Today we present you a full review of the new asian shoot ’em up game “Ghost Blade HD” which is now available on PlayStation 4.
Here’s a snippet:
Ghost Blade HD is a by-the-numbers shmup, replete with a whole host of often ‘optional’ trimmings that genre diehards will be thankful to see included (such as image rotation to make full use of your screen’s real estate – but please don’t be turning your flatscreens on their sides). For the unintiated, the bullet hell genre is one where you control a small avatar flying around an autoscrolling level, taking out swathes of enemies and avoiding a hailstorm of incoming fire, often with seemingly no way to escape a grizzly, one-hit death. Of course, there’s always an escape: your avatar’s hitbox is always much smaller than the avatar itself (you just need to figure out those boundaries), you can usually one of your limited bombs to clear the screen and weaving in-and-out of seemingly random bullet patterns once you’ve learned their pathways becomes second nature.
