Rikkarr Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hey everyone, if you have some time, could you share some opinions about this collection and its games? I saw it was part of the PSN sale thingy, and I'm considering it... I typically enjoy these types of games, but I'm a little unsure about spending money on it, as funds are a little sparse and I'm not sure about the quality. What do you guys think?

cimerians Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I was about to buy this collection cause it was cheap but I dont like the big characters. Too big for a shooter, which means you cant really maneuver well which means high and frustrating difficulty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammR25 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 The player characters are big but the collision detection box on them is actually pretty small. I have them and they're decent shooters but there are others I'd rather play. I'm not a big fan of bullet hell shooters and that's what these are. It comes with two side scrolling shooters and one vertical shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onmode-ky Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Agreed with the above; it's a bullet hell shooter collection, with big sprites but small hitboxes. As for the quality, it's a doujin soft series, i.e., Japanese indie. Take from that what you will, but high difficulty is pretty much guaranteed. Also, be aware that there is a PC version available at the US publisher's site, which is a physical disc plus some bonus goodies. Lastly, I think the games (on the PS3) are Remote Play-compatible. At least, that was the reason cited by a Rockin' Android person to me when explaining why there were PSP ESRB ratings for these games, even though there's no PSP version. onmode-ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikkarr Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Thanks for the input, guys! The character size was a concern for me too, but when you mentioned that the hit boxes were small, that was a relief. I am a big fan of bullet hell games, like Touhou, so I decided to buy it. So far, I'm very impressed with the games! I would have liked to buy a physical copy for the PC, but my computer is beyond crap (256mb RAM beige box ) so this was really the only option. I also read that there is, indeed, remote play (and I DO have a PSP, so that's good news). Once again, thank you guys for your input, it was much appreciated!

onmode-ky Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Should you still be considering the PC version, I point out that, this being a Japanese indie game, the system requirements are quite low. Here is what the Rockin' Android site says: OS - Windows 98/2000/XP/ME/Vista/7 CPU - Intel Pentium III 800MHz System RAM - 256MB Video Card - Direct3D/DirectX 8.1-compliant video card with 64MB RAM Sound Card - DirectSound compatible sound card Hard disc space - 350MB free space The guy who made this, by the way, is an associate of Touhou's maker, ZUN. So I read somewhere, anyway. onmode-ky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still interested in this version, and my friend is giving me his old computer (about 4X better than this old box o' silicon), so when I get the chance, I'll need to pick this up as well. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That sounds exactly like my PC-we got it in 2004, and it has a Pentium 4 (which by now is probably stone age), and even less then 256mb of RAM. We do have Comcast high speed internet-just not the machine to run it! I'll have to get these games on the PS3, how much does each one cost??
