[4K] Super XYX (Steam) - 1CC with Gauntlet + TLB - Cobra

Описание: -- 1CC Playlist!:    • Aktane Shmup Clears  

I loved this game when I got it ages ago so I'm very happy to return to it with some skills and hit the FULL FAT 1CC with the Gauntlet and True Last Boss.

This game is VERY momentum based, this was a lot harder than it looks here! Power Loss can spiral and make the game a bit harder...Was able to get ALMOST a NO-MISS, but had an unfortunate situation where I lost track of my heli and got tagged late in the game. Keep in mind I played this for about 4 - 5 hours the past couple days and I only got to the TLB ONCE, and to that stage ... 3 maybe 4 times and died instantly out of low power to the zako at the beginning... seriously... so to have this run go so well was a surprise, and felt easier than all the hours of dying that I did before this, ha!

I absolutely love the audio visual presentation of this game, but gameplay wise THIS is what a "Toaplan game" should feel like to me, it is fast, enemies are not tanky, and the fast bullets WILL tag you... and if you're not expecting certain attacks, you're gonna die a lot at first. Its a mix of reactions and memorization. I really like that about this game.

The "gauntlet" that the game thrusts you into is pretty confusing but really cool nevertheless. It is a "dream sequence caravan hard mode thing" that comes up that does NOT take away from your "real life lives" but it DOES let you use your bomb stock up... and it will not punish you if you lose your "B" lives, it will just put you back to stage 4 and you continue to play however you WILL lose power which can be huge ... you can still get a 1CC but not with the True Last Boss.

In terms bombs, you get 1 for defeating each stage, but sometimes you get more and I have no idea why. Coming out of the gauntlet I had earned 3 extends and got 3 bombs, in other runs I got more? in some I got less? I think there is some "bomb = scoring" at play here... and doing "successive" no-miss is a huge key to the scoring, you can see that in my score - but I have no clue how it works.

Apparently you can double the no-miss bonus if you hit "confirm" or "shot" button during the score screen? I dunno about all that... this game needs a better guide!

I own this soundtrack on Vinyl and you should be able to hear why, its freakin awesome. It was made by Carina :    • Super XYX vinyl stream - both variants   here is her channel spinning the vinyl.
