Senko no Ronde Rev X. is the second japanese Xbox 360 game I get to play this week-end. I'm very busy with the trip to Leipzig and the server optimizations so I didn't have a lot of time to really train correctly, but I've still managed to record this fairly interesting video. This game is a strange but interesting mix of a fighting game and a "Bullet Hell" Shoot'em Up, and at first it's really confusing. But after a few minutes everything starts to make sense and it get really enjoyable. The game system is quite simple: A for boosts, X for simple attacks, Y for special attack (guided projectiles, or temporary power ups for the simple attack), B for the secondary attack (bullet hell, mines...), right trigger for the shield and the lest trigger for the mega attack. It doesn't take more than a minute to get used to the controls, as expected from an arcade game. This is a really enjoyable but of course quite limited in scope title, old school gamers should love it.
The video was recorded at 60 fps and was terribly difficult to encode correctly. As I do not wish to make any compromise on the quality, I've had to limit the length to a bit more than 4 minutes for the low quality version, and only one rather long fight the the HD one. As always the 720p60 version requires a very powerful computer.
