  I'm not even sure that I'm conscious when playing this game. If like me you're a shmup newbie, start in novice-original and work your way up. The core of the gameplay is figuring out when you need to use SHOT (z) and AUTO (c). SHOT allows you to move slower, focus your shot and see your hitbox (a pale blue circle) while AUTO allows for faster movement and use of your power-ups (trace, formation, etc.)

  Mushihimesama is my most favorite Cave Shmup! And besides the nearly invincible TLB I can recommend it to new players to the genre! Other Cave Shmups like Dodonpachi and Deathsmiles are nice games, but for me Mushi is one of the best Shmups available on Steam.It would have been perfect if there wasn`t this super difficult TLB (True Last Boss) you can only encounter by killing all die Bosses and Sidebosses in time. But even if you`re not a hardcore Shmup Geek you can 1cc clear this game on Novice and Original difficulty, but you need to invest some time and practive tho! I`m not a pro at Shmups but I still can recommend this game to beginners! It`s like the best established Bullethell to get into the genre.

  It's responsive, quick and smooth, the Arrange and Matsuri modes are a treat, and it sounds/looks wonderful. Finally, a better shmup than Crimzon Clover is on Steam! Highly, highly recommended.

  Caves first release into the PC gaming world and here's to hoping it's the first of many. (Deathsmiles and Ketsui next please)! A quick run-down for those interested without getting too technical. Gameplay-wise: It's a real gem. It's easy to understand why Cave is revered as the masters of the shmup genre and it really shows in this instance. Gameplay feels smooth and character motion is natural and effortless. The pixel graphics and backgrounds are all animated beautifully and smoothly. Port-wise: Well it's a great port. I've had a quick playthrough and haven't ran into any problems. There are lots of features such as changable aspect ratio and customisable window and wallpaper options. Mushihimesama is now my personal favourite of all the available shmup games on steam (A leg above Crimzon Clover, Jamestown, Exceed3rd and Ikaruga). Do yourself (and everyone else) a favour and pick this game up right now. That way we can hopefully see more of these amazing games ported over for easy access on Steam without having to pay insane amounts on japanese console ports!

  I knew I'd find a few things to get annoyed with right away, but this is a PC port of a CAVE game that runs fine at first glance and offers all the content available in the 360 versions. Such a thing was a pipe dream for a long time but here we go, Mushihimesama on Steam. What a big day. Buy this game immediately if you've never played Mushihimesama. You've been missing out for years and so have I. On to some ratings and complaints: 10/10 Original game 9/10 Supplementary content 9/10 Port job 7/10 Conversion for PC audience 9.5/10 Post-release support Sound/music for some modes pretty lofi quality. They've worked on some of that (1.5) post-release, this is of course an old arcade came from a board with terrible sound to begin with. Fixing/arranging more of the music would definitely make it a better arcade conversion to the home audience. Could use an FPS counter. I'd like to have an option to get rid of the xbox360 button graphics in menu dialogs etc. Would be nice if the CAVE bootscreen and 1st title screen were shown in a vertical orientation in TATE mode. The screen zoom settings are applied per mode rather than globally which may require you to set this up 4 times in a row the first time you play the game, but on the other hand, this lets you set different wallpapers for each mode, which some players might like a lot, so I think changing this on the setup side, you'd still want to let people change some things per mode. It's not really a big deal. Obviously I'd love to see a new Arrange mode as DLC in the future but I'm sure they will be too busy priming more old games for release in general to take such a long look back into the game code. I'd love to see an Arrange from any of the CAVE devs who didn't work on the original game, but I'd love to see what some random hacker did with it too. Pipe dreams, again. This is an absolute must buy for any STG fan who hasn't been fortunate enough to import Japanese region-locked games. Thank you so much Blackbird and Degica for this. If you have any problems with the game please contact Degica support and I'm sure they will get most of it sorted out. This is certainly worlds better than any DotEmu wrapped emulator rerelease and Degica have rapidly become a godsend to bullet chasers worldwide. This will almost certainly become the definitive version of Mushihimesama. Please excuse any errors on my part as I'm just now playing the game and I have never played the original port or arcade board. twitch.tv/gamegenten

