Shuttlecock H Review (Nintendo Switch OLED)

by Jim Smale · February 21, 2023

For our Shuttlecock H Review, where we learn that the only thing worse than entering a bullet hell shootout in deep space is not having the ability to shoot back, right? In Shuttlecock-H, that’s all part of the fun! Pilot your unarmed shuttle with absolute accuracy and the 3 female companions you encounter will be sure to make it worth your trouble. Shuttlecock-H is a naughty “dodge’em up” bullet hell game where you’ll need to evade enemies and projectiles while collecting hearts, up to 30 in each stage. Grab enough hearts and the girls will be wooed by your display of skill, unlocking the next level and a chance to get even closer to them. Each girl selected offers a different take on the story and a variety of increasingly spicy scenes to unlock, all voiced in Japanese!

Shuttlecock H Review Pros:

Decent graphics.
377MB download size.
Reverse Shmup gameplay.
The goal of the game is to collect hearts and avoid enemy projectiles and ships.
Three women to entertain. Two initially then a third to unlock.
As you progress through the levels, the women lose articles of clothing.
As women strip down you get an image of it saved to the gallery.
Variations in the gameplay are ships, projectile styles, and box-enclosing levels.
You cannot shoot, only turbo which brings nearby hearts to you, and at times the turbo shield can block projectiles. end of the level breakdown.

No tutorials.
Takes a while to understand the rules and mechanics.

Summary

A game so bizarre and hard to get into that I spent more time figuring out what to do than I did playing! Shuttlecock H is basically a game where you avoid ship shits and get tits. Sound crass but that’s it, you avoid enemy projectiles and get a woman to strip. The game is very linear in that aspect and it doesn’t deviate enough to make it particularly memorable. I didn’t have any particular fun with it as I was too busy cursing at how fiddly it all gets. I’m not sure the sort of gamer this suits but if you like avoiding shots rather than making them then Shuttlecock H is for you.
