire girl, floating around on a mandala of some

sort, tasked with proving your loyalty to your master and finally landing that promotion

you've had your eyes on for some time now, by taking down... well, the cast from the

first game. Only now, it's actually in English, thanks to the efforts of Nyu Media! Yes, the

tables have turned, and so have a majority of the mechanics. You've still got the intense,

bullet-slaloming action that the genre is known for, you've still got interstitial dialogue

that makes you feel like you're just filling the holes in what would otherwise be a visual

novel, and you've still got a seriously freakin' awesome soundtrack that does its own part

to boost the intensity until you get a nosebleed from the action. Or maybe that was just an

But, yeah, I can still hear those of you out there in Letter People Land shouting "BUT

IT'S JUST AN IKARUGA KNOCKOFF!" And yeah, you're kinda right. The "Soak up fire of one

color, avoid fire from the other" mechanic, the "Hitting mobs with the wrong color does

double damage and bonus points" mechanic, the "Absorbing fire charges super-ultra-big-shot-mindblow"

mechanic... it's exactly like Ikaruga, only significantly faster and with more intense

firing patterns. That said, I was about to sacrifice a lamb to try to get more Ikaruga-style

fast-twitch color-toggling action in my life, and now I don't have to do that! There's more

than enough room in this world for two good bullet hell shooters that happen to agree

on a particular mechanic, and they are more than welcome to get friendly on my hard drive
