Review: Azure Reflections (PlayStation 4)

Enemies come at you from all directions with relentless hails of bullets! Fight back with a well-timed Danmaku Rush to tear your way through bullets and enemies alike!

Pros:

  • Anime graphics.
  • 1.379GB Download size.
  • English/Japanese text option.
  • Japanese voice work.
  • Optional repeatable tutorial.
  • Three control layouts- Default, Original or custom.
  • Three difficulties- Easy, Normal and hard.
  • Really fast loading screens.
  • Platinum trophy.
  • Can use analog or d-pad.
  • 2D side-scrolling bullet hell gameplay.
  • Unlock new characters who each have unique moves, cards, and specials.
  • Cards are your special moves and you can earn them from defeating the bosses in the main story.
  • End of level breakdown with a rank given.
  • Huge screen-filling special moves.
  • Combat- You can use many moves to counter the screen full of bullets from nullifying a radius of them and turning them into nothing, Specials that take bullets away and a shield.
  • Defeated enemies drop power-ups and bits that charge up your super moves.
  • Big boss fights.
  • Practice mode.

Cons:

  • Very short story mode.
  • Hitbox is very small and not your character per se say getting used to that is your goal.
  • Repetitive.
  • Kind of a one and done experience.
  • Feels like this game has been done many times before.
  • The whole card system is confusing.
  • Nothing really groundbreaking here.
  • No English dub.

Gaming since the Atari 2600, I enjoy the weirdness in games counting Densha De Go and RC De Go as my favourite titles of all time. I prefer gaming of old where buying games from a shop was a thing, Being social in person was a thing. Join me as I attempt to adapt to this new digital age!
