What players say

I am no good at bullet hell games or shoot em ups but I did it! It was fun. And Star Breaker became my second ever comfort character, as the kids call it. Help me I am attracted to crazy women now

I don't have enough time to play harder difficulties, but easy story mode is fun enough. The soundtrack is one of my favorites!
PassNGrinRecommendedafter 14hMar 2026Read on Steam
This is an amazing follow-up to Suguri! (the first game) Everything is much more optimized, and the OST is even better than before! I will say that just like with Suguri's game, I believe most people would get confused over the blue projectiles from Hime, just as I did not expect Suguri to possess similar projectiles. But off to state the good! 1. The bossfights. I would argue that this is the best part of the game...