  Mushihimesama is a vertical Bullet Hell in where you play as a girl riding a giant beetle and shooting other giant bugs into oblivion. The reason why is explained at the end of the game but even then you will be left confused as to what happened and be left feeling like you just walked in to the ending of a movie with no context as to what it was about. Very few people go into a bullet hell expecting a engrossing story though I found it funny to be greeted with what was supposed to be a tear-jerking ending when the game didn't even so much as tell me the main character's name before that scene. It may sound weird to start off a review talking about the ending but this is a very short game and you will “beat it” in about half an hour or less, regardless of your skill level. This game features unlimited continues so everyone will be able to get through it if they are persistent enough. However the feature allowing you to save a replay of your play-through will cut off at the point you first lost all lives and had to use a continue. There are three modes to play here, them being Novice, Normal and Arrange. Novice is exactly what it sounds like and makes the game considerably easier by having less projectiles and simpler bullet curtains compared to Normal mode. This is definitely the mode to start with if you are new or out of practice to the genre. Arrange is a remix of the game that tweaks with certain aspects of the game that I will cover more thoroughly in a bit. Each mode minus Arrange has both score attack in which you compete with your friends and “play”. While in either mode you will have the option of either picking “Original”, “Maniac” for higher scores as well as more challenge and finally “Ultra”, for when you want to throw your controller/keyboard across the room in utter frustration at the real last boss wiping the floor with you. You will also be able to change the amount of lives you have and at what score you get more. Finally you will be able to pick which one of the three bullet formations you want to have, S-Power for a stream of condensed bullets for heavy damage, W-Power for a screen filling low damage attack and M-Power that is a mix of both. There are quite a bit of options for you to mess around with to say the least. Now that you are finally in the game and shooting bugs you will notice that this is pretty much what you would expect from a bullet hell. Bombs to clear the screen of projectiles, a counter to keep track of your score and a ton of enemies wanting nothing more than to shoot you out of the air. It does all of this very well and keeps you in a trance like state as you splatter all the bugs and collect all the yellow gems they drop to rake in a high score. Black enemy beetles carry power-ups so you will want to shoot these buggers down. The power-ups are either a small ally beetle that will shoot beams whenever you press the fire button, an upgrade to your projectiles or if you are about to fight a boss, a couple of bombs. A neat thing about the upgrade projectile power-up is that you can let its timer count down and it will change into a different type of shot. So say that you are shooting condensed projectiles but this part of the level is filled with a ton of enemies, simply wait for the power-up to change into a wide-shot formation and you will now have a much more suitable, screen filling projectile attack. This is a really neat system that makes it beneficial to learning the three projectile types instead of always sticking with what you know. Enemies in this game are huge and their size does matter as they will fire larger projectiles the bigger they are. That's not to say you shouldn't be cautious of the smaller enemies as well, since they fire tiny projectiles it can be easy for them to shoot you when you are focusing on a gigantic enemy. Remember that you are flying, you will be able to pass over some ground enemies when the amount of projectiles get intense and it seems there is nowhere to go. Projectiles are bright purple and very easy to spot, so if you get hit it will always feel like your fault. All of the five stages have a mid-boss that you will have to face and will leave if you take too much time with them. Bosses are where you will be most tempted to use your bombs as they will shower you with intricate bullet patterns. These moments are when you will most likely experience slowdown that will bring the action down to a crawl. The developers have stated that these are on purpose to give you a chance to react to all that is happening on screen though it would be nice to have an option to toggle the slow down on or off nonetheless. That finally brings us to Arrange mode. This is only a mode you'd want to play if you are already familiar with the game, it only has the ultra difficulty meaning the game is at its most brutal and you will have to face the aforementioned real last boss. She is the most shump/bullet hell boss I have ever encountered by far. It is an extremely difficult fight and to top it off she has an absurd amount of health. It will takes longer to whittle down her health and defeat her than it does to play through most of the game. Now with that out of the way onto what makes Arrange mode different from the other two modes. For one you start the game fully powered up and are able to kill the earlier enemies much easier than usual. You will also have a feature most other games call “auto-bomb” which causes your character to automatically toss a bomb, clearing the screen when you are about to get hit. In this case she will throw all your bombs if you get hit, making your rate of survival much lower so you will not want to rely on that feature over your instinct of when to use them. The final thing that makes this mode much different is the ability to change your form of projectiles on the whim, to any of the three types available. Music in this game is a calm and soothing strangely enough. Stranger still is that it somehow fits in with the whole shooting giant bugs theme of the game. That is mostly due to the nice environments that range from flying over the water, across deserts and through giant trees. You will also be able to mix and match the music to play stages with either of the two soundtracks available. If you are playing this game horizontally you will be able to pick from 12 backgrounds to cover the parts of the screen that goes unused. Vertically is how this game was meant to be played, so if you have a monitor that can pivot that would be the ideal way to play this, though you can't go wrong either way. Annoyingly enough you will have to tweak the screen settings and the background in each of the three modes separately. One global setting would have been much preferred instead of having to tweak the game to our liking in all three modes. At the end of the day however, that is a minor complaint that will hopefully be fixed in a patch. This is a blast to play and due to its length won't take up much of your time in your attempts to master the game. Mushihimesama is an excellent bullet hell with plenty of content to keep you coming back and is hopefully the first in many of developer Cave's games to be released on the PC.

