The Switch is quickly becoming an excellent home for fans of the shoot-’em-up genre, otherwise known as “shmups”. Release Date: 22 nd of March, 2018 (EU & NA) The music is a highlight and enhances gameplay because it fits so well.By Camjo-Z eShop, Psikyo, Reviews, Sol Divide, Zerodiv Inc Music is dark and eerie which does justice to the game. Definitely looks the part for that 16-bit device. If a console were to be chosen for this game back in the day it would be Genesis. Smaller enemies are bats and assorted flying baddies including ants, skeletons, insects, and beholders. Bosses are gigantic and take up half the screen at least. Graphically it has a dungeons and dragons themeĮnemies are knights, dragons, snakes, and others fitting the genre. I didn’t notice movement speed enough between the three to make a difference. Having a good shot makes it feel more shmup-like in gameplay and that appealed to me the most.
In choosing different characters I found each had their strength in one of the three attacks and Tyora is my favourite because her shot attack is best.
It would not motivate me to make another run in hopes of beating a friend’s score or progress further in the game. Sol Divide is more of a one-person adventure game in the sense of, I don’t feel it has a competitive aspect at all. Usually, I am saddened by leaderboards locked to local but this is not the case for me. Anyone else remember writing these useful things in a notebook as a kid? Swapping through your available magic attacks will prove useful if you can remember each boss’s weakness, let alone have the magic by then. It doesn’t take long to progress to each level’s boss and those seem to be the meaty portions of Sol Divide. This close-quarters engagement is uncomfortable and frustrating, I don’t enjoy it. While stuck in this quarrel you are almost always going to be shot at by other enemies. Hack and slash in an attempt to prevent their attacks from hitting but it varies per enemy. Once a bad guy opts to lean in and take a stab at you, there is no escape it seems. There is not much for movement space unless you chance to fly around the baddies to the right side of the screen. They didn’t keep my interest anyway.įighting close area enemies is a struggle Such short game areas don’t need to be backed with short stories as well. What little story is offered, can be skipped with the press of a button. With each level I beat it turns out the first choice was the only one available as far as I could get. Once the first level is completed, two areas are presented giving the player the power of choice. Typically older games are linear in their progression, and upon beating the first level I thought this wasn’t the case for Sol Divide. Swap between magic using the left and right bumpers. I’ve learned that you can use a magic attack, shot, and physical attack. Just prior to this, enemies were swarming me. Here you will learn what your character can do, as well as customise attacks to buttons of your choice. Hit pause to see a familiar screen that is present on all Psikyo games, then to controller settings. I have no idea what the buttons are since the game threw me in with no hand-holding. A very short-lived scene occurs that states I must die, then the game begins. I opted for Kashon, the flying purple beast angel looking monstrosity. In nine seconds or less, you must judge your pick solely based on looks alone. Their names are given but no other details. Three different characters are available to choose from.
I’ve never played this game before so I will begin on easy. The main menu gives the option of four different difficulty settings from easy, normal, hard, to very hard. So far this is the first time I’ve had to relinquish my Switch from the Flip Grip. Part 4 of the Psikyo Shooting Stars Alpha collection is Sol Divide.
