eXceed Collection

Post by MrNash »

Looks like it just came out today, albeit via fairly limited avenues. It's the latest doujin shmup to get localized for the West by NyuMedia, with magical girls in a vertical scrolling bullet hell shooter. I've only spent a few hours with it so far, but it's quite fun. The bullet patterns are pretty snazzy, and each game has its own quirks, which is nice. It's also interesting as you can really see how the series has evolved going from one game to the next. About the only problem the game has is that there can be some slowdown when the screen gets too full of enemies, and it can get crazy full of stuff.

Right now the game is only available via the official site, but it's due out on Gamers Gate and Steam pretty soon. Anyone else try it out yet or plan to take it for a spin?

I'm really interested in playing these games, but I'm torn between this version and the original copies. I generally prefer physical copies of course, but that would cost six times the digital collection (literally). The price point on this is really tempting, so I may end up getting it within the month.