  Mushihimesama is one of Cave's best STGs, which in turn makes it one of the best entries in the genre. It features glorious bullet patterns, great level and boss design, and a large variety of gameplay modes. The latter makes it particularly suitable as an entry-level shmup, as even beginners should be able to work towards 1-credit-clearing the game. The port was a bit wonky at the start (crashing with larger friend lists), but this issue was fixed quickly.

  One of my all time favorite Bullet-Hell/Shoot 'em up games ever is finally on Steam. The fun of this game comes not only from how well crafted the graphics, sound, bullet patterns, enemy types, etc all are, but also from how simple but elegant the scoring systems are. If you keep playing you WILL keep getting better, and you WILL keep getting higher scores. The game has multiple game modes, each with their own quirks, scoring systems, and differing mechanics. Not only do you have Arcade mode, but you also have Novice mode and Arrange mode. And then each of those has Original, Maniac, and Ultra modes, which differ in more ways than just difficulty. There's also guaranteed to be unlimited challenge as far as the difficulty is concerned. Novice Original is easy enough that people who've never picked up a game like this can 1 credit clear, while Novice Ultra provides for a great time for new players but still has that "holy crap I can't believe I just survived that" feel to it. Then on the other end of the spectrum is Arcade Ultra, which is damned near impossible, you have unlimited credits which is an awesome feature but the challenge of course is to finish each mode with no credits or as less credits as possible and set a new high score. + Great and varied modes and difficulty settings to suit your skill level + Great Soundtrack + Infinite continues + Graphics and art style P.S. the game at launch had a few problems like crashing and not running at all for some like me but now its fixed and runs fine.

  >>>This review has been written after 10 hours of play time<<< So let's get going... Mushihimesama is one of the best vertical scrolling shmups currently available on steam. It features 5 entirely different levels, each one set up in a unique and compelling way. These levels can be played on varying difficulty settings with three different "ship" types and different modes to add even more variety and depth. The beginner friendly novice difficulty, as well as the normal difficulty, is separated into 3 different modes, with unique scoring systems and their own challenges in regards to scoring and staying alive. Don't let the art style fool you, this not some kiddy/girly game throwing monkey wrenches at you, this is a bullet hell game with all the bells and whistles, frenetic, engaging and satisfying all throughout. Well planned and designed bullet patterns will fill your screen like nobody's business, especially when going for more difficult modes. The encounters are nicely orchestrated and structured. The stages play and feel different every time you approach them in a different way, be it hunting for scores or just trying another "ship" type. Replayable? Definitely... If you are the type of player to sink your teeth into games to improve on scores, routes, or to simply push yourself. If you are simply looking for some fireworks, you can have those in spades, but you might be missing out on some of the fun, challenges and content, for that matter. This game is no fast food at all. The more you practice, the further you will go, the higher your final score will be. This game respects your time and rewards you for your efforts. Sure, the art style is matter of taste, but it is somewhat refreshing to have it this way, because the number of military-styled shmups is legion. The colours are vibrant, there is effort put into details which you might easily miss in the heat of the battle. The soundtrack is moody, catchy and matches the overall visual theme, which is always appreciated. The way it looks and sounds, it works fine, simple as that. Is it worth the money? This is something you will have to answer for yourself, because my 20 bucks are not your 20 bucks, if you know what I'm saying. Should you like shmups in general it is worth your time and money, should Mushihimesama be on sale at some point, doubly so. If the idea of thousands of bullets flying around makes your fingertips tingle: What are you waiting for?
