REVIEW | ‘Caladrius Blaze’ (English Version)

Versão em Português estará disponível a partir do dia 06 de Fevereiro!!!

Another mind-bending adventure awaits Shoot-em-all/Shoot-em-up Caladrius fans emerging them to a threaten haven’t seen before, unless you played Caladrius on Xbox 360. Still searching for clues behind the all this threat, Its too funny the way we go further on foes and massive bosses to play against.

Entering into a bright and bustling game, its to often manipulate yourself onto a harsh way to soar and traverse a vast and detailed ‘remastered’ Shump game. This lovely adventure features the ships to a whole new audience with a fresh art style and a brand spanking new storyline. The game has it’s short campaign, but no doubt it’s roused from a deep sleep, suddenly alert. Caladrius Blaze upends that tradition of Shumps by placing diferent ships at the vanguard, and generally it’s a story worth checking. I’d go so far as to call this one of my favorite Shumps released til now.

Indeed Caladrius Blaze is a sweeping classic Shoot ‘em All game with awesome gameplay. Flying around elsewhere, you’ll check deeper tons of detailed, varied, realistic 2D graphics that are much more than we’ve could expect. It was already good and impressive the experience tho’, and dont worry, the game was released on Europe by H2 Interactive, thus, there wont be a problem with Canji menus, but english itself. There will be basically 8 different characters to pick up as, all with their own ship. Each ship has three different abilities, defined by attack, defense and support. All of these types of shots have a meter at the bottom, that fill up over time and deplete when you use them. All the characters have a different elemental shot as well as its unique Stories. Yeah, the storyline itself changes depending on the combination of characters you do select! About killing enemies with these types of shots above mentioned, will make them drop an elemental chip. This way it comes to upgrading your elemental skills making you even stronger than ever before!!!

I’ve played more than thrice the classics in arcades when young even if I died so much, but after I bought my xbox 360, had at least the chance to go even deeper on Shumps, its because Bullet Soul, Caladrius, Raiden IV, Akai Katana, and Castle of Shikigami III were set up for this console. Yes, these games weren’t released for PS3 ever before, and then I was always happy when a legit shoot ’em up show up on the Xbox 360 thereto. We seem to get lots of twin-stick and a few runny which are always a bit too sprawly. Rare games to appear on console be it in the classic horizontal or vertical style which is why it is great to see them like this one anywhere, no matter which console was released. An epic tale to the newest work of the Caladrius series with lots of new features that exceeds the original story! Add the fact that character portraits of the pilots frame the gameplay, and beautiful absurdity like boss pilots wearing purple dresses and stuffs such similar somewhat.

If you are familiar to Hentai style, not exactly that deeply, be sure that Caladrius will come at you with something special. Whether wanna see some CG Cuts of Sexy ladies which pilot their ships, just shoot down bonus for Sexy CG Cuts by defeating the bosses that get in the way and obtain erotic CG cuts and images! That is astonish for whose often watch japanese Hentai, but the characters arent overly-sexualised, but you will be able to check further something very nice whether you are a male and interested on this.

The music runs the gamut from high-energy action fare to down-tempo stuffs, but every track is rhythmic and highly impressive, just like some mix of Metal, Rock n Roll, old Euro Dance Music and much more. I’ve leered so intensely after playing ‘tis game, but was kind of funny somehow checking further some instrumentals-themes which are lovely to thine ears. Star-studded voice cast unite with amazing music to add more drama to the storyline whatsoever! Albeit in an over-the-top manner into unbeliveable beefing up the songs studio presence and lending their instrumental attack a newfound clarity that throws considerable skills into sharp relief. Fantastic zeitgeist technique from whoever may recorded such lines beguiling first chapters with such as symphonic synths and gentle melodies long-lasting influence on modern New Age and classical music at all points. Simply stunning heavily synth-based.

The gameplay’s core mechanics make for a decent shmup experience. Caladrius Blaze is a compliment for the lovers of the genre. It balances solid fundamentals with enough unique features to retain a sense of individuality within a competitive genre, however one thing very interesting and always annoying into Shumps, its because Caladrius Blaze still shows how shoot ‘em ups are incredibly short on its campaign. While we want so much 100 stages to look upon deeper and deeper, after undergoing on the five stages the game grants you, the sixth is only unlockable by beating the first five without continuing while the three extras include a bonus stage in Evolution Mode and two challenge missions that test how efficiently you can take out enemies. You can potentially experience all of these stages within an hour and from then on, you’ll just be playing the same scenarios over and over again. That is an odd stuff I deslike a lot. Its annoying because you waste not that much time playing with so much fun on the game and even whether there are boss rush and score attack modes to further test your skills and a helpful tutorial, I still shall forever complain about the lack of quantity of stages. Even the bosses are quite easy to defeat. You can also play cooperatively with a local friend, too. On top of this, you can unlock loads of artwork and story sequences in the gallery which adds a great deal of replay value. It’ll likely take many hours to acquire it all.

About your eyes on things to be seen on screen there are so many bullets that it can get a little confusing at any time, really! You kind of have to get your eye in, especially as things move so fast, and I meant it. The background of the stages moving itself at a slow speed and then everything goes so fast that be ready to die for. The action here is strictly 2D, the backgrounds do go on a bit of a journey…you wont believe what your eyes are going to check further.

THE VEREDICTO

Caladrius Blaze has good core mechanics which offers some classic shmup gameplay and in terms of action this is a pretty solid shmup and should please most fans of the genre. Caladrius’s grandiosely titled “Blaze’’, where your eyes tends to fall part…thunderous, relentless and precise most epic Shumps ever. Game universe of other-wordly skill where time seemed to stand still providing as classics alongside the game finest studio efforts for the most formidable arcade game experience somehow. Developed by Moss and published by H2 Interactive, it is a satisfying representation of the old style of shoot em ups. Intense, varied combat highlighted by fantastic art direction and a groovy soundtrack make Caladrius Blaze one of the best surprises ever released so far.

Caladrius Blaze was played from Blah Cultural on PlayStation 4
