It is a 2D Sci-Fi Action Shoot 'em up that can use command deadly techniques like fighting games. In this title, you can destroy enemies by using 10 distinctive special moves, "Methods", in addition to normal shooting attacks.
"BULLET HELL", "ENEMY BARRAGE", "FAST PROJECTILES", "BEGINNER KILLER"
You do not need to be afraid of this demonic threat, for you are superpowered.
Akashicverse is a game developed by a small team, but it shines a lot brighter than most of the STGs in the market, including high budget ones. The art direction is masterful, the sound design is powerful...
I'm writing a big ol' review, my first ever steam review, because this game has blown my mind and I need to tell you about it. In the most affectionate way possible, I need to tell you - if Polybius were a real game, I think it would play something like Akashicverse.
This is a shmup where you do fighting game style inputs for special moves, the music...
Super late edit since my previous review was for the Early Access:
The game is now fully complete, with an additional "extra stage" DLC added. In short, it's great. If you've heard of Hellsinker then I won't hesitate to tell you that this game is just as unique, if only a little simpler, than Hellsinker.
I'll write a more detailed review at a later...
Why should you buy this game? The true question is: Why not? This shooting game combines fighting game inputs with shmup gameplay. It is also the game that has so many references to other games that I can't even list them all. Main inspirations were Hellsinker and Re:frain prism memories which I recommend checking out aswell.
This game is different...
Well if you like "unusual" shmup like hellsinker. , stellavanity, radio zonde, etc you probably gonna like Akashicverse too and if you don't or never play "unusual" shmup then you should give this game a try
The mechanic it self is pretty good you guys can watch the gameplay video if you not believe it and aesthetic part also pretty good.
